Red Wing Shoes

[kit99bar]

Giles, do they seem to run about 1/2 size small?  My right foot (bigger foot) pushes the sides out :.  son of a!

[Giles]

They seem to be pretty TTS to my gammy sizing…..

[Giles]

I've been wearing the things for 6 hours and I have already fecked them up.  Never mind, I still love 'em….

hope you didn't spill the whole beer

[Giles]

I think it may have been oil when I was cooking…....Beer, I do not spill....

Sometimes it freaks me out as how much we are alike, G…

[Jii]

Really tempted by those G thanks to your pics. I just have to figure out my size since the biggest at Nordstrom is a US12 and I really don't want to risk it..

Love these, much softer and more comfortable than I thought they would be straight ot of the box.

[Giles]

And the shoes?

[kit99bar]

I'm tempting to get the 5 eyelet model you guys got and size up 1/2 size. hmmmmmmmmmmm

@Giles:

And the shoes?

Definetly both.

Had the chance to try a pair in US11 and I think the next size will be perfect. Incoming :).

Depends on the model how you size them.

On the Gentleman Traveller, I wear a 9.5

On other Redwings, 10

On Chucks, I wear a 10

Most other sneakers I wear a 10.5

Just my experience

As for weather treating them, I like Obenaufs. I learned a trick from a firefighter friend of mine to generously apply Obenaufs all over the boot, especially the seams, and double especially to the bottom most seam that attaches to the bottom of the boot. Then use a blowdryer and melt it all in. Let it soak in and cool for overnight. Do this once more.

I did this two years ago, haven't had any water enter my boot, even while shoveling snow

Echoing Doug's sizing.  I am .5 down for the GTs otherwise my Redwing size and Chuck size are the same.

My new fall footwear:

So, if anyone is even remotely interested in the Viberg X IH Scout boot in size 9, get at me; they need to go.

The bad: the 12E was a bit too tight for me, no sizing down on these. I could have managed them but don't feel like risking it so these are a no go for me.
The good: They accidentally sent me a right foot 11 and a left foot 12 so I got to return them free of charge.

How funny…...
