      posted my only pair over here:
      http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=74.msg208430#msg208430

      I got them about three years ago and they have seen a lot of wear. Hence the departure from their original honey color.
      However, I never bought more Red Wing models, since I find any foot support is barely there and the leather quality is different in same pair. Build quality is OK, but not exceptional.

      I still like them a lot and wear them whenever I don't have to walk too much.

              The last couple of years I wore only Vans, even in Winter. On thursday I wanna buy my first Red Wings, I really like the Moc-Toe. Now it´s a hard decision between the 875 and the 1907. We´ll see how I decide  😛
              Both are beauties!!!

                I have the 1907's and love them, looking forward to your choice JCM 🙂

                  I have the 2204, the 50 watt edition, from 1982. 30 Years old and still so fucking loud and awesome!!! He had some modifications, but the guy at the local guitar-workshop did a great job and now it´s in his originally condition with new tubes! Of course he runs with EL34 and 12AX7 Tubes 🙂
                  But that do not help me with my choice between 875/1907 haha

                    Oh yeah, 12AX7's and EL34's are an absolute! Old Marshall's are the best. 😉

                    Try on both pairs of RW's and see which pair feels best, I did that and went with the 1907's because I liked
                    the leather insole liners.

                                nice JCM, congrats. for colder months you may put in a nice lambwool-insole keeping your feet warm; I do that as well on my 875's and is supercomfortable 🙂 have fun with your first ones and enjoy the break-in time, afterwards they're getting really really soft

                                Cheers,
                                David

                                  @JCM:Great choice. You wouldn't regret. Take awhile to break in, after which I hoped you will enjoy it! Here is mine just roughly over 1 year.

                                  Did a clean up and applied Obenauf's LP on 875 today.

                                        Should a cobbler be able to resole and shape my RW 1914 to the sole configuration displayed on the whites boots? I have been meaning to go about this for a while but I have been a little weary of putting my boots in someone else's hands.

                                          Hey all, had a question on some 1907's I wanted to put to you. I wear 10.5 in most sneakers and had a pair of Georgia boots in 10.5 that fit very well. I know most size down a half with other RW moc's but read plenty of recommendations about the 1907 to go tts. Have tries on 875's in 10 and they felt right but… After getting a pair of 1907's in 10.5 I'm struck with how snug they are. Length seems perfect, width is snug but I imagine that loosens with break in. What gives me pause is that even with the thin (but nice) leather insole provided my toes rub up on the underside of the toe box. I've read these guys can have a brutal break in and I will suffer through it, just wanted to ask while I could still return them. Forum peeps who have had these (and you all really seem to like them), snug and lil pain at first will equal comfy great fit eventually? Thanks!
