Question - If I'm a 11 1/2 US in Wolverine 1000 Mile boots would the 9014 Beckman in 11 1/2 US be a similar fit?  Thanks in advance for the help!

EDIT - did a bit of interweb searching and I think I've answered my question…  They should work fine!

I'm a UK 13, which correlates to a US 14. My (now clean and shined) Beckmans are a US 13, so you could probably go down a size.

I haven't tried on a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, so can't draw any comparisons there. Sorry.

Im always a UK9 in most shoes or boots can go with 10-10.5 with nike or adidas. went with 9uk with my RW and think can go with
a half size down. But with an insole the fit is perfect…

I'd say they fit pretty much the same.

Weird mark on the inside of my right boot…

Apologies if this has already been covered, but does anyone know a reliable online source for the RW accessories/care & restoration products?  I'm after some of the leather cleaner (item 97107) and leather conditioner (item 97104), but a bit of googling doesn't really turn up much in the way of options here in the UK.

Happy to go outside the UK, but always like to get a recommendation if I can when I do…

Awesome, thanks man

I just braved the world's most annoying shoe store to try on a pair of Moc toes. Now the question: do these boots stretch out, width wise? Length was fine, but D width was problematic. Thoughts?

[CLJ]

Nooooo, if you need the width get it. They do E and EE widths of which I'm the latter.

Did you go to Get Outside?

[zwer]

Yeah, I did. It was awful. Sales girl brought me an 11.5 and a 12, but the 12 was the wrong style.

Where did you get the bigger width from? I looked online and only found the 8131 in a D.

[CLJ]

The only wider boots they had was the 875 which was what I wanted.

That place is a zoo and the sales staff aren't all….knowledgable.

Heres the link for the 875 EE here and E here

[zwer]

The problem is, these are the ones that I want, and I don't think I have an option in width:

[CLJ]

Ahh. If they can't/don't do width then you might be screwed. You could get the 'D' and have it stretched out by a cobbler but thats a $250 gamble you might not want to take.

Nice looking boot. I need me some roughout leather.

@yongIH:

Today at work…

Your post has me looking for these on eBay, you bastard…

[Snowy]

I've been stretching my 875 D's out for the past few months. It's been painful, but they are giving. Frequent oiling with mink oil seems to help too. The joys of purchasing RW's from Amsterdam online

[zwer]

Good to know that they do stretch in width. I'm waiting for them to go back on sale and then I'll order them.

@Seul:

And someone bought them whilst my proxy had made an offer. Should've bought at full price…

So yeah: if anyone knows where I can still buy a pair of these (3142)... 

Thank you eBay. I know I said in the Recent Purchases thread that there set me back 35 €, but I lied… It was 35.5 €...

I read an article on how many Japanese buyers file down the sole of their Red Wings to give it much thinner subtle looking sole .. anyone else heard of this ?

[Takeshi]

this picture shows similar to what I mean , the back of the sole looks filed , and the sole itself looks much more slim-line ..
