All indications are that Finn is going to be a happy man soon on the RC sizing, though nerkg's description of the sizing sounded perfect "fits like us 9.5 or snug 10"

[superfuzz]

I went with a size 7.5 in the RCs which is what I wear in Alden Truebalance last and in Red Wings. The fit great with thick socks. I need to wear them some more so they'll mold to my feet. I had to add some extra holes to the strap to get it tighter.

[davito]

try em on first and maybe work with an insole and see how you feel, every feet are different

lol, not in this life matey but never say never right ^^

[mclaincausey]

Well I'm a 9.5 in red wings very solidly (electronic measurement at a RW store) so there is hope.

Davito you better believe ill try any measure to keep these babies

Thanks guys such a great community.

[davito]

thats good, keeping those babies is the goal

[mclaincausey]

Indeed so, but I can at least rest assured there's a loving home awaiting if I can't make it work.

Someone on Superfuture wanted to see the backstays of my Road Champs where they were restitched after narrowing the shafts. So I thought I'd post pics here too.

Road champs really are freaking sweet. Not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that I'm too young to be walking around in this footwear…

And another question on my mind: how do you think these babies stack up against Viberg and such?

[mclaincausey]

I was wearing Harley engineers in high school, you aren't too young!

Badass! I only wore vans throughout high school and college.

from what i know RC's don't have any age limit my friend

[mclaincausey]

Vans and Chucks were in rotation too, as were combat boots

[tatmantall]

Absolutely no age limit…. Look at cats like James dean back in the day rockin engineers... It's a timeless style of footwear that unfortunately very few companies still manage to make with that beautiful and proper silhouette
