        Unless you have a particularly wide foot.

          Thanks
          Should I downsize from the sneaker size or the Lucchese size? In other words should I grab an 11 or a 10.5 if my EU foot size is 45 (normally 11.5 in the US)

            I'd say go with 11.
            I am a 10.5 in most everything and a 10 in these (also these happen to be my favorite boots I've ever had).
            Also keep in mind that these work best with a slightly thicker sock, so you should fill out the 11 just fine.

              I am a size 13 and seeing as there is no 12 and a half, could i do a 12 in the GT's or the iron ranger? Or should i just get a 13 and put in soles in?

                  Pulled the trigger on a pair of 1907's. Comfy right from the start, but I'm still going to insert a gel sole (since I've discovered those, I put them everywhere!), great color.

                  One funny thing: the shoe is big and for a while, I couldn't shift gears on my motorcycle the way I'm used to. Driving back through Paris last night at rush hour was a total bitch for a few awkward minutes!

                    Anyone waiting on orders for Red Wing in the UK - my Iron Rangers are over 2 months in the pipeline now. Apparently RW has changed their wharehousing operation recently.

                    Really ticking me off.

                      Update: the leather laces have been keeping breaking, really pisses me off. I'm a go for regular laces, which is too bad because I kinda loved the color match.

                        Really?  I have leather laces in two of my pairs of RWs and I haven't ever broken them. Have you tried multiple lace types?

                          I found oiling the laces first really helps with the elasticity.

                            Its the lace for the right shoe that kept breaking, I guess it was a defect with that particular lace. I need to find something more resistant, though, like electric wire or kevlar or whatever, because I'm pulling real hard on them laces when I put the shoes on in the morning. Nothing brutal but quite tight.

                              has anyone got any experience with the original store (london)?

                              i'm tempted to cop one of the 875's but i'm kinda worried because the store is not listed in RW's official retailer and the price is around 40% cheaper than normal  😎

                              it's not a jeans, it's an iron heart

                                            Advice please guys…

                                            ...so, I have a pair of box fresh Iron Rangers sat on my desk. They are a US 12 D (my normal RW size) and they seem freakin' narrow.

                                            Comments on width stretch + general feedback please?

                                            I waited 3 months for these fuckers so I am not keen on flipping them.

                                            Thanks
