downsize at least half a size
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.Thank you for the advice

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!

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?
-
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

just busting your balls dude. -
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

I've found they do tend to stretch a bit, when they've stopped making your feet bleed. The size 9s above felt tight when new but as they broke in have become to loose for a normal sock really, whereas the 8s are fine. Nither pair were tight width ways though.
IF they feel tight when you put your foot in without lacing them up then they're too narrow. -
quick question ya'll, i needs me some rain red wings, any suggestions on a black pair to keep my feet dry?
