      The only pair of black boots I have are some Alden shell cordovan cap toe boots, which look really dressy.
      I think these might be a good option for a more casual boot. Hoping they don't sell out immediately so I can think it over.

            Does anyone have experience with the sizing of the Chukka? In particular the 3143?
            I just found a slightly used pair online for a steal, but I‘m not sure about the size. Do they run smaller or bigger?
            They are UK 7, usually I wear 7.5 to 8 on my trainers.

              I can only speak for myself but I wear the same size in all RWs (IR, Beckman, Chukka and Moc Toe).

                I wear a full size smaller in red wing then in any of my sneakers as they tend to run big. I think they would be a good size for you. (But don’t hold me to that and get angry if they don’t fit [emoji51])

                    I really wish they made 11.5 in the 9874’s, I haven’t tried them on yet but in other boots that run big I’m a solid 11.5, which leads me to believe the 11’s will be too small and the 12’s too big. Guess I’ll find out whenever I go try a pair on.

                          @David_pll  The leather is so stiff. It’s unlike my 877’s or 8143’s which where so buttery. I can’t wait to see how the black  starts to wears down to the brown underneath.

                          New vs an old roughout

                            They have them in 11.5

                              They look even better in your photos, I’ve had my 875s for 4 years now so they are super soft. Kind of excited/worried about breaking these in now!

                                Oh thanks @David_pll , I was assuming they didn't make them in 11.5 since I saw a few stores were out of them.
                                Going to try a pair tomorrow, the store near me only has 11 and 12 so we'll see how it pans out.

                                  Had to have mine ordered direct from RW as I was a bit slow off the mark, but hats off to standard & strange for the outstanding customer service.

                                    I didn't think I'd be interested in RWs again, but the Irish Setter 9874 looks really good. However it's har to tell what it will look like broken in. The inner colour is really bright, contrast could be pretty high.

                                    > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

                                      Red wing was the proverbial gateway drug that got me into all the footwear I love today. Over the years I've had Iron Rangers, 875s, 877s, Ice Cutters, etc…all of which I eventually got rid of.

                                      My first pair was the 1907 in Copper Rough and Tough and while I am in agreement with @Max Power in that I'm not really interested in much that RW is doing these days, the 1907 is still one I find interesting enough to keep around (although the outsole blows and lost all traction in about half a season)….

                                      You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                                        The tea core leather will evolve beautifully on the 9874.

                                            9874's look really good, I'm still going back and forth on if I really need a pair or not.
