^ Looking good Cris,

Hey Nooblet, how did the size work out for you on your GT's?

[nooblet333]

True to size

[nooblet333]

True to size

[deadendpro]

so your read wings fit fine even though you went true to size? really??? 

[stever]

if i wore the army issue socks i used through highschool i reckon i could've gone TTS…

[deadendpro]

i find that hard to believe. red Wings are notoriously known to be a size big. but i suppose if the socks are that thick… still, something seems off to me.

[nooblet333]

Yeah honestly, they fit TTS  I was actually suprised too thinking that I would be  :-X. and had to return it =.=
But yeah also I just wear regular Nike High cut socks btw I waxed my GT's with SnoSeal

My 8175 was a size down for me. Spot on, the arcs inside was where it's supposed to be. The rangers I tried on I was 1.5 size down from my sneakers. Weird stuff. I'm just glad I went straight to a redwing store to try as many pairs, different sizes I could.

[crisone]

With my 8130's, I went a half size down, threw in an extra insole, and wore thicker socks than usual, and they fit perfect, if I went true, then it would be too big.

Hope this helps anyone for this specific model.

Cris.

Does anyone's red wing's shoe laces comes of quite frequently? Past couple days they keep untying. I have to tie them about 2-3 times a day kinda annoying me  any tips?

[rocket]

I always double tie them, but your right they have the tendency to untieing…

[gollotti]

Nope - I tend to alway double/triple tie my laces…..habit I learned from my laces untieing frequently during childhood.

skip to ~8 minutes, tie them hard using that method.

[nooblet333]

Normally people do what is called "postmans knot" but I've used what my grandpa called… "shoelace knot"
It's exactly this:

I've never had any problems.
