Red Wing Shoes

[Choko]

I call them the Dr.Peppers now haha

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Choko dude i bet those will look sick once they've seen some miles.

My latest pair, day 1. A bit snug on my “tailors bunion” (new term to me, bony pinky bump), but I’m sure they’ll give way. Got the same size as all my other RW, and they all start out a bit owchie, then work out. The copper rough and tough work chukka. This is my third model with the stuff - I love this leather.

Since I mentioned it, here are the other two

[WhiskeySandwich]

Well I admit my goof. After day 2, these are more owchie than I thinks is acceptable, and I’m pretty sure the pointed toe requires the 1/2 size extra. We’ll see when they show up.

Outdoor National Trust play thingy. Risky business in the North.

@WhiskeySandwich yes, the Work Chukkas need at least 0.5 size up from your regular size. I tried them on and no way these would have worked comfy. I wear 9.5 in IR, 10 in mocs and just ordered some Work Chukkas in 10.5

[WhiskeySandwich]

@FlavourFade Thats about in line with what others reported during my research. I find the mocs to be the most roomy of all though, and i swear I could probably get away with an 8.5 lol. But my Blacksmiths, mocs and 1907 are all a 9. I'm a 10 in Vans and on a Brannock. the 9.5 on the work chukkas is perfect though. Sold the other pair to a work buddy.

[FlavourFade]

@WhiskeySandwich funny how different feet are. I have no idea what my brannock size is (german dude) but wear an 11us in most of my sneakers, but could get away with a 10.5. My Iron Rangers are the hawthorne muleskinner ones, so maybe with other leathers I would have to get a 10 but the roughout is soft enough to not generate discomfort. Mocs are a little too narrow for me so I need to size up to 10 at least. But I'm really thrilled to the chukkas

[FlavourFade]

Was eyeing these for a couple years, after I saw a review of a really beaten pair on YouTube. Now finally got them and love how lightweight and easy to wear the 3141 Work Chukkas are. Compared to other Red Wings I had the break in is not existing, compared to my John Lofgrens they def need to soften up.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@ Flavourfade love those, i just got a pair of them in CRT leather. They feel great but they've been giving me a hot spot on my right heel only. Took a day off of them today. From my experience with the Briar, its a bit more forgiving in my Moc.

anybody peep the new Olive Mohave Mocs? Digging these a lot....

Nova Rock 2024… the boots have about 18 months of daily use in them.

Lil clean up

@FlavourFade @Denimhead-0 moved my response from the motorcycle thread here. I ended up going with a lightly used find, also on last 8, rather than the 2060. A 2012 round toe, in the copper roughout. The previous owner barely wore them and had insoles in, so didn’t mold the cork/leather. They’re less broke in than my latest pair of work chukkas. Freshened them up with a thorough wash and condition. I’m already thinking these might be my favorite pair. It’s just a shame they’re extinct.

[FlavourFade]

Wearing my 9060 for work today and did not remember them being that comfy. They are great to walk in and look awesome.

[PJ]

@FlavourFade The 9060 is indeed surprisingly comfortable even with a non boot sock. Wear mine a lot at work too.
Cheers

[FlavourFade]

Then show us some pictures, love to see some wear and tear on the 9060 @PJ
