    @WhiskeySandwich this is a rather interesting consistency. One thing I always seem to have to deal with with Red Wings is a callous build up between my pinky and next toe in. It causes discomfort for sure. Then I apply a Dr. Sholl’s callous pad remover thingy. Takes a few days but the callous falls off and then the boots feel great after that. Happens like every single time.

    None of my higher end boots have ever done that to me though. I do feel my lofgrens, vibergs and wescos are a touch roomier in the toe box…so that seems to do the trick.

    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

      @Mizmazzle that’s a stumper too, especially if you have ample room. My wings alway have plenty of space cuz I have a slightly low volume foot for d width. It’s probably just the way I walk or something. Lol

        Can anyone advise in sizing for pecos? Found some 8159 online in 10E. My Iron Rangers and Beckmans are 9.5d and fit good, bit snug but can still wear them longer periods. Since the Pecos should be more narrow, could the 10E fit or maybe still too small?

                  anybody in the US recently get a repair done at the RW factory? Just curious what their current turnaround is. Figured it'd be a while...

                    Just got my 1907 back from a resole at red wing. Took exactly the full month of August from the day I dropped off at my local RW store. Had them swap the storm welt for a regular flat welt and I love it! Got rid of that extra bulk.

                        @Jcaz6996 love em, especially with this sole. The copper leather rocks, and the 45 last fits me great with no insole. Let’s see yours!

                              @Denimhead-0 their “premium” repair is 150usd, and includes shipping if you drop at a RW store. That could potentially include the sole, the welt, minor stitching repair, and eyelet/speed hook swap. They also condition the leather, install new laces, and give you a free can of mink oil. Kinda pricey, but I really wanted the slimmer welt in my most worn pair.

                                    I had no idea these had even been released until Monday, and so as a sucker for anything green I had to grab a pair - and I must say they are just perfect (and very comfortable)

                                      such a long thread . Bought my first RW back in 2008, those were 8 inch 877s. I was struck at once with their quality and appearance, and smell ... did not have such a boot before. Since they were half size too large I kept them anyway but ordered another sage mocs, 8139. Since then, I became sort of obsessed (not really but ) with boots, and RW in particular, probably as they are one of the best bang for buck heritage boots. So I bought but can not really wear them all... kind like with IR shirts . I think I am at around 15 pairs of RW atm, maybe more, having less than 10 pairs in rotation. Still wear the 8139 from 2008, resoled them once, and planing to send them in for another in a couple of days too. One of my favourite pairs still.

                                      Of course, after years of only RW I tried some other brands but RW is really good for the money. I got mocs, Iron Rangers, Harvesters, Chuckas, some rare oxfords I found in Asia ( Bangkok and Singapore usually have the best editions ) etc. I have to say that I recently found that their quality control is not that good ... my last few pairs I ordered online all had some kind of defect, I even decided not to buy online ever again, but the closest RW shop is more than a thousand miles from where I live, in Amsterdam or Berlin, and last time I was there they had just a few pairs in my size and I had all of them. I am tempted by the all black black harness leather mocs, the new model ... so who knows. 😳

                                          i know the 9060 is a sought after boot. snake oil provisions just posted they have a restock landing on the eighth with a preorder open. so pumped to finally get this boot. i tried them on in japan and for some reason decided to pass on them. i've thought about them since.
