Red Wing Shoes

@NorvilleRogers no IRs to compare with but I have two pairs of harvesters and the brown is definitely narrower than the black. Still, both are comfortable in their own way and I guess some variation is normal.

Thanks @cosmic55 … good to know. I thought my feet had been sneaking off to the pie shop!

Thanks @ARNC
It feels almost a half size different, definitely cant fit a thick boot sock in there, but it’s nothing a few weeks of gentle pain won’t solve! -
My Redwings after their spring cleaning and re-conditioning. I’ve had the Engineers for over 30 years now. I use them exclusively for riding. Lots of miles, several re-soles and a couple of repairs. But still excellent. I bought the Iron Rangers in 2007 - when they were re-released. They saw minimal use until this last year - when I finally got the toe boxes stretched a bit. I’m wearing them regularly now. The 606s are only a couple years old. This is my second pair of 606s. I find them very comfortable.

@SFMCfranky Nice! the engineers are in good shape considering their age/use. Iron rangers are looking great!
-
@NorvilleRogers My Merchant's are the snuggest fit and my Rover and 4585 Logger are a lot more spacious but they both feel different to each other as well. I wear a Darn Tough full cushion sock in those but would be too snug in the Merchant.

@cosmic55 … I got myself a boot stretcher. I wasn’t particularly hopeful, but it actually worked quite well. My little pinky toe is very grateful!

I feel like that goes for all modern Red Wings. I wear moc toes and I’ve found that two pair in the same color in the same size will fit totally different. I’m to the point that I almost won’t buy them unless I can try them on first.

@Go-For-Chill I’m the same with most footwear - trying on is the way unless it’s impossible or I have learned from experience that a particular last/size combo always works for me.
