My "go to" boots, Red Wing GT's.

I was just thinking the same…  I like the oxblood ones I've seen pics of.

I've been thinking about the sand suede oxfords

[nameness]

Found the pair I like on sale.  From what I've read these run half a size big, can anyone confirm?  Thinking of going down another half and going sockless…

Yeah I found the pair I want on sale as well. Just waiting on a few things to sell etc. Anyways, I would be wary of wearing RW's without socks. RW is notorious for a hard breaking in process. I am sure once they are worn in it isn't a problem but to begin with, NO WAY! Also, I take a US11 in RW, US12 in Nike, US11.5 in Vans, US11.5-US12 in Chucks…

In February, after a lot of hunting about, I managed to get a pair of 8109's/ brown and am really chuffed with them. Before buying I was told they come up 1/2 a size large, I'm a uk 8.5 so went for the uk8 / us9 and they fit fine and are certainly not tight. If you want to go sockless you may want to think about going a full size down, depends on your feet!
I got mine from a uk ebay shop shipped straight from Germany so if there had been a size problem I would have been in the crapola. If you're not fussed about sockless thing go with the 1/2 size down and see how it goes.

Thanks for the feedback guys.  Think I'll play it safe and just go half a size down vs. possibly killing my feet.  Which ones are you getting, Lando?  I'm after the grey ones…

alancforte - post some pics if you have time!

I would be carefull about dropping a whole size, I did this with a pair of RW 8173' which turned out to be just too tight, I thought they might give a bit but they weren't having any of it. S'pose I should try and sell them really.

yeah thinking about it, i'm with lando on sockless, your feet would be shredded before you got out the front door.
Will post some pics if i can find my camera.

[nameness]

Right on, I can always wear them without once they're worn in.  Ordered!

Grey rough out/ suede as well…

[nameness]

Oops, my bad.

Great minds think alike?  See 'em on Caliroots?

[Finn666]

someone interested in some RedWing 9162 ?

thinking about selling mine… !?

[Blackheart]

My next pair will be the engineers in brown, sole depends…I'll see how they fit and look.

[nooblet333]

Anyone looking for a pair of 9015 in size 9 U.S? Trying to get rid of mines quite cheap! Basically new!

@nameness:

Functional reason you prefer the Vibram sole?  I think they look much better with a leather one.

I just got a pair of the black Engineer Boots for my mate and the Vibram Cork sole looks awesome.

I picked up these Red Wing Boots on Ebay yesterday for $19.99… that place is very addictive!

New. Out of the box.
Picture is really shitty, they are black (jeans are the PBJ 007 deep indigo, that are darker than classic indigo denim).

[Finn666]

^loving the pic and it seems like they do fit you very well!

[Blackheart]

Congrats on the new RW's Georgeel, they look great! Fit is spot on.
