@ZackB love them so far! Second pair of Zerrows boots and a few pair of their sandals as well. Great build and no complaints.

[ZackB]

@goosehd good to hear. I pre-ordered some slit sandals from them. Can’t wait to get them next year.

My heart cries when I see boots neglected and abused to get instant "patina". I don't get the hype and competition who can fuck up their pricy gear fastest. To each their own, I guess....

@ZackB to clarify I meant June 2021. So it also took me years to achieve

@68degreesorless hahaha fair enough, I was like holy shit that’s insane. I think @injunjack thought the same!

Are you steadied for the ensuing name-calling at home?

@Denimhead-0 if you don’t want to go down exactly the same route as Dennis, you may have some options next year. I spotted these the other day when I was looking for something else.

Hey guys! I forgot to ask about my shoe size. My Russian shoe size is 45. My foot length is 29.5 cm. What size would fit me on the Red Wing website? 11.5 or 12?

[Walery Smirnoff]

Has anyone bought one? Does anyone have size 45?

[JunkPants]

Got these in just a few minutes ago.
Really liked these from the first promo shots, and they did not disappoint. Love the black oil slick leather.

@Walery-Smirnoff I got these in the same size as my moc toes (9.5) and fit seems excellent. (If my memory serves me correctly my feet are 27.5 cm. My guess would be 11.5 would be a good choice for you, but it's always hard to make recommendations, as both feet and people's preferences for how shoes/boots should fit can vary a great deal).

[Walery Smirnoff]

@JunkPants Gorgeous boots! Congratulations! I'll never be able to change the size. Otherwise, I'll have to eat them)) Like Charlie Chaplin)) I can't even call the store.

[JunkPants]

@Walery-Smirnoff Thank you!
I have (far too) many nice pairs of boots, Wesco, Viberg etc. but I really dig these loggers. Awesome boots.

Good thing about Red Wing is there should be plenty of resources, discussions, videos etc on general sizing if you search it out.

And these should be perfectly fine for winter imo. A decent pair of socks and you should be ok. For daily winter use in Norway this type of construction has served me well for many years. If you're stationary (ice fishing etc) or perhaps working outdoors it's a different story of course, and I would look at something more insulated.

[Walery Smirnoff]

@JunkPants For severe frosts, I have felt boots. But for jeans, I need stylish boots.

[JunkPants]

@Walery-Smirnoff Then you are good to go! And I agree.

[Ross]

@Walery-Smirnoff I'm a size 46 is Russian boots and fit an 11.5 in Redwings, although they're a little snug. With a 45 i think 11.5 should be about right...although take that with a pinch of salt as I'm not hugely knowledgeable when it comes to Redwing relatively speaking.

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Ross Thank you! This is valuable practical information!

Not much of a feat in patience @northsouthdenimguy , with that view I’m sure several of us could calmly sit it out in total tranquility.
