Red Wing Shoes

[stever]

for ingrown toenails, give em a hot-as-you-can-stand saline bath morning and night, and try to give them as much air as possible. wearing boots may not be the best for them….

as far as break-in is concerned, the toe box and the tongue will probably give you the most hassle. work through it, or got for a 5 minute walk, take your boots off, and throw physiotape/leukotape/etc on any hotspots. other than that, thin socks inside a pair of thicker socks will do wonders for reducing blisters in the break in period.

ps. thanks guys, they're a bit over half a year old now. the toebox has gotten the shit beaten out of it from cycling, but i gave them a quick clean & polish this morning and they are holding up solid.

@nooblet333:

Great to hear! but uh-oh I went tts!
Also hope it doesn't hurt my toe much during the breaking-in process.. Since I kinda have an ingrown toenail..
LOL 

you should try them on and if they fit large (which will most likely be the case) you should exchange them.

OMG! My red wings still hasn't came in yet  >:(! When I do get them should I apply snoseal on them right away? Or break em in first?

[nooblet333]

Yeaaah My red wings just came in

[gollotti]

I thought this day would never come.

Getting older does come with its perks

^ Looking good Cris,

Hey Nooblet, how did the size work out for you on your GT's?

[nooblet333]

True to size

[nooblet333]

True to size

[deadendpro]

so your read wings fit fine even though you went true to size? really??? 

[stever]

if i wore the army issue socks i used through highschool i reckon i could've gone TTS…

[deadendpro]

i find that hard to believe. red Wings are notoriously known to be a size big. but i suppose if the socks are that thick… still, something seems off to me.

[nooblet333]

Yeah honestly, they fit TTS  I was actually suprised too thinking that I would be  :-X. and had to return it =.=
But yeah also I just wear regular Nike High cut socks btw I waxed my GT's with SnoSeal
