Red Wing Shoes

[Dans]

Only have history with chelseas and moc toes after selling factory second copper r&t iron rangers a while back after a sale of theirs. Wife and I have a delightful cabin weekend near redwing so I got to stop by and pick these 8089 (oro) up:

Hi there,

Having great difficulties buying a pair of Red Wing 3141 in a US7 2E or US7.5 2E - US stores seems to have them a'plenty, but none of them are shipping to Europe (Denmark).

Are there anyone that know a seller within Europe that sells these in the above sizes? I have tried 5 different Red Wing authorized dealers, (red wing berlin, amsterdam etc.).

New IR 8085s arrived today!
Christened with 888s.
Went half down from Brannock and they fit spot on (UK11).

Also could anyone advise on what my 877 moc size would be based on these?

@Kaare Moved your request to the right area. Good luck.

@long_john86 great looking boots. I went a half size up from my IR size for my Mocs but a lot of guys do the same size as the IR. Definitely try some on if you get the chance. I wore pretty thick socks with my Mocs too. Good luck!

[long_john86]

@SKT thanks matey. I love how the toe cap is darker on the right one as well, a bit of that natural unpredictability and charm!
Yes I hear the moc whilst appearing a bit fuller has less space in the toe box due to an extra lining of leather inside? I may be wrong there?
These IRs are by no means snug or tight in any way so perhaps going for the same size in the moc could be the way….

@long_john86 I’ve had quite a few pairs of RWs over the years. Mocs, IR, Blacksmiths, etc. All of them were half size down from brannock for me. All size 9 in each pair.

[long_john86]

@Mizmazzle thank you for this, that’s reassuring to hear. I can see some decide to bump up by 0.5 from IR but that doesn’t appear to be possible for me anyway (UK11.5 in moc doesn’t appear to exist!?)

In that case, my only outstanding reservation on the 877 would be the time and effort it will take to get them on and off!!

[Mizmazzle]

@long_john86 well, if it’s any help, I always found my Mocs to be the most comfortable and slightly roomier in volume inside the boot.

[jiminstitches]

@long_john86 im a UK7.5 in IR but size up to an 8 in the Moctoe. I actually find the Moc last narrower than the IR, but I have fallen arches so that may be why. Worth noting if you have flat feet to bro.

[jiminstitches]

@Dans Ive been eyeing these up! I have the standard IR but with double cuffs they look to small so usually go for my Mocs. Do these have that chunky look like the Moc toes?

[long_john86]

@jiminstitches thanks for the info matey Looks like quite a few people do the 0.5 size up. Weird they don’t do the moc in 11.5

New red wings for the year. Very excited about the shop mocs making a comeback

also very excited this morning to get a pair i've been after for quite a while. 8168. I sized the same as another pair of pecos i've had and unfortunately they're a little snug. going to try out a boot/shoe stretcher and hope it resolves it

[SKT]

@marco23d great loooking pair of Pecos. Hope they stretch some for you. Also love those Oxford style moc toes in pic. I don’t think those are ever sold in the states…someone correct me if I’m wrong

[Dans]

@jiminstitches I like em. The traction tred helps what you’re saying I think. For me, the Mocs have always looked bulky on me so I think this contemporary version of the IR really does it for me

Here’s my old pair of amber harness rangers!

[SKT]

@jiminstitches wow man those look like they’ve seen some things. Awesome!!

[jiminstitches]

@SKT yeah got them back in 2014, one thing they haven’t seen is a leather conditioner! Which they probably should!

[SKT]

@jiminstitches ha, yeah depends what you like. I’ve got a pair of those that I’ve oiled with red wing’s boot oil and they’re much darker. I prefer the look of yours
