Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
My 3141's are about the most comfortable shoes I own but they do run a little narrow. I'd suggest either trying them on first or ordering from somewhere that has free return shipping.- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
A little heel slip during break-in is normal, especially with slip-on style boots and a stiff sole. Also, you may already know this, but if you wear them without the insert the leather footbed will bend and mold to your foot over a few weeks. Its one of my favorite things about the Red Wing...- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
I don't think you could go wrong with either one. The classic is more casual, with the white sole. They're both good looking, it may come down to which is more comfortable. The crepe sole is hard to beat for that.- matthewh

Looks like it has a leather lining. I wonder if it will be fully leather lined or if that's just an accent band at the top. Leather lined boots are so much more comfortable and getting harder to find these days.- matthewh

The Original Chippewa Heritage Boot Line
So how is the footbed on these? Is there any cushioning? I think these are nice looking chukka boots, there just isn't much information about them online anywhere.- matthewh

Year 'round for me too, though I do mix some sneakers in. I also prefer to still wear my merino wool socks all year, except not with sneakers.- matthewh

Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners
My Brannock size is 11, which is what I usually order. For me its for length. I have narrow feet so typical D width shoes are always too wide. I typically wear thicker socks and like to have plenty of toe room so I seldom size down. I also wear the RW Chukka is 11. The RW moc toe is the only...- matthewh

Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners
I've got both the cap toe and cordovan versions in size 11 and I wear the Red Wing moc toe boot in size 10.5 if that helps. I like the cordovan boot much better than the cap toe. I recently saw the black version and thought they were pretty cool looking. I don't wear my Katahdin's as much though...- matthewh

Thanks for the info. Small toe area is exactly where they feel a little tight.- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Can anyone speak to the fit of the Classic Round toe boot vs the Chukka or Moc toe boot? I'm wanting to get a 6" black boot and I like the comfort of the crepe sole. The chukka boots fit me well in size 11. I've tried on a moc toe in 10.5. There was plenty of room in front of my toes but there...- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
I don't mind the Weekender chukka, they're like a better quality Clark's Desert Boot. However, the asymmetry on this pair looks off. If they matched it might be more bearable. I agree with others that you might consider the work chukka. The 3141 is my favorite. Although, I'm also still...- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Those look pretty bad-ass! So did they retain their original comfort level? I know they replace the cork under the footbed plus that new leather looks pretty thick and stiff. I didn't realize Red Wing had these kinds of options for resoling.- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Beginning new break-in: 3140 Oro-Iginal Chukka. The first pair I ordered was shorter and narrower than my current chukka boots. This pair is even narrower than the first, but they're the same length as my 3141 so they fit my narrow feet ok. Can't imagine someone with a wider foot wearing this...- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Anyone else experience size inconsistencies within the same model / size? I have the 3141 chukka, which I really like, and thought it would be good to have another pair of chukkas to rotate wearing. I ordered a pair of 3140, same size. When I tried them on, they just didn't seem to fit the...- matthewh

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Where are you ordering from, directly from Red Wing? Also, curious to get your thoughts on the comfort level of these. These new sleeker designs look nice but the sole is so thin, doesn't look like there's much room for cushioning under the footbed.- matthewh

I found this page a while back, which has some good information on caring for Red Wing leathers: https://www.ropedye.com/2012/11/rwcare/ I like how the writer goes into specifics for the different types of leathers. Here's some of the quotes for roughout leathers: "The second group of leathers...- matthewh

Looks like they just hit the US. I've seen news for these for a while and Red Wing Amsterdam http://www.redwingamsterdam.com/ has been posting photos of them for several weeks. I'm curious to see if they catch on. I personally don't really like the stacked heel designs. The Short Engineer looks...- matthewh

What would you wear to go adventuring in the Scottish Highlands?
I've been to Europe twice. Once I spent time in southern England and another trip to France and surrounding countries. My first trip I only had a leather jacket and I was miserable. The climate was so damp and the leather was never comfortable. I ended up buying a waxed cloth coat while I was...- matthewh
