Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

[ElBron21]

Hi

I need some casual shoes/boots for the summer spring season and i know the Red Wing quality is amazing in my experience.

Do they have any casual spring/summer shoes? What about the chukkas?

The chukkas look great. I don't own a pair but I see them occasionally and they look good and comfy.
Try looking at anything with the Copper Yuma leather or the Muleskinner leather. I think the colors of those 2 leathers is spring/summer looking
Almost all of the heritage line are not insulated so they breathe just fine in the spring/summer if that's a concern at all

I wear my 8113s,out to Royals games every summer all summer and they don't bother me

Thanks man! Yeah,i have pair of iron rangers and im aware of the perils of the cork sole Im after a pair of the hawthorne muleskinners which are available in europe, but i guess i just need to suck it up and just buy them

If you use Bing.com's image search there are a few pics of the 2963s, and in the review section of the 2963's on the red wing site there is a pic or 2 someone posted but they are brand new.
I dont know if you own any with the nitrile cork outsole, but if you live in an area with any sort of icy or snow conditions they are **** in that. I found myself slipping/falling a lot.
But all other weather the outsoles are great. Just something to consider.
Also, these blacksmiths in charcoal are bitchin https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shoes/boots/PRDOVR~B0812/B0812.jsp

Just picked up the Charcoals 8116 to go with my 8115. Really love the IRs and the way to fit on me. Here's to breaking the second one in!

Those boots are so sharp
Do you usually wear your jeans with that giant cuff, Or you just did that to show them off better in the pictures?

That appears to be quite deliberate.

I pulled up the cuff to show more of the boot. I like double cuffs though as I usually don't hem my jeans

Has anyone ever gone TTS (Brannock) on the Beckman's?

Lots of 'half size down' advise on pretty much every review I read on the Beckman's, but most don't specify if that's from sneaker size or Brannock. Also, lots of people seem to like a snug fit (ie end of big toe touching the front of the boot) - which in my book = too small shoe.

I'm an 8D on my left and almost an 8E on my right foot. I'm kind of worried going a 7.5D on a Beckman would be too tight on the right. I live overseas, and returns would be a real hassle.

Yes. I am in your boat - my left foot is easily an E width, while my right a D. With this in mind, it depends on how you plan on wearing these. I'd say MINIMUM 8D - if its too roomy, add an insole and your good. DO NOT undersize boots if you've got a wide forefoot. Those who religiously "size down" probably could fit in b-width shoes just fine.

I'm 8E on the Brannock and went with 8D in the Beckman. While I didn't size myself in a 7.5 or an "E" I like the way the 8D fit since my issue tends to be that my pinky toe rubs the side, so that coupled with my higher in-step, snug fitting shoes aren't a thing for me. The Beckmans give me the pinky toe room I need which works well with my preference and need to not let the big toes touch the top of the boot so this gives me a little bit of room to wear something other than thin socks.

Hey guys,

I want to buy some Red Wing boots but this is the first time I'm going to buy a boot with this style. So, in a store around here they have these two models:

I like the second one a bit more than the first one. They are discounted so the price is nice. But problem is the size. I usually wear an 8.5 UK, the first one is available in that size, the second one only in 9 UK, do you think the 8 UK of the second one would fit?

Thanks!

 

[ElBron21]

Damn. If anyone is interested in buying the Ice Cutters, and is a size 8, Haberdash has them for $300 OFF!
Wish I had seen this before I got mine. My red wing store now gives me %20 off any boot I buy now, and I still paid almost $300 for mine...

Its such a great winter boot. I highly recommend them.

Check the last of the boots. I believe them two boots are the same last therefore they should fit the exact same

Thanks, I will. I'm starting to like the first ones a bit more.

I have a pair of the first ones...Personally I would go with those

 

[goldenbear]

I have a pair of the cigar beckmans (the second one). I love them. I frequently get compliments on them. I have two pairs of beckmans (cigar and black) and I may even purchase a third if Nordstrom has a different color on sale this Summer. I have three pairs of Redwings. You can't go wrong with either.

Does anyone know if redwing still offers the free replacement laces somewhere on their website?
