I had a lot of heel slippage on my Beckman's. However, with a few weeks of wear it has almost completely gone away

They look awesome but Red Wing Gentleman's Travelers is my personal favourite.

Really dig those 8188s but I'm worried about my narrow feet leading to some awful heel slip with those. I've been wearing a pair of 2268 engineers and through the rest of the boot fits perfect, I just can't get the heel ship to go fully away

Yeah I decided a little heel slip may be ok. I will have to see how they break in.

how do people size on the 3141 chukka?

i wear a US 12 in most sneakers, a US 11 in clarks and ordered these in a US 11. i was worried they would be too small, but if anything they seem too loose.

i can return them fairly easily, but ordering a 10.5 and trying them on (and sending them back if they were too small) would be an expensive headache due to living in australia (no one stocks the chukka here).

I'm a US 12 in some Redwing, but some designs are just that bit too small. With the engineered boots I bought a pair of these and they solved the problem perfectly: http://www.redwingheritage.com/us/USD/product/accessories/insole-comfort-force-96318#productDetails1

thanks for the heads up. out of interest, what do you wear in sneakers or clarks (if you own any)? i'm still leaning towards ordering a 10.5, but it'll be a $75ish gamble...

i had a pair of 875s 5+ years ago but sadly can't remember what size they were.

UK12 / US 12.5 Adidas
UK11 / US12 Vans

Clarks Desert boots UK 11 (not sure what US equivalent is)

RW Iron rangers - US12 (but they're a bit snug in the forefoot for me)
RW Engineer boots - US13 with inserts
RW Mocs - not sure which models off hand, both US 12, one pair fits like a glove, the others are a bit narrow in the forefoot.

Not sure how useful this is - I've got feet like flippers (narrow heel, wide up front).

haha, sounds like i have the exact same shaped feet but i describe them as inverted triangles!

very useful. it's interesting that also you wear a 12 in vans (which i also wear), but a 12 in RW - although i'm finding the chukkas in a 11 too big?! if anything the consensus seems to be that the chukka fits small.

 

[perthboy]

I'm contemplating buying the RW Foreman or the Rancourt Blake chukka. Which would you recommend?

Are there any other soft sole chukkas around $300 that I should consider?

I need something comfortable for weekends and travel. Thanks.

new Pecos

Just got some Pecos boots myself- great boots. My one issue is that the vamp is a bit wide- I have a lot of room where it hits at my upper ankle/lower calf. Does anyone know whether it is possible to have the vamp narrowed on these?

Hello ! I think there is a problem with sole of my postman. I wear them for 4 months only and it seems that the front of the sole (mainly) wears out quickly. What do you think ?

Right now I have some heel slippage with my Beckmans, but I've only worn them a few times. A size smaller was crushing the front of my foot. Maybe the last doesn't work for me that well. I was starting to regret the purchase. Maybe if I'm lucky it will go away just like yours. I mean the heel slippage doesn't bother me as much as the first wear nor does it cause blisters or anything, but it would still be nice if it didn't have it

Just got these Iron Rangers for under $200 on Hautlook. It's a discontinued Brooks Brothers model. A lot of Red Wing models under $200 for anyone that's interesting. I'll post the link at the bottom.
