Red Wing Shoes Heritage Classic Moc Men Boot

I put vegtan leather insoles in them & they are awesome!

The intent of my review is to make buyers aware of what to look for if and when you order these Red Wing Heritage boots from Amazon. I'm normally a size 12 or 12.5 in normal shoes and also have a removable orthotic footbed that in place in all my shoes due to my high arches. I ordered 2 pairs of Red Wing Heritage Moc 6" boots in Briar Oil Slick from Amazon in size 11.5 and 11. I recently purchased a pair of the Red Wing Heritage chukkas boots in briar oil slick and the 11.5 fit me perfectly. I liked the chukkas so much I ordered the 6" boots. When I purchased the chukkas, the person at the Red Wing Store showed me on the tag on the inside of the tongue of the boot that my chukkas were made on "10/15" - essentially since I purchased the chukkas in December, they were made 2 months prior. The 6" moc boots in size 11.5 arrived first from Amazon and when I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was how the boots looked "broken in" and the leather was faded, dried out, and old. The first thing I did was look at the label on the tongue and noticed the date was 2011 - these boots were almost 5 years old! Yet Amazon was selling them as "new." I tried the boots on, just to get a gauge on size and found the 11.5s to be too big. So I returned them. However, if they had fit, I would have certainly complained to Amazon for trying to sell me a new pair of expensive Red Wing boots that were obviously old and not up to any sort of Red Wing standards. Buyers - be aware of this issue and make sure you check the date the boot was made on the tag inside the tongue - the date is on the lower, right part of the boot below the model number. It's one thing if the boots are a few years old and still look brand new, but the boots Amazon sent me were definitely sub-par. 2 days later the size 11 6" moc boots arrived and I wasn't sure what to expect. I opened the box and immediately inspected the boots for quality and the date they were made. Fortunately, the date was "10/15" so I was sure these were recently made. While the boots looked as if someone had tried them on before, I could tell the size 11 was perfect for me and the boot fit great. The color of the briar oil slick along with the crepe sole looks amazing. I've been wearing them around the house for about a week now and I hate having to take them off. Every time I wear them they get more and more comfortable. I think of them as more comfortable than my favorite pair of running shoes, but the Red Wings provide far more support. I am very happy with the 6" moc boot and actually find them easier to break in than my chukkas. Once you decide on a color(s), and once you find your fit, I think just like my you will be sold on Red Wing Heritage boots. I am using these for wearing in the office, out in the field (construction), and for style around town.

Very high quality boots for the price. This pair was an addition to some other Redwings so, not a new experience. Sizing: Once you’ve been sized, I’ve found that this moc toe boot, the blacksmith or iron ranger seem about the same for me. Break usually takes me a week of wearing around the house. Some folks wear double socks to speed that up but you could end up with boots that are too loose. If you wear Allen Edmonds and have a standard width foot, size down one half size. There are several videos and reviews on sizing. If at all possible, get sized each time at the store or you could be gambling. My Redwing 3141 work chukka fit better at actual size and did not get sized down. They were not too long and did not require much of any break in. Comfort: All of these boots are like slippers once you break them in fully. Amazing transformation. Proper sizing and break in is worth it. Cleaning: Once you are used to sizing, familiar with how to clean them, Redwings will last you a long time. Review some of the cleaning videos online. Be aware the wrong oil or conditioner will darken the leather. Bicks 4 is a good non darkening conditioner. Although some patina or darkening will still occur. Especially on the copper rough and tough.

These are great boots. They have a Goodyear welt that allows the sole to be replace when needed, making it a very long lived shoe if the leather is oiled and treated well. The flat wedge model is great for standing for a period of time. SIZING: They run large. My shoe size usually is around 8.5 to 9. Running shoes are typically larger -- up to 9.5. I purchased this boot in an 8.5 and it's too large. I've got very wide feet, and could barely get these on, but after the break in, they are much too big for me. BREAK- IN: It took a while for the heels to break in enough to be comfortable. The leather is of good quality and stiff, so an extended break in isn't unusual. Part of the issue was most likely due to the shoe being too large. As a side note, I would suggest getting a longer shoestring as the ones that come with the shoes provide just enough length for the knot. Redwing shoes are really fantastic, and this shoe looks good and performs well. I've used them to survey a construction site as well as casually wear about town. Just make sure you size them correctly, have patience for the break in, and oil when needed, and they should stick around for many years.

The boot is built with quality in materials and manufacturing. The pair that I got did not have an insole which isn't a big deal since I had a more orthopedic set I was going to install anyway. The build date is nearly 2 years old as well. These were obviously opened before. I wasn't going to go through the hassle of returning them since they fit fine and are breaking in quickly. Buyers should also be aware that the entry into the boot is somewhat small and since there is no loop on the rear to pull the boot you will probably need to use a longer shoehorn. These boots from Amazon are similarly priced to the ones directly available from Red Wing. I would strongly recommend Amazon discount these as they are not brand new virgin boots. I'm hoping to get similar wear out of these that I have gotten from other Red Wing boots over the years. If I do, the price paid won't be as much a consideration as if they were brand new virgin boots.

Unlike the Iron Rangers, these actually feel like you could do some real work in them. They also look great with any casual outfit; however, remember that they're boots. Lace them up tight and please don't wear them with skinny jeans. I normally don't believe in sizing down too much from your Brannock measurement, since boots are meant to have toe room and be worn with thick socks (looking at you, skinny jeans wearing hipsters). However, these have a massive toe box and are long and narrow. I am an 11D on the Brannock but a 10D fits snugly yet comfortably with no heel slip. A 10.5D was just a little too long for my foot, and would break in a little loose. The lack of speed hooks is irritating; these boots require a total unlacing in order to squeeze your feet in. They'll loosen up, but for now they're time consuming to put on (with both a 10.5 and 10, similar difficulty). However, Red Wing will install speed hooks FOR FREE at any Red Wing store. I plan to do this in the future. In conclusion, these are terrific boots that are meant to be worn like boots. They'll last a long time and look great doing it. Pick up a pair and some quality boot socks and you're good to go.

I had been wanting a pair of Red Wings for awhile, finally pulled the string on a pair of oro Legacy moc toes and boy am I happy with the decision! You can tell these are built to last, the quality is amazing. They definitely run big as everyone says, I usually take an 11 1/2 or 12 in shoes. I got 11’s because they were for some reason a lot cheaper than the other sizes. They fit good, no slippage, I do have a good amount of space in the toe, could have maybe gone a half more size down and been okay. I am in the process of breaking them in and it hasn’t been as bad as people say, they’re a super comfortable boot, can’t wait to get them fully broken in! I am super happy with my buying experience with Amazon, the boots came super quick! I was a little concerned, because a few reviews said they received boots that were made like 5 years ago, the boots I received were 4 months old when I got them. I couldn’t be happier with these boots! If you have been on the fence about getting a pair of these, you should definitely go for it, they’re worth it!

Muy buenas botas, de una excelente calidad, debería haber más disponibilidad

Habe die Schuhe vor einigen Tagen erhalten. Bereits beim auspacken war klar, dass ich die nicht mehr her gebe! Optik und Haptik sind sensationell! Zur Verabreitung kann ich noch nichts sagen, bin aber davon überzeugt, dass die mich viele Jahre begleiten werden! Die Schuhe sind sehr bequem und die Sohle überraschend weich. Ich habe in den meisten Schuhen 47-48. Diese habe ich in 48 und Sie passen sehr gut. Dicke Socken kann ich auch noch ohne Probleme darin anziehen. Der Schuh fällt daher eher größer aus, jedoch sollte man den größeren nehmen, wenn man zwischen zwei Größen entscheiden muss, da bei Red Wing die Breite vor der Länge geht. Die Schuhe sind eher schmal geschnitten und machen sogar bei meinen recht breiten einen schlanken Fuß . Die Größenangaben in cm auf der RW-Internetseite stimmen mit den tatsächlichen Größen überein und können daher auf jedenfall als Referenz bei der Schuhgrößenwahl verwendet werden! ------------- 06.10.13 - Nachtrag Schuhe sind eingelaufen und fühlen sich fantastisch an! Ein "Bläschen" habe ich mir gelaufen, aber das ist nicht der Rede wert zu dem, was man sonst so liest! Wenn ich den Schuh mit normalen dünnen Socken trage, kommt beim anziehen manchmal das Gefühl auf, dass er jetzt etwas zu groß sein könnte - dem ist aber nicht so!!! Er sitzt perfekt und ich bleibe bei meiner Aussage, dass wenn man zwischen zwei Größen liegt, der größere genommen werden sollte + dass die Breite des Fußes vor der Länge geht. Ach so, geliefert wurde nicht der 8131 sondern der Klassiker 875 Moc Toe. War mir recht und habe ihn daher behalten ;-)

me ha gustado todo,son perfectas. muy bueno el material ,tal como en la foto. fenomenal.la talla pedi el 41.5 e me bastava el 41,pero estan bien.llegaron dentro de los dias que estaba estipulado. GRACIAS

bei den RedWing habe ich MocToe habe ich 42,5 dies ist das 2 paar deswegen passen Sie Perfekt. CHELSEA hatte ich bestellt diese waren sehr viel zu klein und zu schmal . Ich kann bei RedWing nur empfehlen sie im Laden zu probieren ggf. zu kaufen und das 2 - 3 paar online zukaufen bei den Moc Toe hat das super geklappt bei den CHELSEA oder IRON RANGER leider nicht . Bei dem Lieferant wo ich sie bestellt habe war die Rückabwicklung völlig Problemlos.

Red Wings sind super Schuhe, die überdurchschnittlich lange halten können bei richtiger Pflege. Qualität, Leder und Verarbeitung top.
