Not for fat guys? need suggestions. I just received size 10 ir copper rough and tough boots. the problem i see is, they sre too narrow for me. my legs look like chicken legs and gives lollipop effect. Seems like these are not for fat guys. thinking to sell them for cheaper price to someone. Any styling suggestions or people with same issue?
Factory seconds from Sierra. They look great and don't even have the little hole punched through.
Excited to break them in!
Have had these since November 2025 and they have become one of my favorite boots. Loved the original color but had to wax them because I hated the water-stain magnets they were at first. I went up half a size larger than my usual redwings size and at first the felt a bit loose but somehow got snugger as they broke in.
1 lug resole and 8 years of 5 days a week manual labor. I would say they were worth the investment. See a lot of posts about the break in. But lemme tell you. Take care of them, get through the tough times and this boot will be one of the most comfortable boots you’ve ever worn.
I just bought these Red Wing Boots. Look like a Clear Finish is applied to the leather slight sheen. What polish or conditioner do you use? Thank You
Hi everyone
After about 2 months of wearing my iron rangers I started having strong pain in my right big toe, and sometimes even in the ball of the foot. Only in the right foot.
At first it was really bad and then after some time it kind of settled on medium pain and doesn’t get any better.
It feels like when pushing myself forward with the right leg it stretches my big toe, or bends it in a wrong way which causes the pain, but I’m not sure.
Finally found some Beckman Klondikes but they are really snug at the mid foot/arches. Tried size 8.5 and it was very tight all around...I snagged a size 9 just in case, but yea, toe box feels fine but mid foot its super snug. Can't tell if this just needs to break in and unfortunately there's not a 9.5 I can try. My IRs are 8.5 and feel great. Anyone with Beckman's have any insight?
I sent my boots in 2 weeks ago for a stitching repair, when should I be expecting them to be ready?
I’m using a translator here, so sorry if some of this sounds a little awkward. I’m looking to buy my first pair of Iron 8111s and would really appreciate some sizing advice.
My foot length is 27.2 cm, width is 10.9 cm, and I have a high instep. I tried them on in-store, and the 10D fits really well overall, but my pinky toe feels a bit squeezed. The 10.5D feels slightly loose, with a little heel slip. Unfortunately, none of the nearby stores carry EE widths for me to try on, so I’d have to order online.
From what I’ve read, a lot of people say 10.5D = 10E = 9.5EE. I’m trying to get the comfort of the 10.5D, but I don’t want the boots to feel too long. I’m also planning to add an insole later.……What do you think would be the better choice for me — 9.5EE or 10EE?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
I have been wearing these for 6 weeks. I am a plumber and work on my knees occasionally and wore through the rubber toe cap they put on in 4 weeks, and was through the leather in about another week. They hurt my feet a lot. I paid a bunch of extra money for the custom orthotics, and those make my feet hurt even worse.
If you are in the trades and going to be working on your knees I would go for something that has a lot more rugged toe cap.
Recently picked up a pair of Moc Toe 8138s in a UK size 8.5 (pic.1) and after roughly 5 days of wear I started to suspect I should have bought another half-size down.
However, after ordering a pair in size UK 8 (pic.2) to make a comparison I noticed that the imprinted Red Wing Shoes logo on the newer pair appears significantly more faded than the worn-in pair.
The original size 8.5 pair (pic.1) came from the London Red Wing store, while the pair in pic.2 were purchased from an Irish online retailer.
Is it common for the insole appearance to vary this much between pairs of boots?
