Get the pair of red wing that fits well on you with sock, no such thing of buying reduced size so that the shoes will break into u. When the shoes seasoned, it will fit nicely on u.

For those went through NS, it is the same concept on your army boot, do u upsize to charge up the hill better? ;) u decide..

As for width sizes, red wing(SG) brought in D size only, I supposed due to skinny jean skinny boot? :s13:

U can try to order and sit tight if D don't fit well on u, gd shoes are worth waiting. Rem, don't buy if tight on side, your leg will suffered in long run, it should have min gap at side with sock worn.

Nowadays, hard to find size E & EE, managed to find mine by chance, I'm wearing size 9E.

ur foot size went measured is?

wearing red wings with skinnies is fine right?
If the end result goes well on you, why not? :D

i was so damn confused..............
then lastly i saw the discount on shoebuy.com has been removed!!!! WTF!!!

Looks like shoebuy seldom give 20% discount... so i faster wack...
I just got myself 10 EE.

I was like thinking... i seldom wear jeans during weekend... and i getting company to get me another red wing which is 405... but it's china made... plus it has safety feature... so can buy... 8138 do not have safety feature... so lan lan... i need to buy myself...

then i think n think... WTF... shoebuy 20% is removed... ahhhhhhh
then faster wack before i really regret...

did i make a stupid move?
* note: I seldom wear jean on the weekend... normally i wear bem n slipper 1...
even go orchard also the same...

maybe occasion then will wear jeans, which i thought this will be a good time to wear the boots... also i can wear to work, but i am getting another red wing for work only...
Decision is on you, I had quite a no. of shoes, which I matched them on different occasions.

If I got a chance to wear to work, I will do that.

I believed in the quote below, maybe it will ans ur move?

“When you see shoes you love, in your size: BUY THEM. No, seriously: BUY THEM.”

ur foot size went measured is?
I went to red wing @ Suntec for measurement, my size came close to 9E.

While finding my comfort sizes, I went for 9D which I do fit in but the side will be in little discomfort, moreover I was wearing thin office wear sock while trying it on. Hence, I went for 9E, 9EE is too wide for me.

3 hours is still okay.

my first wear was for 7 hours, of non-stop walking.

Blisters all over my toes. due to the leather constantly hitting it.
abrasions near my heel. even though i wore long socks.
