overseas. only size 40 and only for beckman black cherry.

no idea man. not a huge RW fan, i dont own any either. just helping to get. and as mentioned i will pass the invoice to the buyer.

just in case u missed the saga of a seller promising of real rw boots from oversea... u may wanna check it out.

the seller though it was real too then when stocks came, everything was exposed. the seller ended up paying back everyone.

u may wanna be careful if u r thinking of making a quick buck, ur supplier maybe lying to you.

normally pple select red wings by D, E or EE. that's the width size for the boots. i own 7D which is 39, so im guessing your 40 is 7.5, but still need the width size :)

dont worry abt my source man. im not getting from anywhere shady. its an official store clearing the very last size for that series. something like asos where they have alot of other brands too. only that model, in only that colour, and in only that size. once its sold out you want i also cannot get lo~

i think to protect yourself as well, its better u clarify with the store what is the US size number. Usually they are more commonly known by that.
So cant really let potential buyers feel worried, especially after a recent saga

since it's from a store, be it online/brick & mortar...it will be better for him to post the name/link and let the potential buyers make their own decision. This way it will not affect him. that is unless he's looking to make something, then it will be a different scenario.

was actually interested in getting this as a dress shoe for office use if i had not purchase a 8146 which is delivering today :D

I think most online retail stores that sell Red Wing shoes state the sizes in US format.

And also from what meschan had mentioned, it is very important to know the width. Most of them sell D width.

Wrong width could result to wrong size.

Just something to take note. :)

not true. US store state US format. UK store state UK. Euro store state Euro. you need to do more online shopping man ;) anyway dont need to think too deep into it, it also makes sense. the store will state the sizing in which is used in their country for the benefit of their main customer base aka their own country customers.

i dont know abt RW shoes but if not stated = D. then shld be D loh. most people shldnt need the E and EEs anyway unless they have really broad feet.

anyway forget it. forget my offer to help purchase. cause so much commotion. seems like all buyers are skeptical abt it anyway. and i wont be revealing my source either since all so skeptical, go buy from local store bah, else buy it yourself if you find a comfortable online source to get from.

Thin insole just use scholl, kiwi or watsons brand one will do. They are thin enough.
