im wearing a E one for 875.. i dun see any big difference. at least for me..

i was telling the man.. wah later wear liao like Ronald Mac bo.

He reply.. "u rather be a 'Ronald mac', get a good fit, good shoes and lesser problem or get a bad fit shoe and cause u pain n discomfort".. and he say RW wont look anything close like that clown..

hahaha

Precisely, to spend such $ on reasonable pair, good fit is most important point of all.

Spot on. Really dun see the need to downsize for Red Wing. But to each his own i guess.

Yes, to each own but important point is good fit with comfort.

Of course, it will break into you, you should feel more comfortable wearing it. My friend, who purchased it, downsized it. he complained the leather expanded too much by bits and turned out abit loose.

No idea it will relates to your case.

I didnt downsize at all for my RW

 

[Beta_Tester]

best is let the RW guys.girls test your shoes size if u ever wanna buy online too..

Hes quite nice to test and then he say I can buy online using what he measure next time. He even helped my friend measure when my friend say he maybe go elsewhere buy.

i also tot wanna downsize etc or estimate but sh.it it.. i get one locally then go buy online next time. Go shop measure then buy.

Any good/popular insole to recommend for RWS? Price and where to get?

 

[jonleelk]

My feet is an US 10E. For Chukka, they only have size D. Does this mean I need to get a US 10.5D, especially when I will be wearing thick socks with the CHukka.?

e-mart, free and good. but if you downsized then might be too tight then.

What are the reason for putting insole?

insoles provide cushioning purpose and even keep the boots dry and odour-free with the anti-odour footbed...

oso some get the thicker ones if they find the boots a lil too big for them... thats y its okie to get a pair that is half size big...

i haven apply anything till now... got a few scuffs already. not sure if u apply already can prevent these scuffs?

 

[reverseBungee]

i have one leather boots, not redwing though, i apply mink oil twice and the boots totally changed its color. a bit regret. From light brown to dark tan brown... so you can apply mink oil but be prepared for color change.

 

[voltshin]

mink oil will darken the leather..
try using obenauf's lp... doesnt really darken the leather...
