Thank you guys! That was what I was thinking too. May I also know how the boot should fit? Cause I was wearing very thin socks, and although I know the boot is meant to be worn with thick socks, I'm going to be wearing them almost entirely in Singapore! Meaning, thin socks.

If you don't wish to get blisters, i would suggest wearing thicker socks. RW socks are quite thick. Uniqlo is good too

Just wondering how you guys take care of your red wings? I just got Red Wings Mink Oil to protect my red wings. What other products should i get? And just wondering what kind of leather cleaner can take away jeans stains?

Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP is the widely acclaimed leather product for your leather boots. It nourishes and waterproofs the leather using all natural ingredients.

Get a shoe tree, preferably cedar kind. And a horse hair cleaning brush

how much did you get your brush for?

Think about $15. There's a bigger brush which cost about $25.
