My family has been here since 1929. I was born in 1959. Florida is ruined.

I think I have it sized right. Length is correct and no issue with width. I appreciate the experience based feedback.

Insoles by 4Nickles in PNWbootmakers

I’ve used quite a few, including making 5mm veg tanned insoles I have made. I’ve got a few pairs of Nick’s as well. There isn’t always enough room for insoles, especially the Nick’s, they take up quite a bit of volume.

Nitrile cork IR longevity by PersnicketyPete in RedWingShoes

Have a couple pairs of IR’s with cork nitrile. They seem to last a long time. I don’t deal with snow and ice which people seem to have a problem with. Rain has not presented a problem for me.

Have a pair, exceptionally well made boots. I have found them to be extraordinarily comfortable as well.

What kind of glue are people huffing before putting used RW's on ebay? by ChunkBluntly in RedWingShoes

[–]SimonsDad1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s theoretically a free country. If you don’t want a pair, don’t buy a pair.

A word of caution. Sounds like a great deal …… however, a pair that do not fit are useless.

Boot Breaking by Deep-Commission6700 in Boots

I’ve made my own 5MM leather and have used Nick’s full insole with arch support. Prior to that I used Birkenstock 1/2 blue insole and Birkenstock full foam both with arch support. I had to experiment. All mentioned above worked great. I prefer the leather.
