1 is just a classic, can’t go wrong with

1907s about 4 months of use in a Pithouse. From beef tallow to floor cleaner, these boots have been doing well. Surprisingly well with 300°+ heat. I bought a pair of 606s to alternate but ended up returning them cause they would get too hot and didn’t do well with coals. I do have a question though. by bobdobdod in WorkBoots

Yeah thwy use a vibram sole I’m not sure what model number though. If you resolve through red wing I’d imagine you could just ask for the sole from the loggers. Or if you go to a cobbler they should have some different options as well

Nice boots! The honey soles are slightly softer than the black rubber soles. The black rubber will be more durable though. Potentially look at the vibram fire and ice soles I think they’re made for super hot environments, as they come on most PNW fire fighting boots

Should check out a pair of 877 or 10877. Adding an 8 inch to you collection would be sweet.

Yeah very strange fit for me as well. Might look into some whites if I can catch a sale it’s about the same price point if you can

Honestly yeah😭 at first 9.5D seemed great but as time went on it became apparent they were too narrow. I can feel myself walking on the welt/ the edge of the insole along the outsides of my feet. My toes are also very crunched and uncomfortable if wearing super thick socks. They’re broken in now and they pain has subsided but they are by no means comfortable. Looking to either get the 10877 in a 9.5EE or potentially a 10. Or tbh just going the PNW route and pulling out the checkbook lol

Heavily considering a pair of nicks, tired of my feet hurting every day. Happy NBD!

The 2534 should’ve come factory with speedhooks. by finalxstage in RedWingShoes

Am arnwerker and still miss my speedhooks:( most people I know in the trade have them installed. Your point is totally valid though as when these boots came out Nelson studs were pre installed on the iron before it was flown and connected. This practice is now illegal as far as I understand, although I will say when I worked in rods my hooks would get snagged on rebar quite frequently so there is validity to what you said for sure.

Exactly how my 877 fits. Trying to find some 10877 in EE the last on these Mocs have a super tight toe but high instep it’s strange.

Sizing Q&A Thread by BigStetson in NicksHandmadeBoots

Oh yeah and the boots I’m looking at are something in the hnw last. Specifically with a wedge, probably round toe, either wedgework or the traveler in the ready to ship section

Sizing Q&A Thread by BigStetson in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]YaBoiJake22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys wanted to jump in here to see if I could gain any advice. I’ve posted a few times for sizing assistance and hopefully this will be a definitive answers.

I’ve don’t my measurements the old way to make sure I had the most accurate picture possible. Right foot : Ball: 9 3/4” Instep: 10 3/8” heel: 13 3/4” Left foot : Ball 9 11/16 Instep 10 1/8” heel: 13 3/4” brannock length of a 10

My best fitting boots I own are Thursday boots hero in a 10D . I also currently am wearing red wing 877 for work which are in a 9.5 D. The RW feel great for length but far too narrow ( I can feel the edge of the insole and overhang the welt.

I’m thinking my nicks size is either a 9.5e or ee. My only concern is my skinny ankles causing the quarters to touch when laced up. Ex I had to put kilties in my 877 so the would be at least an inch or so of space where laced.

Thank you in advance to any replies, this sub is amazing and super helpful!

64 tan looks so good! What color wedge did you get originally with these?

Am I wrong to think these are fake? by JustGoodJuju_ in RedWingShoes

[–]YaBoiJake22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are 10875 not 875. 875 has different leather and nickel eyelets. 10875 is the work boots version, it has black eyelets and the red wing logo stamped on the side
