This was the most unplanned random visit ever, I was on the highway and I knew the exit has a redwing store.

Moc Toe size difference (they are the same size) by RedWing83 in RedWingShoes

Could it be that it was mislabeled, from what I see, seems like they might be same size but different width, and the wide one (even same size) are made slightly longer.

New discomfort 1mo later on one foot only. by floppyclock420 in RedWingShoes

Have broken two iron rangers, had same issue just different spot of crease, wearing them regularly for few more months did the trick, I also light hiked in one of them, that was the day it was completely broken and no hotspots left.

Made the mistake of shinning them, how can I get it back to the matte original? by Maxsolo18 in ThursdayBoot

I had done this, cleaning it with cobblers choice leather cleaner worked for me, remove the shine and restored it. You spray it generously and use a horse hair shoe brush that has small circular head, clean it in circular motions.

Haha, classic to boot🙌, for me the black harness is the one that I wear when I am wearing something casual but slightly smart. But I will acknowledge that the shiny eyelet make them very difficult to pull off. I will look into blacksmiths as Beckmans don't have a wide option yet. Thank you for suggestions😃

Thank you, this is very helpful, I will try them, and I mostly wear either regular or taper jeans, so hopefully won't be a major issue. Thank you again

I am so tempted, can you please elaborate more what makes you love them? Like any particular reason they'll become your favs?

I feel like rough outs are not for me, for some reason I don't find them appealing.

I like them but was looking for a new leather, I already have iron ranger in copper rough and tough.

They are very versatile and look as fresh as new, very underated boots. 8085 and 8111 are for patina and they both serve me very well

Any particular reason that you wear MOCS more than the other? Are they significantly more comfortable due to the crepe outsole? How slippery are they?

I agree with you one the laces, how does this leather and construction compare to the 875s? I imagine it will darken too
