"On this particular offering from Amazon, there appears to be multiple different Red Wing boots depending on which color you click on. The ones I got were style #8146, which are the moc toe version with the Briar oil slick leather. I have previously and currently own numerous pair of 6" and 8" lace up boots from Red Wing, Alden, and Allen Edmonds, all of which are made in America (at least for the Red Wing Heritage line). The latter two tend to be more expensive and for this higher expense you get a better quality leather and IMO a little better fit. However, I have always liked Red Wing boots, and while I have had problems with their foreign made products, the Heritage line is as good as Red Wings ever have been. The construction of this boot includes Goodyear welt, Vibram lug sole, cork midsole, nickle riveted eyelets, and a steel shank, all of which are what you want in a good work boot. If you need at good boot for 8 hours + on your feet wear, do not compromise on any of these features. Just a note on the Vibram sole, I had a pair of Red Wings that I wore regularly for 10 years and it took that long for the Vibram lugs to wear down to the rest of the sole. The 8146 does not have speed lacers, which I don't particularly like for 6" boots. As far as sizing and break-in goes, I recommend you have your foot measured or do some research online regarding measuring them yourself rather than going with your size in some other footwear. For an unlined work boot, I will always wear thick wool socks and with such I find these boots are very much true to size. I've owned other Red Wing boots made on the same last and I knew what to expect. For best results, visit a Red Wing store and have yourself properly fitted. I suspect some of the complaints with comfort others have experienced are due to improper fittings. You can also expect the boot to feel different after break-in as your feet settle into the cork midsole. I recommend going with your measured size initially, then sizing up or down as needed to get the right fit rather than relying on what someone else did, who may or may not have been every properly sized and/or may have a very different foot shape. The reason the 23 last has been used by Red Wing for decades is because it fits most people well. I also recommend that when you are getting measured or are trying these on, wear the type of socks you intend on wearing with them. Personally for work boots I go with a thick good quality wool blend that has a high wool content. Anything else and you're inviting blisters and poor comfort. Always wash wool socks inside out in cold water and hang them to dry."

"Purchased this boot several months ago, and I get many compliments on them! I manage to dress them up and can wear them casually with jeans and a t-shirt. I also replaced the laces with a wax brown that is similar to the color of the boot to give them a classy feel, i have even wore them with a blazer and tie! They hold up well, the stitching is impeccable and the waterproofing is well done. I had actually did some power washing in them and they managed to resist any water damage as well as any significant aging. Water did get into the boots, however,so I don't recommend any heavy duty work loads unless you plan on doing a bit more water proofing with a wax. The boots were caked in dirt and grime and were soaked to the sole. I immediately took the right steps in reviving them by drying them off immediately, using a horse hair brush to remove any and all debris, and then following up with a leather conditioner. I also wiped out the inside of the boot to the best of my ability, and placed a decent amount of newspaper inside and left it overnight. They looked like new the next couple days! These guys can take a beating. The pair I received seemed to be slightly mismatched, but for the price I got it for, it was well worth it. The left boot was a little wider at the sole and toe box, and the tongue was made of a different grade of leather, softer than the right. This was alright due to its ability to conform to the top of my ankle much better, but was a bit unnerving at first since the right pair was stiff, and would apply pressure to the skin if tied tightly. If I had another choice, I would size down a half size, and I normally wear a 10.5 in sneakers,but that is only because the boot has conformed to foot,and stretched. Despite it being slightly narrow, the effect that occurs from your foot stretching out the leather gives it a very nice look, and makes it fit nicely. The leather is topnotch,and continues to keep its nice brown luster despite my constant wear. I wear them almost everyday. It is my go to footwear, and I will be purchasing another pair of red wings in the future."
