Red Wing Men's 8131 Lace-Up

Buy a size down. But these boots are amazing and so beautiful and quality is superb! Would not hesitate recommending

These are fantastic boots: Made to last Fit is very snug Tough boot but very comfortable Will shape to feet in time Get a whole size down! I’m a 9; got an 8 and fits perfectly! Buy a good non synthetic leather balsam and these will last years! Sole can be replaced! Only negative: these were delivered by Hermes and it was a nightmare! Just kept getting delivery notes saying ‘we missed you’ but I was at home all day!! Finally emailed the seller and they must have told them off as the 3rd time they actually turned up.

If you have the money to invest a good pair if boots, I suggest these, after you have broken them in they are a great boot to wear daily. I will purchase in a few different styles & colours in the future.

Awesome boots. Great price

Came up a little large but kept them anyway. A bit hard at first but have now softened a bit.

Got a pair so knew what size to order.

my son loves these boots and he said they are really comfortable

I bought the Redwing 875 and they were terrible. They basically fell apart after 12 months. They were so bad I believe they could've been fake.

Great boots. Usual Red Wing sizing for me. I wear 8.5D Iron Rangers and Beckmans, and an 8.5D is these Moc-Toes fit great.

Compared with iron ranger, toe box was bigger Leather is soft and Comfortable

Here is the scoop on these Red Wings. First they are 100% Legit, they are not knockoffs. I was worried myself because I didn't notice the logo on the side, after doing some research I discovered that Red Wings do not imprint their logo on the side of some of the newer makes. Size wise I read a bunch of mixed information. I ordered 1 full size down originally but I had to send them back for only a 1/2 size down. So make sure you order 1/2 size smaller than your normal sneaker size. To give you more context, I wear size 9 in Nike tennis shoes, so 8.5 Red Wings worked perfect. Okay here is the most important part, the break-in period (I can only speak to the "Charcoal Rough and Tough" model I purchased)... the leather on these boots is quality thick leather. It is no joke and breaking them in is no joke either! I'm used to wearing soft leather Frye and Kenneth Cole boots that aren't necessarily built for work... so breaking in these Red Wings was hell, I'm not going to lie to anyone. Every forum you read online you will discover this is almost a given with Red Wings, you earn them. For me the piping at the top of the boot was digging into my ankle bad until they finally broke-in. Here are a couple tips to help others. If you have problems with the piping digging into your ankle like I did, then for the first two weeks leave the top two eyelets of the boot unlaced. Once they're broke-in you can lace them all the way up with no issues at all. This is a big recommendation here. I used "Sofsole Leather Lube" (you can find it here on Amazon) on my boots to soften the leather. This helped the most, and also add protection to the boots in the process. NOTE: It did darken the leather though, the gray turned almost black (which is what I kinda wanted anyways), I attached a picture of them after I lubed them. Just massage the lube into the boots really well and let them sit over night, the next day wipe off any excess and brush them up. It took me wearing them as my main boot for about 2-3 weeks to break them in. BUT, once they're broke-in you have the best boot you could ever want... they take the shape of your foot and feel great. Hope this helps others.

great.
