Red Wing Heritage Classic Lifestyle 6" Moc SKU: #7371513

Why would I pay this much for a pair of work shoes? Part of the reason was that I trust Red Wing shoes, I know their reputation. The other part was curiosity, what would make a pair of shoes that much more expensive? As a UPS package car driver, my shoes get pounded, and I like the fact they can be re-soled. When I first tried on the shoes, I thought I got the wrong size, because they were hard to put on (maybe I have a high instep). Then I thought they make shoe horns for a reason, and maybe this is how work boots are really supposed to fit. I was right, the shoes fit perfectly, and give good support. I'll report back in a year, as to how they are lasting. One more note, the color of the shoe is beautiful, they have a reddish tint. But the white soles looked dorky with my uniform, so I took a permanent black magic marker, and colored the sides black...now they kick! Why did I choose Zappos for the first time, when I like to keep the money local? Zappos is a massive UPS customer, I ordered them Monday, got them delivered to my door Wednesday, no shipping, no sales tax, do the math.

Great boot. Spend the extra money and get Red Wings folks. They're worth it. The leather is so supple, yet strong, unlike some shoes that are comfy at first because they are made of inferior materials. Red Wings do take a long time to break in, but they'll be comfortable long after the the cheaper versions wear out. I wear a 10.5, and I had to return them to get a 10, so be careful. Ask yourself a question, do I need to wear thick wool socks in order for my boots to fit? If yes, you're wrong, go get suede Timbs, leave them untied and call it a day. These have to be snug when you get them so the leather can shape to your foot! If you tie them tight, and your heel still slides up and down with every step, enjoy the blisters or return them - those are your options! I wear wool socks some days and soft cotton on others, either way you should be used to these being snug. Be patient, it's worth it. I tried inserts for more comfort, forget it. I ended up with the factory insoles back in and honestly, they're fine. The 10.5's gave me some of room for insoles, but that didn't solve the heel sliding problem. So man up, and get the right size, bigger is not better. You'll have your golden years to wear orthos! Bottom line, these boots are trusty, yeah that's a great word for these. They pop on like the first baseball glove you worked so hard to break-in...you remember. Not perfect, but just what you need to get the job done.

Aesthetically beautiful and very much worth every penny. Thanks to the reviews, I sized down from a loose 9.5-10.00 to a 9. They may feel a bit snug the first time you around, but once they are broken in after a couple of wears, they become really comfortable.

I pound the concrete at Home Depot and these boots solved my problems. Also wore them on a pheasant hunt. Most excellent.

Wow, what a boot! I received these Red Wings a little under a month ago and have been able to march them through a generous amount of wear. At first, as expected, the leather and footbed was very stiff and a little unfriendly, but much like breaking in a pair of raw denim, they quickly warm up to you as the leather softens and the footbed molds to your feet. Listen to other reviewers when they say these boots are big! I normally wear a 9, but I get a snug fit wearing boot socks in a size 8. These boots are perfect here in the wet Seattle climate; sure to keep your feet dry and warm as the mercury plummets in the coming weeks. The aesthetic appeal of these boots goes without saying, as well as their practical utility. If I had a choice, these shoes would be my first pick in suffering through the circles in Dante's Inferno. If you are interested in picking these boots up, or are on the fence because of the considerably high price, just bite the bullet and regret will be the last thing on your mind once you get comfortable with these boots.

Bought boots have two other work boots from Red Wing and the quality is great. They do take a little time to break in but after that they are great! Only thing I would like is a narrow width for my narrow foot.

Money well spent. Comfortable shoes and made in the USA. Can't forget Zappos excellent service, got the shoe in one day!

Absolutely amazing boots! I just got them today after swapping them for a 1/2 size smaller If you normally wear a 10.5, get a 10, or you'll have to return it These boots look sexier in real life than the pics! Also Zappos is my number 1 place to get clothes/shoes now.

Awesome, everything I had hope for. Well made, comfortable and retro cool. They run a full size big, so be prepared to exchange them for the correct snug fit. No problem with Zappos excellent customer service. Looking forward to many years of wear.

Best boot I have ever put on my feet! Quality construction, rugged leather, and comfortable "no heel" sole. The best part about the boot is that it was made right here in America. I recommend this boot to anyone who is serious about their work or craft. Makes spending those long hours on your feet more tolerable. A true American Classic. Note - the sizing runs a good half size larger than marked. If you wear a 9 get a 8 1/2.

The leather insoles, though not quite right at first, really conformed to the shape of my feet after a few days of wearing the boots. The no-scuff rubber soles are quiet and comfortable, and I really love the look of them. They also stay dry in rain and snow! Though more expensive than similar boots, keep in mind that these are made domestically by workers who are paid a fair wage.

These are like the ones I wore for 20 years - beautiful, comfortable, practical. Zappos worked with me impeccably to get the right size and gave me prompt, courteous service.

Really great boots. They take a while to break in - two weeks of every day wear. I'm on my feet in a cabinet shop all day long, but they feel great even after a full work day. The sole is quiet when you step, but a little slippery on wet tile. Tough leather too; you can rub scratches right out, so even after a full day of work, a little elbow grease and boot oil makes them super nice for a night out.

This made about the 6th pair of Red Wing Shoes that I have owned. Red Wings are awesome. They last forever and are high quality shoes. You can't go wrong with a pair of Red Wings. Having said that, this style runs large. I bought a 10 - my usual size - and it fit for the first few weeks. Once it loosened up it was too large. I love these shoes and hate to admit that they don't fit but they don't. If you purchase this style, consider a half size smaller.

Excellent boot; top quality in every way. They seem to be completely waterproof; I have been in downpours on my motorcycle as well as almost ankle deep in puddles in these. I wear a size 14 in most shoes (Adidas, Sperry Top-Siders, etc.) these fit perfectly in size 13. Very comfortable after they break in.

Classic work boot indeed. Rugged, durable, nice leather, and enduring craftsmanship. They will take some time to break in, but will certainly last a lifetime. One can always have them re-soled at a Red Wing store if need be. The color is great and scuffs can easily be rubbed out.

The boots are as awesome as expected but they are a little bit big. If your foot is between sizes, go smaller than bigger. Great buy.
