Red Wing Motorcycle 988 Steel-Toe SKU #7258739(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Great - These are the best wearing and comfortable boots I have found for work.

No doubt - I was first worried that the boot would not fit by ordering it online. But I went ahead and order it with my current Pecos style size. And the boot fit just as advertised. Zappos really helped me out. Thanks.

Very comfortable - Bought these boots because I needed a better boot than my previous Harley boots. All I wear is boots, my calves and back would hurt daily wearing them. I looked online and saw these awesome looking Red Wing boots and they screamed out biker boot. I bought some and now I will never ever buy another brand again. I can stand for hours in these boots and not to mention how cool they look when I’m riding. Goodbye Harleys and hello Red Wings.

100% satisfied - I ordered these for my husband. He said that they fit like a glove and everyone comments about the shine to them. He is so happy now. Thanks.

Second Thoughts. After receiving these boots I wrote a review that was not to favorable. Well I went ahead and forced myself to wear these boots, because they are so nice looking and actually are crafted pretty well, and gradually they started to feel more comfortable with each wear. Now I wouldn’t trade them for any others. Maybe I was just too quick to judge.

Red Wing Steel Toe saved arthritic joint under foot shifter - I had an acute attack of arthritis in the joint between the metatarsal bone and the big toe on my left foot. The steel toe on the Red Wing 988 was just the ticket to relief on my Suzuki DL-1000 V-Strom. It is a bit awkward on my Honda ST1100, but it works there too. I went with Red Wing because they have actual widths available. I need the EE width. Try to find that with other motorcycle boot suppliers. I actually ordered a pair of 988's, and pairs of 969's and 977's to see which pair I would like the best. I was not optimistic that the steel toe would help, or that it would even be comfortable enough to wear. I intended to keep one pair of the three, but I liked them all so well, that I kept them all.

Very good motorcycle boot at a very good price - I own nothing but boots and these are the ones I wear most of the time. When I got them they were well-packaged and arrived in perfect condition, and the quality of the boots was obvious. They required only a day or so to break-in, though they were comfortable out of the box. They're a bit heavy to walk far but they're good at keeping the foot evenly supported. The only negative about these boots-and it's a minor one in my view- is that they are made in China; I had believed that Red Wing made all its boots in the USA. The reason I'd get these boots from Zappos versus anywhere else is that they seem to have the only ones with the metal grommets on the buckle strap holes, which helps them last longer. I'd buy them again from Zappos if I needed another pair.
