Red Wing Heritage

6" Classic Moc

Women's

The boots I received had obviously been worn before. The signature off white soles were scuffed up and dirty. Not what I expected for such an exspensive product.

Too narrow, comedically short lace, no 10.5, glued down footbed. Love the color. Why are women’s shoes so limited compared to men’s? The only thing we’ve got going is the color variety. No 10.5, ridiculous short lace, limited width options. I’ve said it again and again: An 11 needs different laces than a 6! I’m sick of buying longer laces with almost every shoe I purchase! I want the one in the product photo: the one that is finished with an easy bow. Not a square knot tied with *just enough* lace.

These are the best and most comfortable work boots ever. I've spent hours on ladders and crawled around attics in these. The leather is super soft yet thick and strong. I'm from Minnesota, so I may be partial to Red Wing. For generations my family has worn Red Wing boots. My grandpa had the same model boot when I was a child. I remember him getting a new pair once and thinking there were funny looking orange boots. I saw these years ago when Red Wing came out with their Heritage Collection for men and wished so badly that they came in my size. Finally, I have them and love them.

Finally pulled the trigger on these and am so glad I did. She's a beauty, inside and out. :) On the sizing front, I'm a pretty standard size 8 across most shoes, occasionally an 8.5 to accommodate my slightly wide footbed, and I usually wear a 39 in Euro-size shoes. In these, the 8 fits me well with a little extra room to spare ahead of the toes. I almost tried the 7.5 but decided, with the help of a Red Wing representative, that 8 is probably best for me because they recommend a little extra space between the toes and the end of the toe-box. Width-wise they are perfect. If you're a narrow size 8 you might need to go down to a 7.5. I'm excited to enjoy these boots for years to come.

I have been on the fence about getting a pair of these for a while but I am so glad I did. These took just a couple of wears to break in and they get better each time I wear them. I'll be saving up for the Clara boot next!
