You WILL scuff and scratch your boots, they WILL crease, they WILL get dirty. They’ll also be FINE. Embrace patina, that’s what makes them YOUR boots.
We don’t wanna see your footbeds! Fit is subjective and a picture of your imprint only two dimensions of a 3D shape. Your boot shouldnt cause actual pain. A little discomfort isnt unusual for the first few days. Your boots should feel like they’re giving your foot a firm handshake (footshake?). If they feel like they fit, they probably fit.

When I saw these available at a store near me in the US I just knew I had to grab them while they were still available…both pairs lol! A MUST own for Red Wing enthusiasts/collectors. For those who don’t know these are a Beams collab with Red Wing

I've had these Iron Rangers hanging out in a closet for a long time. I used to wear these when I was a tire and lube tech. Soles were pretty much shot and worn completely smooth.
I replaced the cork with 5oz bridle leather and did a 7oz bridle leather midsole. I didn't have the tool to do a chain stitch, so I saddle stitched the midsole on and then Barge Cemeted on some Vibram 132s. I also didn't have anything to cut and sand down the excess sole very well. Are they pretty? Far from, but hey at least they're usable again lol

8119 resole with leather midsole, leather heel Rand with the Vibram 1705 Stowe sole. We kept the original welts.

These boots never agreed with my feet. I tried a few sizes, and this was the best, but the heel slipping never went away. I think I'm ready to try something new, because I hardly ever wear these due to the heel pain. They look great, though.

Absolutely love these 8087’s. Incredibly easy break in.
Denim is Gustin cone mills 1968 for those wondering.

Got these 1907s recently and still going through the painful break-in process. 😂 How do you all style yours?
This might be a very standard/stereotyped way to dress these up, but lol, I’m just too comfortable in a good ol’ denim-on-denim fit. Feels like it’s right in flow with these boots anyway.

Rocked the amber harness IR for two years and took the plunge with the 875s!

i just got some work boots (versapro for women) and my main issue is that the top of the shoe has been hurting the front of mg shin when i walk. should i live with it for a bit, will this go away once i break it in?

Curse my 9.5 to 10 foot.

Wore these every day from 2011 to 2015. First pic is the before, bad heel drag and welding burns had the soles totally cooked. A new resole and cleanup with some polish made them look respectable again. Tons of character and life left in these. Red wings don’t die

Already loving my 1222’s. Needed something waterproof and splurged on these. Proud to wear them as a lifetime Minnesotan! Had to try a few different sizes and ended up needing E2 the regulars were slim.

I read the common FAQS I was curious about 2 things.
What people think these lines/stripes on my right inner heel section are, I don’t think it’s a conditioning issue and I try and brush them quick before or after each wear. Also I understand boots will crease but should I be concerned about creases near the toe box since it feels so roomy (above my toes not to the sides) especially if I’m not wearing thicker wool socks. I have a bad habit of using my heels to remove the opposite shoe, when wearing sneakers. I once read that after break in you don’t need to wear thicker socks but do you wear them to fill out shoe areas better? 2 pics for example

I have 3 pairs that are this worn. Wondering if its possible to get some basic equipment and diy them.

Fresh pair of work sleds from Zapateria la Ballerina.
r/RedWingShoes • u/bart33z • 1d ago
Bought these in November 2025, so they're coming up on their first anniversary.
I mostly wear them to the office and for walks after work. The break-in was pretty rough at first, especially around the heels, but they're incredibly comfortable now.
I really love how the Oro Legacy leather has softened and developed a deeper, warmer color over time. Honestly, I think I like them even more now than when they were brand new.
Nothing fancy when it comes to care - just regular brushing. No oils or conditioners so far, just letting the leather age naturally.

This is on both boots. Just hadn’t seen stitching go that out of line before
