Red Wing Shoes

Yeah I ride in whatever I got, sneakers, work shoes, boots, etc. Jeans or a suit, no matter.

Yeah, gakugeidaigaku is right. I lived there for a short time many years ago

Yes, it's simply metal. So I might need to use one pair exclusively for riding. Might actually get the proper RW riding boots, those without laces, for that. Or the Salt Miner. I guess scratches on them fit better than on the Beckman which I think was also called the Gentleman Traveller.
I was riding my bike in flipflops, too.

Not Salt Miner, I meant the Iron Ranger.

Those Postman's have my full attention.

Hi All, I'm planning on getting a pair of Red Wing 212s and could really do with some size advice:

I normally take a US size 10, width EE if possible. If it helps, I've got some Cherokee boots in that size that fit perfectly, and I take a US size ten in normal Timberland boots. The Red Wing European site says a US10 = a UK 9, but as these are a D fitting, I was wondering if anyone had some sage adivce? Sadly, I can't find any local stores with a pair to try.

Cheers in advance!

Michael.

thanks Max! I really don't like the regular yellow/brown boot laces.

BTW Finn, if you're thinking of getting them resoled, RW/Europe does that in Netherlands. I just saw friends pair with new soles and they even send him flicks of the job.

That's worth knowing, I thought they would have to be sent back to the US to have that done.

I just found out this. At least my buddy sent the boots to Netherlands….I can check the link later if needed.

Thank IJ, don't need it at the moment but for future reference would be useful.

that can also be done in the Red Wing Store in Frankfurt / Germany, to resoled the white sole set you back around 80 Euro + shipping…
