I got a pair of these about 2 months ago and I have some advice 4 anyone who's never owned a nice pair of boots. Learn from my mistakes. When you try them on in the store, take the footbeds out. Where are them for an entire month without the footbeds so the veg tan leather underneath can mold to your foot. Once the shoe has started breaking in, put the insole back inside and keep breaking it in......... I left the insoles inside of the boots and, not only were they more uncomfortable with a more difficult break-in, I didn't get the benefit of it molding to my foot as well. Thankfully I have corrected the problem and they have become the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. I highly recommend them

[@GentlemansJourney]

Thank you for watching and posting this very helpful comment here! I like your thought with taking the insoles out. 🥾🥾

[@BB-rc9sk]

“The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned.” I always wonder if the people who make these ridiculous comments have ever owned a pair of sneakers.

Good to know getting mine in a week

[@GentlemansJourney]

@@FrankCastle-he8fl Good on you.

[@kso808]

The only model of RW boots I own! I think they're a work of art! 👍

[@GentlemansJourney]

So happy to get me a pair, they are getting a lot of wear right now! Cheers for watching.

[@notyoungnotold3730]

Those are my go to boots. They have broken in so well. I thought I would miss the speed hooks, but the tongue is gusseted and opens wide. I really don't miss them. I love my 1907s. I hope you enjoy yours!

[@GentlemansJourney]

That’s great to hear! Yeah, I can’t wait to get mine broken in. Didn’t seem to have a break in period on my Thorogoods. 🥾🥾

[@pianofry1138]

You can put the speed hooks in. If that's something you value it's worth buying and I think Red Wing will do it. I always have my pants over that part of the boot so for me I think it was worth the half hour it took me to get them in to my pair.

[@hazleehamzah1244]

I bought mine in 2019 and super comfortable.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Daily runners or occasional use? Curious how they’ve held up. 🥾🥾

[@mannycalavera2335]

I love these. They are my go-to dog walking boot. And that is not a diss. Because it means I walk on them for hours and hours per week. In all kinds of weather. Through forest and moorland. They are a good mix of weight, support, comfort, water resistance and they are a boot that look good with wear. I am going to steal your idea of putting speedhooks on them.

[@GentlemansJourney]

I think your summary is spot on. Not just saying that, "They are a good mix of weight, support, comfort, water resistance and they are a boot that look good with wear." You have a future in boot reviews my friend! I am putting these up to my Thorogood in a comparison and I can't wait for that to come out.

[@tnan123]

Really am wanting to get a pair of moc toes at some point. These are definitely contenders. Great shots in the sand dunes!

[@GentlemansJourney]

It’s been a great style for me! Appreciate the comment on those shots, really fun and thaw sad always offers plenty of options!!

[@adrianalborez5176]

I don’t like my storm welt, def. hard to break in.

[@shermanclark9757]

I have owned a lot of red wings in my life. I currently own 5 pair. My 1907s are probably my favorite I’ve ever owned. I think you will be very happy you bought these. After break in of course

[@GentlemansJourney]

Appreciate ya watching and taking time to comment. I think these will get a ton of use for sure!

[@Little_Britain74]

Did you full size or 1/2 size down? I full sized down on my 875s. But hear 1907s are more snug.

[@shermanclark9757]

@@Little_Britain74 hard to say really. I have boots from 11d all the way to 12 d depending on the maker. If I had to guess my actual size, I would be 11 1/2 d but I really don’t know for sure. In redwing I wear an 11d.

[@lh8372]

I own the 875 w/ the white wedge sole. Those are super cool. I think on these I’ll have a cobbler put on a black vibram wedge sole or another black vibram sole product to match the eyelets & the already present thin black rubber strip.

[@GentlemansJourney]

That could look sweet!! 🥾🥾

[@lrlevy]

I traded in the 845 for these. I love these 1907s.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Sounds like you made a good move! Irish setter gets too bad of a rap but these gotta be an upgrade!! 🥾🥾

[@alexandertuin9442]

It took me about three months to break them in, it hurted like hell (my feet where bleeding, still have some bloodstains inside). But after three months And taking out the insole(1907) everything changed And I became the best walking choose I ever had. It took some time, but it was wearth it.

[@GentlemansJourney]

That's great news mate!! You are a champion.

[@darrenhall7454]

Another great video. 😁👍 Beautiful looking boot and in my opinion the best looking leather. Impressive workshop, too.

[@GentlemansJourney]

I really like this leather, it's what made it an easy choice to go back to it again. Thanks for watching!

[@chiptuckyheadhunter]

Woof, looks hot on that dune. This is my first vid of yours. I have many pairs of Red Wing boots and never really thought about changing to speed hooks at the top, but your right....those would be very nice to have. I'm going to reach out to a local cobbler to see what can be done. I always treat my new boots with some sort of conditioner, I'm trying different ones now to see what I like best.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Solid plan! Thanks for watching and catch ya on the next one. 🥾🥾

[@JimS870]

I have custom orthotics. Silly question, can I leave the leather footbed in, and put my custom orthotics on top of them?

[@GentlemansJourney]

Sure can! Might get a 1/2 size bigger to compensate

[@jeffbones2802]

Loved these boots. Have had 2 pairs. I work on a river boat. So I walk on a lot of hard steel surfaces in all different seasons. That being said, the soles are absolute trash after about 6 months of hard use. Once they start to wear out you will completely lose traction on them. Leathers great on them and they are comfortable. Redwing just needs to offer a different sole with this style of boot

[@GentlemansJourney]

Thanks for watching! I think that’s why Brunt put rubber on their crepe outsole and now nicks boots has the Wood Butcher boot to hopefully give comfort sole with rubber treads.

[@jeffbones2802]

@@GentlemansJourney ya I’m starting to see more of the crepe soles with some sort of rubber mixed in. Kind of silly that Redwing being as big as they are doesn’t fix this issue. These boots could be perfect with that easy fix.

[@Alireza.Danaee]

Great video and helpful review! I enjoy your reviews a lot, thank you. I prefer eyelets over speed hooks since I saw on videos that Red Wings' speed hooks make holes in the tongue of the boots after a few wears and I believe they also tear the laces. I put on my 1907 in the morning and take them off in the afternoon and a few more minutes of trying to put them on and take them off didn't make me think of speed hooks yet.

[@GentlemansJourney]

I hear ya, the tongue on my iron rangers is taking a beating, appreciate ya watching! 🥾🥾

[@davidc1334]

I've had it tear the laces but at that point the laces are so old I just replace them. Never had it tear the tongue thou damn

[@Bozotheclown-hc9tx]

The storm welt on those is foe…. Its a foe stitch if u get a flat head driver u cant stick it behind and see its not actually stitched to anything therefor not being anymore waterproof than a regular goodyear welt… none the less a handsome boot

[@GentlemansJourney]

Yikes, Well, I'll be sure to film that when the cobbler breaks these bad boys down in a few years!! Thanks for telling me.

[@Kiwigd]

I think the term is ‘faux’ meaning false or fake. ‘Foe’ means enemy.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Foe?? A “foe” is an adversary. I think you mean “faux” genius.

[@robertm9848]

Your spewing false statements. Rose Anvil cut these boots in half I suggest you watch that video before commenting any further on these boots.

@@robertm9848yea, he did. And he showed everyone that it’s a faux stitch. Did you even watch it???

Just got a pair today. Excited to get them broke in. I usually wear a 10 or 10.5, and these are 9.5s.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Good on you Mate! Congrats and enjoy

[@Ascalon94]

same for me. usually wear a 10 but wear a 9.5 in these

[@sidspears3117]

lack of heel space in this boots last, 875 is muuuch more comfy. Struggling right now break em in

[@GentlemansJourney]

The struggle is real! 🥾🥾

[@sampiksa5413]

I have just bought these and the sizing is interesting My feet measure about 10.75 inches. In nike sneakers I'm a US 10, In 1907 I bought a US 9 and 9.5 In US 9 they were way too tight with the insole and also my toe was touching the end. Took insole out and I had a few Mm at end. I was tempted to keep the 9s hoping the leather will stretch, but too many ppl Said the length will not stretch. So I opted for the 9.5US. With insole they are good. As the leather loosens up , might need a thin insole underneath to take up the volume. I also bought the 8833 roughout abeline, those are on a different last (23 I think) and I got US9 and 8.5. US9 is the good size. Nike = 10 US 1907 = 9.5 US with insole 8833 / 875 = 9US Good luck, the break in on the 1907 is very tough, and I've just done 2 pairs of doc martens 1460 smooth leather which are notoriously hard on the heel. These 1907 are much tougher imo

[@GentlemansJourney]

I’m glad you have a good understanding of what fits you and doesn’t. I’ve even seen off the shelf boots of the same size fitting different. It’s certainly tough with the amount we spend but I like how you ultimately find the right fit. My 1907’s were tough to break in. 🥾🥾

[@ManapuaMan187]

Just bought a pair of the thorogood moctoe boot and they really suck tried breaking them in for 3 months and still not comfy maybe ill try redwings

[@GentlemansJourney]

Man that’s strange, I’d say the thorogoods have no break in and the Red Wings certainly do. Best of luck getting that sorted out! 🥾🥾

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Thorogoods don’t even require a break in lol.

[@austinreeves5221]

I just got them and its day two. They fit 100% better than Thorogoods and Danners moc toe. My only problem is the pinky toe on my right foot. I hope they break in.

[@austinreeves5221]

I know they need to break in and Im on a jobsite all day so lets see.

[@GentlemansJourney]

That’s good to hear, maybe put some oil on that spot!

[@GentlemansJourney]

Excited to hear back

[@rapoholicz4195]

Did they break in?

[@flushot6513]

Like my Thursday on shoes but would the Redwing hold up to outdoor wear in winter and fall better than Thursday

[@larrywaford3838]

I wear a 9 D in Iron Rangers. I feel like a have too much length in the toe box. An 8 1/2 is too tight on the side of the toe box. An 8 1/2 ee is too wide. Does the moc toe last seem to have excess length at the end of the toe? I know some people prefer this but it annoys me. I couldn't find a good fit in the IR so I'm hoping to find a good fit in the moc toe

[@GentlemansJourney]

Yes, I would say it does have less length at the end in my Moc toe.

[@YourBoyStevoVA]

[@brianwilliams4082]

I have the 875 red wings and did not put any leather insoles for 2 years now.Did you put insoles right away over the insanely hard leather

[@GentlemansJourney]

The removable insole on these are leather lined with foam. I have ran the insole the whole time. They are certainly not a spring toe like the thorogoods.

[@justinafuchs2619]

@@GentlemansJourneyWhat is a “spring toe”? I’m sorry I have to ask, I’m not a native speaker.

I expected it to be a bit roomier because for some reason I think the Moc Toe would be, but the Iron Ranger last 8 is pretty much the same for me. Both size 11.

[@Maplefuzz3542]

@@GentlemansJourney Thanks. I'm thinking if the 1907s has more like an E width. Gotta try that one out

[@nismo_zrz3321]

You should try out the 10877, you can get widths from super narrow to super wide. I wear 12 in tennis shoes, 11.5D in a Iron Ranger, and 12B in a 10877. I measure a 12 narrow on my right foot and just under 12 and narrow on my left foot. For me the sizes vary depending on the last. I tried 11s in the iron ranger and Moc toes but it was way too tight in the toe box. The 10877 have been amazing.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Pretty sure these boots don't come in my size so not gonna watch whole thing. Just got more Thorogood's, tho.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Also annoyed that RW doesn't seem to make any that are taller than 6" and that's HUGE deciding factor.

[@Highland_Paddy]

And their sizing is all over the place, which would matter more to me if I was going to buy one of their base models, I guess, but I think I'd be better off with some custom model.

[@Highland_Paddy]

I hate speed hooks, but also more a thing with taller...

Thoro's don't have the toe room of these or Wolverines, but Wolver is more budget brand, obviously.
