I got the same boots at a red wing store too. They measured my foot, got the right size and they're great, very comfortable. Sometimes I'll wear them on weekends cuz they're more comfortable than my sneakers.

I just bought a pair of these and went through the sizing process at the store. To start with alittle tight but not unbearable almost like a firm handshake. I had usually bought my boots wide or extra wide but they measured a D width. So i have them on at work giving them a try and i like them so far but i do have 11 hrs to go so we will see. The build of these are different from other boots because i get the toe room i want without having to go wide on the size. The guy at the store said thats why i get calluses on the balls of my feet is because of the boot being too wide and my foot slipping around. But i had to do that to get the toe room i wanted on other boots but not on these so far as i can see :)

I've had my first pair of redwings for about 6 months now, I love the look and durability, good quality leather. I want to love them so bad but sadly for me, they just aren't very comfortable. Kind of seems like they just aren't breaking in very nicely. Bottoms of my feet are definitely sore after a work day. Probably the most uncomfortable/poorly broken in boots I have ever worn, even compared to a 200$ dakota! I wish they were more comfortable and I would never buy another type of boot again

I wear the same boot but in a soft toe. I have been wearing redwing exclusively for 10 years now. I swear by them. I prefer the non steel toe version for the lighter weight. The steel toe version is great as well but it leaves my feet tired after 10 hours of my electrician job and then farming over 3500 acres. Redwing are pricey but well worth the money i get a year out of them but they get exposed to mud grease and manure. Nice video.

I am an electrician and a farmer i wear mine 16 hours a day six days a week average. I can get almost 2 years out of them if I keep them oiled every other month.

Two different boots one soft sole one hard sole Soft sole lasted 4 months hard sole lasted about 6 months. 300 plus dollar boots should last at least a year. I will never by Redwing again.

They have the geared transmission which I am more accustom to. Thanks Dave.
@stuntcardriver5 жыл бұрын
The 3025e is sitting at the dealer. It developed a miss at lower rpm. I dumped the fuel and still had a miss so I assumed injectors. Dealer told me I didn't have any warranty left. I said if you tell me the injectors are bad we're going to have a problem. An engine with 80 hours needs injectors? That's manufacturer defect and you (dealer) will be covering it. They called yesterday and they had ordered injectors and that it will be covered under some sort of emission warranty.
