I started off with the 1907 then added the 875 as a second pair. I still own the 1907. The extra room just works better for my feet. I wear them without the added leather insole. I bought the 8883 after getting rid of the 875 and other than the Concrete Rough & Tough taking longer to break in they're now just as comfortable as the 1907.

[@sturmb155]

I bought my 1907s first about a year ago and I absolutely love them. The most comfortable boot I have. I just got a pair of 875s a few days ago and still breaking them in. I put the 1907s through hell and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Would love to see a comparison with the 10875 (from the work line rather than heritage). I recently went in to buy a pair and ended up going with the 10875, and I've been quite pleased with my purchase. They had my size in stock, I dig the logo, and they were even a bit cheaper.

[@ianturnbow7011]

Tried on 875s and 1907s in Wisconsin at a RW store a few years back. For me, the sizing was immediately different. Not sure if it was the insole or a mistake, but the 1907 felt tighter on the instep of my foot. The 1907 also had slightly less length. Same size and width, too.

[@SteevWho]

I recently purchased a pair of 1907's and experienced the same thing, in store. Having had other boots that were leather, and had leather foot beds, I knew they would Bed In, and they do pretty quickly, and your foot sinks down into the boot. Also, I heard somewhere it was a good idea with 1907's to take out the insole, giving you more room, bed them in, then later put the insole back in. It will take a lot less time to break in the insole, and cork will already be the shape of your foot.

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I had the opposite experience! Interesting. I went with the 1907 because they had a wider toe box and instep compared to the 875. The rep had 4 pairs of 875’s and 4 pairs of insoles to get them to work for me but the 1907’s fit immaculately with whatever the foot measuring thing said.

[@tannerevans3056]

I put about 8 years of wear into a pair of RW 1907s before upgrading to some Nick’s travelers. The first thing I thought was that the new pair of 1907’s is absolutely unrecognizable to the pair that I have in the bottom of my closet!

[@421CentralIowa]

I have a set of Red Wing 213 boots from 2012 that I love. They're an oxblood colored 875 last with pink neoprene soles. They have held up just dandy over the past decade.

[@gellis4]

I own both of these, 1907s and the Black 8849s and I also have some of the newer Thorogood 1892s with the 'waterproof' liner . 10.5D for all, and I vastly prefer my 1907s to the 8849s. I have worn the 8849s as my daily driver work boot for about 6 months before needing a resole, and ironically they have stretched out so much from work that the 1907s have a more snug fit. I'd still be rocking my 8849s but I took a chance on a different resole and didn't like the result, maybe I'll have them done again with another RW or a vibram christy. Comparing both RW boots to the Thorogoods they definitely feel more solid than the Thorogoods, but the thorogoods needed ZERO breaking in to feel comfortable. I doubt I'll get much life out of the Thorogoods like I have all of my RW boots, I picked up the thorogoods with a boot voucher from work while I am waiting for a set of Nicks Overlanders to be built. I also have a set of 10D Iron Rangers, and for my personal foot - the Iron Rangers are EASILY the best fitting boots and most comfortable. I've also had them the longest and it's like giving my feet a hug whenever I put them on. My feet measure a whisker under an 11 in a Brannock and between a C and a D in width.

[@achillesdanieladam9486]

In me the classic needs to be half size bigger than 1907. Up front the 1907 is shorter. Great video!

[@josephphillip]

Great video!! I own the 1907, a beautiful boot, maybe the nicest I've ever owned(?) I love the copper rough and tough leather. Tip: If you do get these, break in without the insole, wear your foot into the leather footbed + break in the leather upper. Then, 1-2 months later, put in the leather insole. Initially a tough break in, but now I really like them. I do not wear these on the jobsite, though-- too nice. ... I purchased the 875 for my GF, who wears it all around plus on the jobsite-- a great boot as well. As in the video, I think the 875 last fits a touch thinner than the 1907. In the 1907 I can wear a 12D, in the 875 I wear a 12E. Nice products.

[@DitlevPalm]

my first redwings 1975 was a pair of 877 high model(irish setter) lasted 20 years worn down to the midsole - my second redwings 1995 is a pair of 875 short model - resoled 2005 - in 2010 I fixed in new leather insoles - a good brushing every day and lay to dry on the side + Hanwag grease once a month throughout winter season + cedar shoe trees when not in use - so 47 years with the wings :)

[@DrewJ79]

I just bought the 1907's yesterday and so far I love them. People talk about the break in being torture on these American Heritage series but these really aren't that bad. It may be because they have the leather insole. There is a little bit of a rough feel inside on top of my foot and a little harsh on the heel because they're a snug fit, that will break in with a little time. I can easily wear them 8-9 hrs a day out of the box though. The trick is to not buy them loose at all. I tried the 12 wide because the 12d are a little tight but too much play is what will hurt you because of the stiff leather. They should almost feel a little too tight and then they will stretch to perfection. If they fit with too much wiggle room out of the box they will stretch too much and not be as comfortable in the long run. That has been my experience anyways. Thorogood and Red Wing are my favorite Moc Toe boots so far. Ive never tried Nicks or Whites though. I also tried the Red Wing Traction Lite boots and they have too much cushion in the sole. My knees were hurting with those boots. The more firm sole is actually better, it might just be me but I found firmer is better.

From day one, the 1907 was much easier to break in than the 875 and the 1907 feels way more comfortable with the cushioned insole. Regardless of the differences, I enjoy wearing both boots equally. So for those people with wide feet, you definitely will need to purchase different sized boots in order for your feet to feel comfortable in them.

I’ve owned a few pairs over the last 11-12 years. They are comfortable boots but the soles are trash. Anyone working hard in these boots will know. Once they start to wear you will lose traction quick. Any wet surfaces like concrete or steel and they become useless.

It is a bummer that the storm welt is fake. I actually have both boots (in different colors) and I always thought the 875 felt lighter and more comfortable. The 1907 with the insole feels "stuffy". I somehow accepted this as a side effect of having a more water resistant boot, but now that I know the stitching is fake, I feel better about 875 and worse about 1907. If you like the foam insert or wider toe go with 1907, otherwise I think you will be happier with 875.

Perfect comparison!!! Thank you so much for making this one for everyone trying to learn the difference between 23 and 45 last. The Norwegian "like" welt has been a mystery from the start, but I think they at least partially added it to make the profile of the toe box appear to be lower profile.

Both are fantastic after being broken in, and these are pretty much the only shoes I wear anymore.

[@thesharpercoder]

Red Wing may say that the 875s and 877s are built on the last, but the toe boxes are very different. The 877s have a wider toe box, which similar in appearance to the 1907s. If 877s and 875s use the same last, then the leather panels that make up the boots are “clicked” differently.

The oro-iginal or oro legacy leather from the 875 or 10875 respectfully takes on a much better wear pattern and color in my eyes. This is just one mans opinion though.

From my experience I can say if you have a wide foot go with the 1907. I have an very wide foot but the 1907 in 9.5EE fit perfect. I have had mine for 2 years and they never come off my feet I use them for work I use them for hiking (I’m in south Florida so flat ground wouldn’t recommend for rocky trails as they don’t have tread) I clean them up and wear them casually they are perfect for any occasion.

I hate hate fake shit. Hood scoops that don't function. Stuff like that. I hate it. But I love the look of the 1907's (fake) "Norwegian" reverse storm welt. I ain't looking to get another pair of moc-toes anytime soon, but when I do, it'll be the 1907s.

Found myself in this predicament last year, it’s probably worth mentioning that the 1907 is arguably better value as it comes with about 50 bucks worth of free accessories in the footbed and the laces. I ended up getting the 877s in the end so all was for nothing, but if I had to choose I’d go 1907

Go with the 877s. 8-inch boots are FAR more comfy than than 6-inch boots. They feel like the slipper socks you may have worn as a kid. Red Wing also made/makes the Copper Rough-N-Tough in an 8-Inch version.

My only issue with the 877 was the fully gussetted tongue. Made it a pain to get on and off in my experience. It’s why I switched to thorogood for my 8” boot. Much easier to get on

What makes the 8’’ more comfortable than 6??

[@jasonhearne1174]

The $40 set of free insoles makes the 1907's the no-brainer over the 875's. Also they look 100% better. The soles wear through like butter though.

Foam insoles completely defeats the purpose of having an all leather boot.
