Why The Red Wing 1907's Are The Best Moc Toe Boot. (vs. 875) + Waterproof test

[@JoeyDecay]

The reason why it says "Norwegian like" is the stich on the side is just decorative. It's not stitched to the boot on these. But it does look cool. A lot if boots have this like Thorogood. But at least those are a real leather welt. Basically a Goodyear welt with an extra piece of leather that goes up the side with a stich to nowhere. If you don't believe peel it back. Or watch rose anvils episode he did a month ago comparing the 1907 to the 875.

[@osceolaseminole5596]

Bingo.

[@man8god]

yeah

[@harveyflinder2433]

You got it. It's not a genuine Norwegian welt. Just skin deep.

[@johnfranklin6394]

I got my 1907s in April. Happy with them in the extreme. A little tough to break in, but well worth it. They have proven waterproof enough in rain and wet grass here in the UK. They have conformed perfectly to my feet, and are super comfortable. The wider last makes a difference as I have wide, flat feet. I like the look of the storm welt too. I will likely get some 875s in time as I do love the classic colour of the leather on the definitive Red Wing moc toe.

[@northeastwanderer]

I really missed boot videos!! I have a pair of 875's, personally, it comes down to the leather for me. A moc-toe in Oro Legacy with a storm welt would probably be perfect. Great to see you meeting up with other heritage youtubers.

[@el34glo59]

Idk man. I own a ton of Redwings and these are some of the nicest Moc toes I've ever worn or seen. They are heavy duty af, yet break in immediately. They also feel like I'm walking on clouds even without the insert. And they're gorgeous

[@pianofry1138]

The 8in isn't a bad option. They have the same outsole and supposedly they're easier to break in. I personally own the 1907 and I don't think you'll go wrong either way.

[@iCrescendo]

I got a pair of 1907’s from Red Wing Amsterdam a couple weeks ago. Love them! Also the break in is not that uncomfortable for me as I was expecting, but mine are made on a wider last, so that might help as well

[@TheIronSnail]

Ahh okay I feel that (you may also just be tough)

[@robindejong1240]

Hey I’m also going to get them from Red Wing Amsterdam. What do you mean by “‘made on a wider last”? I have pretty wide feet but I don’t see how I can order the wider versions online.

[@eazyinstalls]

@@robindejong1240 red wings sells deff size widths. normal width is a D, wider sizes are EE & EEE. They should have options when you click a size on there website with selecting width on the top column above the sizes available. I would suggest to go into a red wing shop if you have one locally to get them to size your feet properly, I had no break in period tbh when I did that for my work boots.

[@el34glo59]

Break in on the 1907s was almost immediate for me. Couldn't believe it considering how heavy duty they are. I own alot of Redwings and these are some of the best imo. Just an amazing design and build I didn't get wide or anything. I wear 12s in shoes, 11s in any Redwing Moc Toe, including these (without insert for now), and 10.5s in blacksmiths. I know, crazy huh. And I have wider feet at the front. But they all feel perfect and like slippers now. Honestly none of them were hard to break in. The CRT blacksmiths a little tough. I own a couple different pairs of blacksmiths. Roughnecks maybe took a little time But these broke in immediately. And fit like someone made them for me. In love with you them. You guys should be wearing some type of wool sock with all your Redwings btw. Once I break these in fully, I'll put the insert back in.

Do they make these in NON-steel toe boots or are they only available in steel toe version. I love the looks of the boot but looking for something lighter. Thanks!

[@spiljay2]

If you do some conditioning/waterproofing to the leather, that should help the leather and stitching significantly. I use Venetian Shoe Cream, and buff it down with a horse hair brush. It has waxes that help with waterproofing, conditions leather at the same time, and the color is the same after 2 days. However, I don't live in a place that requires my boots to be extremely waterproof, and there are tons of products and methods that you can find online. Some people (me) favor a product that protects the leather and the integrity of its color. But if you don't care about darkening your boots, mink oil is great for waterproofing, and I've heard good things about Sno-seal

[@TheIronSnail]

I’m actually going to Sno Seal my Blundstones this year I think!

[@yair1324]

I own several pairs of the 1907s. Not because I like to collect boots, but because I bought several pair trying to find a pair that actually fit and didn’t wreck my feet. I wear a size 9 normally and have measured my foot to ensure that is the size I should wear. I also went into the Red Wing store and had my feet measured by that fancy device thingy. So that day I went with the 8.5. Wore them for about a month and they gave me terrible blisters on my heel due to heel slip. So I bought a pair of size 8 on eBay, same shit. So I bought a size 7.5. These don’t slip in my heel but still are very uncomfortable. I’ve owned them for about a year and worn them over 100 times and still feel like they are not even close to broken in. The soles literally don’t bend when I walk so it feels like I’m walking on a brick. I even tried bending them with a ratchet strap and leaving them over night. This helped a little bit but not enough to wear them for over 2 hours and feel good. Idk. I’ve worn lots of tough boots in the past, like the red wing loggers when I was fighting firea and these broke in fine. The 1907 soles are just bricks.

[@carloscardona3924]

Redwing is very good Bought some weastern bullhides Worked contruction they lasted so freaking long and the bullhide hardly had scratches.

Are these bulkier compared to other redwings mocs because of the insole?

[@pianofry1138]

I own an 8188 and the 1907. Fit wise the 1907 is roomier but still in the same size but visually they aren't different.

[@joshm3484]

Best way to think of a Norwegian welt is it's a stitch-down construction with a goodyear welt. One stitch connects the upper, midsole, welt, and outsole, while a second horizontal stitch connects the upper, welt, and midsole. The extra protection from water is from the upper not tucking under the insole as in a traditional goodyear welt. A possible disadvantage is in that the second stitch is more exposed and not sandwiched between the welt and upper, which can let more water in. Both are water resistant, but neither is water proof without an additional barrier or coating.

[@roberttennant572]

Except the Norwegian stitch on this book is fake. I own a pair and love them, but the top stitch does *not* attach to the upper, it's a fake stitch.

[@Petemitchell0341]

Are these supposed to be fully submerged waterproof??? I had no idea that was the expectation

Why not resole the redwing with whichever sole you wish? Getting rid of boots after the sole wears defeats a lot of the value of a GYW boot.

[@cop70s]

Thorogoods soles do last longer than RW but because the leather is twice as soft they stretch a lot more than RWs. My Thorogood boots are almost a full size bigger than when I bought them two yrs ago. The RWs mold to your feet and stay that way.

[@el34glo59]

I wear heritage for work and I work in tough environments. I used the Roughnecks first. The sole actually lasted a LOOONG time. And now I'm wearing the 1907. Anyone who says you can't work in these is very very wrong. Work boots barely last. And are sweaty with unnecessary inserts and linings etc. I am one of the few who will spend the money on heritage to work in. Certain ones. Idk what people are talking about. I have no issues with the soles of Redwings. Just get a different sole when you wear them down boos. That's what's so great about the welt Also there's absolutely no way the actual leather and build lasts longer than Redwings. Maybe the sole. But so?

Technically speaking 1907 is the better boot (due to storm welt). But I have both and like to wear the Moc Toe (in my case 8863 Slate) more. It is a bit lighter and roomier than 1907, It also breathes better. I also like the thick leather insole better than removable insoles in 1907. If I was walking in rain definitely I would rather wear 1907, but for normal wear the regular Moc Toe is more fun to wear.

Then you’ll never have to buy boots ever again as long as you keep em clean, brushed, conditioned & re-soled. Those 12 pairs will do anything you need as far as situations, outfits, styles, etc. (I would add a couple more that I own, in addition to most of the previous listed, but unfortunately they’re discontinued… a couple Beckmans (9011 & 9016) a coupe Ice Cutters (2930 & 2931) and some Engineers (2990 & 2991).

Nearly 3 years late to the party; thanks, algorithm! Anyway, just wanted to clarify: owning something in camouflage (especially one that hasn't been used in decades) is not stolen valor. Stolen valor is someone pretending they have served in the armed forces or inflating their service (think claims of awards the vet didn't actually earn). People have gotten pretty defensive of the whole "stolen valor" thing without fully understanding what it actually is, which has led to people (civilians and vets) being harassed and threatened. It's totally fine if Nick (or anybody else) doesn't want to wear camouflage patterns, but it's no more stolen valor than wearing a peacoat (which was still standard issue in the Navy in 2012 when I enlisted) (that's not a brag... I hated that job; just pointing out that people wear military stuff all the time and it's largely benign). Idk if Filson still sells that bag, but it's totally fine to get it. Just don't slap a bunch of medals on it and ask to board the plane early. That's a dick move.

Now - lets get some ropers and an open Road Stetson.

Stetson next! Also DEAL see you in Norway

Nice! Finally upgrading your foot collection. Just a few thoughts, you should listen to Ron Rider on the Stitchdown podcast about sizing, he’s down two episodes about sizing which are great. I think you could change your perspective on how to size boots and shoes. Second, these are leather boots, they’re not waterproof. It’s a little unfair to submerge them and to feel disappointed that they aren’t hydrophobic and completely repellent. Thanks for getting in the GYW game, hope you buy those Yuketans!

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty for the info!! Like I said though I was comparing them to my Blundstones which are very very resistant and didn’t expect them to live up to that but I will still interested!! (I think I’ll def get those Yuketans!!)

rewatching some of your older videos like this, i am thinking about getting some red wings, but only after my MIE Doc Martens are worn to shit. And a cool addition to Red Wings would be a Selvedge Jeans Combo with Jacket. Love your Videos. A Project or Video with Iron Snail x Rose Anvil would be cool

Well done, Harris, from Theo and Harris. I stole this joke.

[@TheIronSnail]

You stole it but now you own it

[@MisterKnightly]

@@TheIronSnail Keep up the good work, eh?

[@khotsomosili7174]

Can someone help me get this boots plz.

[@cornpop8570]

I thought you only wore reebocks?

[@TheIronSnail]

I'll wear anything!

[@cornpop8570]

@@TheIronSnail the Red wings definitely look nicer than your sneakers. 👍🏻

How have you not used Big Michael for an intro yet?

[@Iceberqe]

Of course there had to be a torture test... By the way, so i guess the resolution about becoming a minimalist is now dead for good, right?

[@TheIronSnail]

IT’S NEVER DEAD! But I’m finding it increasingly difficult since my channel revolves around reviews…but…in a few videos I’ll be doing something about it (again)

[@ronnieverma6677]

1907s are nice but don’t beat the classic look of the 875. There’s no mistaking the boots with the 875s but the 1907s look like most other moc toes . Both are pretty amazing boots though

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreed!! I may or may not be getting a certain pair of 875’s soon :)

[@johnnydrama8709]

Gotta make sure ppl know ur wearing redwings. Don’t want ppl to mistake them for anything less. Jesus loll

[@patricknorem6422]

They need to make them in larger sizes... I am missing out on some sweet boots!

[@josephsutton1175]

What make is that bag i need one! Lol
