  So I was a little nervous to purchase them on Amazon instead of the Red Wing website but I am so glad I did. I've bought some Thorogood 814-4200 and I was very happy with those as well. If anyone is interested in buying a boot but can't afford Red Wings I highly recommend Thorogood. I've put them through a lot of beatings during work and they have held up and kept their comfort. Now as for these Red Wings I've seen a lot of bad reviews as far as breaking them in. I put them right on and I feel no pain and walked around and felt no pinching so unless you're a wimp you should be fine lol. I'm looking forward to putting these boots to work and seeing how they do but I'm sure they will hold up. One more thing is I have noticed people were wondering if these were not only 877's instead of 10877's but also if they are truly Red Wings. To put the confusion to rest yes these are Official Red Wings and they are 877's. I hope you guys enjoy your boots and work in comfort!!!!!

  First of all these are great boots, luxuriant leather and an honest piece of true Americana. Now about fit, I see most people buying Red Wing boots sized down a half or a full size then remark or complain about the break-n period. I say you should get a boot a half or full size large and that Red Wings are sized about right for all-round use, so if you wear a size 10 in other shoes, get a 10 in Red Wing Heritage. I live in a town on a hill with a big mountain with steep trails to the east (Ogden, Utah). I was in the Marine Corps in Vietnam so that tells you my age and my experience with boots in general, and one thing you don't want is a tight boot with your toes up against the front. Hiking down a mountain trail, or just walking to town down hill on a sidewalk can be torture. If a boot tightens properly around your ankle and it's not too wide, your foot will be held in place inside the boot. When I buy a boot there's no real "break-in" needed, at least not the painful kind described, endured and self inflicted by so many.Now, my feet are pretty big I guess, but I'm a slender 6'2" and 175lbs. I wear a 13D in Red Wings, a 13 in Clarks, a 15 in Basque and 14s in most of the knock-about shoes I buy at Big-5. So, my feet are 13+ I guess. I owned a pair of Red Wing engineer boots (2268's) for 20 years. They were sold to me by a Red Wing store salesmen who said I should come down a size. The WERE painful and never got any better, I rode motorcycles with them, but couldn't walk anywhere, just too painful. Right now I have four pair of Red Wing Heritage boots, the 877's, Iron Ranger's, and two pair of engineers, the black 2990 and brown 2991. They all fit perfect and the only break in I've suffered is from the 2991 from the pull-up tabs rubbing on my leg. I put on taller stockings and fixed that. To reiterate, if you wear a 10 in everything...especially if you tend to a 10+ I wouldn't downsize but go for a 10 in any Red Wing Heritage boot. Buy a pair, wear them with pride, look like Steve Mcqueen or an ornery old X-Marine like me, they won't be mistaken for Birkenstock's!

  I don't often give five star reviews but I really can't find anything to complain about. They are comfortable (after expected break-in time), well constructed, and have a classic look.I ordered them a half a size smaller than what I wear in sneakers, and they still accommodate heavy boot socks. Fit is very nice.The first pic is the day I got them. The others were taken after 4months of wear and several cleanings and oilings. Many reviewers complain about how the mink oil darkens the leather, but you can judge for yourself. I personally love the darkened leather.I wore them heavily for one week to break them in. They are stiff at first as expected. After that I washed them with a shoe brush and saddle soap. Then I applied mink oil. I have continued to wear them almost every day and I clean them about once a week, since they get pretty dirty at work. I usually use brush, saddle soap, and neutral color polish for regular cleaning. Mink oil I apply less often, maybe once a month.The Red Wing Moc Toe has been around forever and is a classic. They are made in the USA and will serve you for many years. They are well worth the money.

  These are great simple unlined boots that are made of thick high quality leather. The craftsmanship is supurb, every stitch is perfect, and the leather is cut cleanly and accurately. I usually wear a size 10 sneaker, the size 9 boot fits me perfectly.Because they are made from thick leather they are a little stiff for a few days. After wearing them for about a week, and applying some boot conditioner (otter-wax boot wax) they are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned, and they are only just beginning to wear in.One of my favorite features is that the tongue is attached almost to the top of the boot, this makes it so that if you step in snow or water past the laces it doesn’t flood into the boot around the bottom of the tongue.I got the Copper Rough and Tough leather color (model 8830) but I found that the actual color is a little lighter and more orange than the photos (almost like the Oro Legacy color #887). I was hoping for a darker brown than I got. However after applying boot wax (boot oil would work as well) they look more like the pictures on the redwing website. The photos I posted are after the boot wax.One thing that I find a little odd is that the laces they came with are not long enough to lace all the eyelets, you can, but then there isn’t enough left to actually tie them. Pick up some 72” laces as well if you intend to lace these all the way. I got some at the local pharmacy that look just like the original laces, but are longer.

  Worst pair of boots I’ve ever owned! They gave such bad pain in my feel I couldn’t walk for 3 days! They wear out way too fast they have to be laced up every time you put them on and are very difficult to put on and take off

  This is an early review, but I wanted to get my first thoughts down. I will revisit later.First Impression: I am no stranger to expensive footwear (Alden, Gokey, Bruno Magli, Magnanni, Allen Edmonds etc). These are impressively made in a utilitarian way. Lovely thick leather.Sizing: 1/2 size large. I wear a US 9 in most shoes, 9.5 in New Balance running shoes, and I needed an 8.5 in these. I also just bought Red Wing 2990 engineer boots in size 9, so these 877's are definitely 1/2 size large.Conditioning: I gave them 4 coats of Fiebing's Pure Neatsfoot Oil. The color darkened substantially but is now richer and the leather is certainly softer.Break In: This is a problem. I have NEVER encountered a more painful break in. They are so stiff and firm, they are just unyielding. I know, these are old-school boots without a Poron insole, but this is not a fun introduction. If I had not read about the difficult break in process, I would have thrown the towel in. I wear them for an hour or two while cooking dinner and I must say it is a relief to take them off. I trust it will be worthwhile.

  Redwing 10877 hands down is one of the most iconic work boots out there. Here is a few things to know about the redwing 10877 8 inch moc toe boots. For me they fit 2 sizes to big. I wear a 8 normally n in these I wear a 6 These boots are very stiff out of the box. If u are looking for a comfortable boot out the box do not buy these. They take a while to break in. At least a hard core month of work in them. Be ready for blisters n whatever else pain u can have in your feet. When u get past that they are like slippers. A good way for me was that I put on ankle n foot braces that have a back gel area in the heel. You need to buy very thin ones that can fit under the boot. I have tried few different sizes in these boots because I thought some were to tight n to loose. U want to buy the smallest size you can still with the ability for toe room. Your toes need a little space to wiggle but still snug. Let them fit very snug because they will break in and if you don't buy correctly they will be to loose on u after the break in. U should have none to a half inch of heel slippage as most. This made these boots very easy to break in for me. They are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. U can also oil them up or use all natural boot conditionar or leather conditionar. They will soften up the boots. The oil will deff darken the boots. I also use a boot dryer. I think that little amount of heat everyday helps to break the boot in better also. I have had tried every boot out there n nothing comparies to these boots. U need to take care of these boots but they are worth it. If u take care of them they will last u a life time. These boots are made in the USA. Not every boot from redwing is made in the USA but these are. These boots demand respect.

  So I just got my pair of boots, and primarily I got these boots for several reasons, I wanted something USA made, Price point not an issue for me, because you get what you pay for right? This boot is amazing on all fronts, Its just well made, yeah the break in period will probably destroy your feet, but once this process is done, nothing else will feel as comfortable, one other reason that I got this boot is because of the sole, I really wanted a boot that when the sole wears out I can bring it to a redwing store and they will be able to resole it, I live in Brooklyn and they have an official official Redwing store in Queens where you can have the shoe resoled,That was my primary reason, I had or better said have a pair of Timberlands and I've heard you can resole them, But Where? So there they sit lonely until I find that magical place to be resoled. But Back to Redwing, Yes you can have them resoled thats the magic of this shoe, Google it and you can probably find a center to do this, and if its not close by I'm sure you can contact them or send them in and they'll come back looking like new, The Redwing website is very helpful in this. Informative and you can also see other styles of boots you might like, But anyhoos, The boot is amazing , I'm looking foward to many years of this boot, I got the 8'classic, and I have a pair of 6" classic, ANd i will never ever go back to anything else. One small detail that left me perplexed although is the shoe lace it's not long enough so you might have to skip a couple of eyelets to reach the top of the boot, Well That's all folks!!! Hope this was helpful in making your choice, don't be afraid and take the plunge, and remember don't gripe about the blisters, theyl'll go away and if you don't like em, send em right back.HAve a great day folks!!

  I am usually a size 11-11.5 for nike shoes and vans shoes but for these boots you have to get your proper size. I had mine done with a machine at a redwing store whom sized me as a 9.5 double wide. This boot doesnt come in wide so i got a size 10 with a cushion insert since i needed the width. If you are not of a wide size dont go up in size even the size 10 is a little loose with my 9.5 foot but the cushion does make a great difference. So the boot does run large as i did order a 11.5 at first and had a boot that was waaaay too big for my foot so trust me in that you have to go lower on boot size. The boots are leather so they will be tight at first but they need to break in. For water proofing and break in purposes as soon as you get your pair apply mink oil and let that soak in for at least 12-24 hours. The break in process is painful and takes a little over a month, but leaves you with the most comfortable and most likely now your new favorite pair of footwear. I got the 8830 (copper)

  So for starters, if you plan on breaking in these boots it is recommended you size down a half size. I do not agree with this, because in the process of breaking in the boots, if you ever plan on putting an insole in the boots for comfort, no insole will fit if the boots are tight on your feet. Also, there will be some friction between your heel and the leather inside the boot, causing a nasty blister on your heel if the boots fit tight when you try and wear them and break them in. The boots are already very stiff, so why create more trouble by having them fit so tight. It all depends on how much pain you want to go through. Personally, I put an insole in the boots, exactly like the one in the Red Wing 1907.The outsole will also lose it's tread quickly. Typically for this type of outsole, the traction will wear away in about three months. Red Wing has received complaints of the soft outsole, but they still like to maintain the original outsole instead of a vibram sole. There is a 875 version with the vibram sole which is worth it. Also, the Red Wing 899 comes with a vibram sole as well.
