If you're new to Redwing or a returning customer you know that the break in period for these boots are extensive, almost like sticking your bare feet into cinder blocks, rough and stiff and just MISERABLE. But I have a hack to cut the 2 week time in half!When you order these boots, hop on over and order Huberd's Shoe Oil as well. Also, get yourself some nice insoles (redwings are bare footbed). When they all arrive, lather the OUTSIDES of the boots (remove laces for best results) with a rag or brush, with a generous amount of Huberd's (color will change but not for good) Then, (get this) get yourself a regular ol' men's hand lotion (not paste) later your hand up real nice and stick your hand IN the boot and lather all around, not a ton now just enough to make a difference(more that you would use on your hands normally but not enough for a whole body), on the heel and tongue, feel free to add but remember you can't remove what is already done. Replace the laces. Then comes the kicker.......heat your oven to 175-185 place on (clean) center rack and bake (not convection) for 12 minutes without insoles. When timer dings, remove and quickly add insoles, make sure you have on a nice thick sock, place on feet and tie tight. Walk around until cool. Repeat 2-3 times as needed. Ive used this trick to break in baseball gloves and Ice hockey goalie mits. Take care of these boots and they will last forever. Hope this helps!

Here we go, I’m writing a review based on the 875vs10875 red wing moc toe boots that are similar but different. The small differences are the 10875 has black eyelets instead of nickel, has a logo stamp on the ankle, and a slight color variation.The big difference is the leather. The 875 has a more porous leather, when you condition the boot or use oil on the leather it gets darker and changes the leather over time to make a more rustic patina look. The 10875 has a waxier leather that doesn’t absorb oil as much which means it maintains the original color longer and looks less beat up when working. This is the reason the 10875 is available in the stores and the 875 is strictly heritage available mostly online. If you want the patina look go for the 875, if you want the color maintained go for the 10875. I have included a pic of my five year old 875’s which have been resoled twice with a black crepe sole vs my 10875’s which are brand new never worn. Other than what I mentioned they are identical boots and builds. They are rated as heavy duty workboots and pass electrical hazard standards. Both boots feel like you’re wearing fancy Italian leather shoes but they’re workboots, don’t be a sissy about the break in, even fancy Italian shoes have to be broken in and I don’t hear Wall Street guys complaining. Enjoy.

Very high quality boots for the price. This pair was an addition to some other Redwings so, not a new experience.Sizing: Once you’ve been sized, I’ve found that this moc toe boot, the blacksmith or iron ranger seem about the same for me. Break usually takes me a week of wearing around the house. Some folks wear double socks to speed that up but you could end up with boots that are too loose. If you wear Allen Edmonds and have a standard width foot, size down one half size. There are several videos and reviews on sizing. If at all possible, get sized each time at the store or you could be gambling. My Redwing 3141 work chukka fit better at actual size and did not get sized down. They were not too long and did not require much of any break in.Comfort: All of these boots are like slippers once you break them in fully. Amazing transformation. Proper sizing and break in is worth it.Cleaning: Once you are used to sizing, familiar with how to clean them, Redwings will last you a long time. Review some of the cleaning videos online. Be aware the wrong oil or conditioner will darken the leather. Bicks 4 is a good non darkening conditioner. Although some patina or darkening will still occur. Especially on the copper rough and tough.
