12/25/2023 0 Comments Red wing boots sizing![]() On a separate but related note, I have a newly acquired pair of Lofgren engineer boots in 9D. I have them and was happy with the initial fit, but I haven't broken them in yet. I ordered a Falcon, and was fit with a 9E. To answer you original question, I wear a 9D in Redwing Iron Rangers and Moc Toes, and a 9D in the Alden Barrie last. They also have a limited number of fit boots, so I think that increased the wait time, too. But I can see why you wouldn't want to do the at home trial if you live abroad. I also learned a lot about boot fit, which I thought was valuable on its own. I'd ask if they'll let you submit measurements without the trial boot. The trial boot they sent after submitting my measurements was spot-on. I recently did a fit at home WITH a trial boot. I thought they used to offer a "measure at home" option, without the trial boot being sent out. I would reccommend Watching these videos to get a better idea of what they consider a good fit. The tracings and fit suggestions (withouth try on boots) should not cost extra.ĭo note it's 2-4 months of waiting for a build on most products. For your situation, you can probable send them back to them on a PDF. I would suggest since it's your first time to download, print and complete foot tracings and complete all measurements. So generally down 0.5 to 1.0 size to Brannock device. I wear 10.5 - 11.5 C & D in Nick's/White's and 11.5D - 12.0D in Red Wing Iron Rangers, and athletic shoes. It should not really be compared to a tennis shoe for fit. Nick's and White's will look to size you for a "work fit" that is - a quite snug fit that allows the boot to do what it is designed to do - support your foot, arch, heel, ankle and lower leg while working in backcountry conditions. Perhaps it would help if you state your current shoe sizes and preferances. These are not something you approach such as buying a a pair of boots off a shelf in a store. These boots are too long lasting and too expensive to get the wrong size. Follow their fit guide, send measurements, and get a trial pair. I would do the same if I went directly through Nick's, White's, or Wesco. I then out them on for 25 minutes and called them and talked about the fit. The staff at Baker fit me based on that form and sent me a trial pair. I went through their fit process, which involved printing their custom form, tracing my foot, and having some measurements taken by my wife. If you want White's or Wesco's I would call Baker shoes (I am a customer with great experiences, no compensation will come to me). If you want Nick's I suggest you call them and ultimately spend the extra bit of cash to get a guaranteed custom fit. Basically, they are 0.5-1.0 sizes smaller than your Bannock. I wear size 13 in athletic shoes (New Balance, Merrill, Adidas, etc.) and wear 11.5 D in Red Wing, 11.5 E in White's (semi dress last), and 12 D in Wesco Packers. While I don't have Nick's, I have Red Wings, White's, and Wesco's and am very into custom and Goodyear welted boots (I have 8 pairs).
