Amen to us ladies not minding the break-in period!! I just want a strong, durable boot. I hate having to wonder if companies are short-changing us by swapping some of the standard "men's" materials to softer, cheaper ones because they've decided that women can't handle the break-in. And since I have a very wide foot, I have to worry about the women's sizing being more narrow than the men's equivalent. Make the boots unisex, then create another "comfort" line if you must.
It does annoy me that the Black Boundary leather is thinner (and cheaper feeling/looking) and the women’s boot doesn’t have a leather insole, and yet it is priced the same as men’s.
It’s very durable and easy to break in. But I agree that I wish the leather on the footbed was thicker. I suppose they’d consider it but know most women would complain about the break in.
Darlin' are the Women's boots the same width as the Men's boots in a D width? On the RW website, the women's Moc Toe are B widths. Did you special order a Women's 4D?
The women’s boots are a B width, except for the Oro Legacy 6” Moc toe and the Amber Harness Iron Ranger which are also available in a D width for women. I did not special order mine. They are an old pair I found from when Red Wing used to make them in small sizes for men.
Great video. I have pair of 9075 in 9.5 d mens. 11/17 build date, mine don’t have the red wing logo. I don’t believe it was common on the 9075 before they discontinued this boot 👍🏻
@@DenimDarlin You’re welcome. I haven’t yet, I haven’t spent a heap of time on them the past few years. I got a lot of mileage on my 875s, but want to do more in the 9075. I got wind of them being discontinued and was my main reason to buy them at the time, as I love the black harness leather. 🫶🏻
The traction thread sole for red wing heritage boots is the worst, for the price you pay, the company could do better with the sole, I replaced my original Moc Oxford sole with the cork Vibram outsole giving the shoes a unique look, love your presentation and information.
Im a redwings freak, and i wish i could wear more redwing models and colors, but my problem is im 12 eee, and not too many of them come in that size. Thank you for your videos they're super informative and entertaining, and im always waiting for your next one.
@@DenimDarlin I got them in 2017. But I got them in 10 1/2 D but I wear 10 D So they are a little big on me so I don’t wear a much and if I do, I have to wear thick socks then they fit perfect
