RED WING Moc Toes - LEGEND with a CAVEAT. 

Do they do it for free?

I am planning on getting this alteration done to my 877's as well. From what I hear, its worth the investment.

@@edyue1 They did for me. I bought them there but zero issues.

@@Vultain ok, they probably comped you on the speed hooks because you bought your boots from them. 🤔

@@edyue1 Possibly? From what I hear if they don't take care of it right then and there the Redwing will send them to the factory to be changed out for free. Downside of course is you are out your boots for a little while.

I believe it’s from Acne Studios.

Amazing, hopefully those recs are working out for you! Sure, it's the rib knit beanie from Acne Studios

@@MarkKwak Thanks! And for sure, your recommendations have served me well and every purchase has been worth it. In an age of social media where reviews are often bought or influenced, it's tough to find reviews and reviewers you can trust. Your channel introduced me to a lot of companies that I might've otherwise never heard about. Some of these companies might not have that mainstream "hype" or marketing, but the quality of their work is undeniable. And you give it to your audience straight -- "some of these items might be expensive, but you're getting what you pay for". Anyways, keep up the good work, I'll be on the lookout for any future items you review!

Oro Legacy looks pretty good as it patinas. But agreed initially that look isn’t for everyone. It settles into a burnt red with black wear and tear as you brush it overtime and wear it.

How much does the shifter mess with the left boot? Rubber or metal?

I have the heel shifter so I don't have to get my left boot all scuffed up. And I ordered heel and toe shifter extension to give me more room to move my foot around.

That’s Pacific Northwest not Midwest

I bought the Billy Boot in the same size as my Iron Rangers and my Rovers and find the Billy Boot a little bit to small, mainly to narrow. I should have gone up a half size. After a long brake in period they are oké but just some days they feel to small/narrow.

I agree with your other poster, I am an 11.5D in both feet and wear an 11D in medium weight wool socks in the last 23 (877 moc toe, etc.) In the Red Wing Iron Ranger and Blacksmith(last 8), I am a full size down and wear a size 10.5D. I recommend trying them yourself and find out.

Red Wing sells an identical boot in their workboot line the #10877.

@@thedemonnemo Correct the 877 patinas better where as the 10877 is a bit more stain resistant. Besides that just the stamp difference.

No, in fact I've found with my Iron Ranger pair of Red Wings that the leather will like to suck any water that splashes on em. Unless you thoroughly condition and "waterproof" them with some product

As long as you ain’t wading up to your knees you’ll be fine in em. Condition them in something that repels water. I haven’t had my feet get wet in mine yet and mine are 10 years old and hav even thru 2-3 re soles. I’ll warn you now tho, it’ll take a minute to break them in. Matter of fact you’ll probably hate them at first, but you have to push thru it and they’ll turn into the finest, most comfortable boot you’ve ever had on your feet.

Damn right. Just gotta get em out of the box and wear the hell out of them. Sweat in em a little bit. I don’t buy boots like some of these guys do to wear with a pair of skinny jeans around New York City. I buy them to work in, go out in, go to the mailbox in, whatever. All kinds of shit to get into in East Tennessee. They just need to wear em. They’ll break in faster. Love my 877s. Matter of fact I am about due another pair. My old pair has been rode hard and put up wet and they’ve about had it. Had them since 2013 or so. Worn them probably 90% of the time since. 2 or 3 re soles later and still kicking. Almost time to drive to Knoxville to the RedWing store for another pair. I’ve heard Thorogoods are good ones too, but idk if I could down grade from redwing like that. lol

They looked ugly to me a long time ago too... how my tastes have changed

I will say this, the 877 is far more comfortable than the last 8. It is a whole cut piece of leather that wraps around the back as opposed to the shorter 6” moc. In addition the 10877, 8830, and 877 all have a roomier toe box as opposed to the shorter moc. Comfort over style for me and you can always change the traction tred outsole(blown rubber Christie sole) once worn down, to the chemigum which is often used without a shank. The 877 as a whole really needs a shank if using the cork nitrile sole/mini lug/lug sole and from what the employee at Redwing told me they won’t do it. There are a few cobblers that will install a 3 ribbed shank, a leather midsole, and the outsole of your choice though.
