5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the nices boots I've ever owned!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Wing Shoes Men's 6" Gentleman Traveler Boot (Apparel)
Very nice, high quality boots -- made the old fashion way! Could not find any errors / defects in craftsmanship. Stiching all looks good! Full grain leather, not too stiff, but quite thick and supple. I choose the Black Cherry color -- very, very pretty -- goes very well with Khaki colored pants, also jeans. In the dark, they almost look black, but in good light, the cherry color really comes through.
As for the fit, I found the boots comfortable right out of box, a bit of heel slippage, but not overly so -- As these wouldn't be an everyday shoe for me, and I didn't want to go through a lengthy break in process, I ended up strapped them on, and then did some jumping jacks, lunges, and all other sorts of excercise with them on, oh, for about an hour, worked up quite the sweat, but hey, boots are now nice and borken in. Very comfortable, no blisters, break in was NOT bad (like I said, do some heavy wearing for about an hour or two, and you should be fine.) As for sizing, I'm usually a 10.5 - 11 in sneakers, and I got these in a 10D, and they fit perfect. They do come unsoled, so I ended up buying some padded insoles, but found they just make the boot too tight -- now after breakin, they don't need them at all -- like I said, very comfortable. I paid for my pair $210.00 with free shipping & NO tax through an Amazon merchant -- you can't beat that price and for the money, these are very high quality, long lasting boots, made in the US of A -- these are not some cheaply made, trendy style, sissy boots, but rather, a rugged, classically styled boot with exceptional build quality, and character. Highly recommended!

Work boots with style need breaking in,

I bought these to use as motorcycle boots but also for their style and reputation. The break-in period has been painful but only lasted a week or so. A friend noted they do not ship with insoles so you'll have to buy those separately. You'll want a good pair of insoles from a hiking store not the pads you buy at the drug store.
One warning: I noticed a huge number of black marks on the floors in my house and traced it to these boots! I'd give them 4 stars for style, 3 for comfort, and 4 for value. Update September 2009: These are by far the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. I liken them to wearing a pair of cinder blocks. If I walk in them for any longer than 15 minutes I'm limping, and longer than that and I need a week to heal my ankles. Maybe I'm old (early 30s) but all the weight is at the bottom and there's a lot of it. I rarely walk in them because they are my motorcycle boots but recently I was given a pair of proper motorcycle boots as a gift and these are getting thrown in the closet for the next time I need form over function.

A Suggestion, Not a Review,
By Robespierre (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Wing Shoes Men's 6" Gentleman Traveler Boot (Apparel)
Here's the solution to the complaint of discomfort made by an earlier Amazon reviewer:
Most males who buy these boots should size down by at least one-half. I'm a 9 in a normal American shoe, but 9D would have been too big (and "heavy," as the earlier reviewer complains). It has been six months since I purchased mine and, so far, 8 1/2 has been perfect. About the sizing issue: My solution isn't original. Knowledgeable salespeople tend to recommend sizing down, as have many people in style forums for men. Since Red Wings are common and can be found even in mall stores, it's a good idea to try on a few pairs to see which feels best. If you're a net-only customer, a half size down tends to work. Of the three color options, the cherry red looks best to me with jeans. 2115|R2LPZBE6TL0D1A;2115|RZHT469W45JR5;2115|R3GLVSQX7MSBIR;
