Red Wing Porter Leather Shoes - Chukkas (For Men)

They Red Wing Porter is a good looking shoe and appears to be well made. Unfortunately, I had to return them. The collar came right up to the underside of my ankles, and caused rubbing. They either need to be a little higher and cover the ankle (like the Chukkas) or a little lower cut below the ankle. I did purchase the Red Wing Outback and they fit nicely.

This is a casual shoe, not a work shoe. The last is just plastic resin poured over the Vibram sole. There is no shank. Because the top is not thick leather, the shoe has a short break-in period. The tounge is skinny, not padded, and only connected at the bottom. I wear these with arch support insoles, which also provides cushioning. I got these on sale with free shipping, so I with those discounts the price is right for what they are.

it is nice shoes for the money. they did seem a little too width. I got these on sale [...], so I with those discounts the price is right for what.

I have 5 pair of chukkas and this pair is the best. To top it off...they were almost 50% off [...] I'm a regular customer now.

I purchased this shoe because of the Redwing name and the offering in wide width. I have problem feet and need to have a wide shoe with a wide toe-box and good support. This is not that shoe. There is little to no arch support built in and it runs narrow for the wide width it is suppose to be. Because of this, I had to return them today. I have other pairs of Red Wings that fit great with great support, but this shoe is not one of them. If you have average feet with good arches and are looking for a casual business shoe for kahkis or jeans, this would be a good choice.
