Red Wing

I normally wear a 9.5 Wide. Since this shoe does not come in wide widths, I ordered a 10M to see how it would fit. I am pleased with the construction and quality of the shoe. The width in the 10M is plenty wide for me, but I was concerned that the toebox seemed it might be a little long. So I ordered a 2nd pair in 9.5M to compare. The width in the 9.5M was a little more narrow than that of the 10M, but I could have made do with them. The issue with the 9.5M was that the heel began to rub after about 15 minutes of only sitting in them - no walking! I returned the 9.5M and began wearing the 10M. I have worn them on several occasions and for many hours at a time. They are quite comfortable and the toebox length does not seem to be an issue for me, even with very thin socks.

Everyday wear boots. They were comfortable from day one.

First, I will say that these are VERY comfortable supportive shoes which is the reason I am keeping them, BUT, I have to now put up with the loud popping noise that you can hear from both shoes every time I put my foot down in a step. It's quite annoying if I'm walking by myself in the quiet woods but if in a noisy area, I forget about it. I don't know if this is a defect but since I didn't know this until I wore them, I now can't exchange them for another pair because I've worn them outside. Regarding the size, I normally wear an 11.5 to get a perfect fit but these are an 11 and fit great with plenty of toe room.
