First ever pair of Chelsea Boots
I could't find these boots at any retail outlet close by my home. I took a chance and bought them on line. I know my Iron ranger size and my 1907 size so I took a chance and purchased the same size as my Iron Rangers. Initially, I almost sent them back. They were very difficult to take off and to put on and they were stiff as heck.... That was almost 3 months ago. Today they are soft and comfortable and much easier going on and coming off. I'm so glad I stuck with them!

Easy to Break-In
Got these as an early Christmas gift from my parents. They were a little snug at first (as they should be for anyone buying online) but after a long day of use they were super comfortable. I have some experience with Red Wings, I own the Iron Ranger and the Classis Moc. Out of those 3 the Classic Chelsea has been the easiest to break-in. The build quality is good.

Overpriced, Poor Quality
Bought these boots originally about a month ago. I have a pair of boots from a PNW boot maker that I love, but needed a Chelsea style boot for a work situation where I would need to take my shoes off and put them back on multiple times per day. That boot maker doesn't make a Chelsea, so I went looking elsewhere. I hadn't tried any Red Wing heritage products before, but had heard that people love the Iron Rangers and Moc Toe boots so I decided to give these a try since they seemed close to the type of boots I had come to like. Boy, was I wrong. I was confused when I first put the boots on. The foam insoles were topped with leather which was... odd for a heritage boot. I figured it was maybe to make the boots more approachable by adding some under-foot comfort and who doesn't like that? Once I got the boots home, I realized that the pair I was sold was actually two different sizes in the same box. The store claimed they were like that from the factory and seemed to struggle to figure out what to do about this. No big deal - they figured out they'd order me a new pair. That's fine. Except that it wasn't. The new pair I had received (and already paid for) had some obviously wacky stitching in the welt around the big toe on the right boot. Just cosmetic, I figured. But a defect nonetheless. So I wore them for a couple days until the boots tried to eat a hole through the back of my heel. I reached a hand in to make sure there was no debris or anything that would be making this happen only to find the debris was actually a piece of the boot. There's a sharp piece of plastic Red Wing is trying to pass off as a heel counter covered by the world's thinnest leather liner. That vicious heel counter feels like it's covered with a paper thin layer of leather. As I explored the boot, I realized the leather liner stops and becomes... synthetic something? I don't know what the toe liner material is. It would be possible to let any of these individual transgressions against the boot gods slide, but once those plastic heel counters announced themselves too loudly to ignore, it brings all the elements into focus in a way that makes me regret I bought these. For the price, I'd expect a heritage boot. Is Red Wing's heritage building boots with plastic parts? The thinnest possible linings? Switching to synthetic materials in places they don't expect people to look? Misplacing stitches with no apparent quality control? If so, Red Wing's heritage doesn't deserve to be carried on any further and definitely doesn't deserve another dollar of mine or yours. I added a star because the boots almost look nice (except for the wonky stitching) and the upper leather appears to be of decent quality.

Review after 3 years
I’ve owned these boots for 3 years now. For reference, I wear them about 6 months out of the year and a couple times throughout the summer time. Let me start by saying there really isn’t a “break in” period with these. Right out of the box, they are very comfortable. As you wear them, they obviously will mold to your foot bed. The quality is 8.7 out of 10. The elastic is starting to get pretty stretched out. The leather itself is awesome if you take care of it. Overall, I highly suggest buying this boot! Whether it’s dress up or just going to the store, these are perfect to slip on and go.

Very comfortable but runs big
Great shoe. Fits well. Tight to get my foot into through the stretch gussets but then when my foot is inside the shoe is bigger than my regular size 12. Should have sized down to a 11 1/2.

Comfortable boot, stylish, poor qc
Bought a pair of amber harness less than a year ago, very comfortable, very stylish boot. Really like that these can be dressed up or down. The break in period was really short for a traditional Goodyear Welted boot. Leather is top notch and has aged very well in the last 6 months with a nice patina from two or three conditionings with Red Wing leather cream. The one issue I have is the poor QC on multiple pairs - first pair I had were warrantied with a seam falling apart at the vamp after two weeks of wear, now this pair the elastic on is coming apart, both boots have this issue. Would still recommend these boots! Solid 4.5 and I love em, just wish the QC would get stepped up.

Most comfortable redwings
I’ve been wearing these for only two weeks and I don’t want to take them off they’re so comfortable. I was on the fence about getting these, but I couldn’t be happier with them. I’m a size 8.5 in Iron Rangers and a 9 in these and other Redwings - the longer I have these the better they look and feel to me, great boots!

Not as well built as Grant Stones, but still good
No significant flaws in the construction. The inner lining is purely synthetic, so be aware of that. The insole appears to be a few layers of foam and leather stuck to the midsole instead of stitched. The shoe is comfortable overall. It isn’t as considered and well constructed as Grant Stones, which I have a few of as well. Oh well, it’s still better than most footwear these days

Unique Chelsea
I don’t typically like the Chelsea style, but these in black with the wedge sole hit different. They look very modern and straddle the line between work and dress boot perfectly. Amazing quality for the price. My first pair of redwings, impressive quality. I wear a 13 in most sneakers, size 12 on these fit me perfectly.
