I've put it through the wringer

They do the thing!

you HAVE to know your size in THIS brand. I would not expect your boots to fit if you’re using a measurement from any other shoe company (unfortunate but that’s the world of boots) You HAVE to wear them in before complaining about comfort. You’ll know immediately if they’re just way too big or way too small but I’ve never had a pair of boots that end up feeling the way redwings do. I started out with the 875s and they are my perfect boot, after breaking them in there is literally nothing they can’t do for me. From single handedly curing my foot pain to making me look sharp on the job, these boots are just a winner. The reason I sprung for the shop Mocs too is because I simply got tired of taking them on and off all the time. It might sound ridiculous to some but the only thing I could wear to help with my foot pain were the redwings and I didn’t want to be lacing and unlacing these big ole boots to walk the dog or run to the corner store. That’s where the shop Mocs come in. I knew my size from my previous pair of boots (which I got measured for and purchased at a redwings retail store) and they fit exactly like the boots do which is terrific. Obviously no ankle support, obviously I need to break them in (which takes months), but right out of the box I knew I made a good call on these shoes and honestly, feels like I made a new best friend (please don’t tell my wife that I talk about boots as if they’re my friends). I’m not sure if I would love the shoe this early into owning them if I didn’t already love the boots. But now that I own both, and I know what to look forward to, I can rate the boots a 10/10 but the shoes are a 11/10. Just terrific!

Shoes are great

I purchased the Oro version. These will definitely need to be slowly broken in. But they are what I expected, and similar to work shoes I wore in 70s. I usually take a size 9 or 9.5. Other reviews mentioned they can run small, so I was glad I ordered the 9.5. The fit seems good but as I said time will tell once they break-in. They appear very well made and I pleased so far with the purchase. The price through Backcountry was about $30 cheaper than just about any other seller. I still think they are pricey, but the build quality of the shoes out of the box is impressive and in-line with my expectations. These were shipped FedEx but they delivered the shoes to the wrong address, sending me and Backcountry an email delivery notification having a picture of the delivery home (which wasn’t mine). After calling the fedex facility that loaded the actual delivery truck, I was able to get them deliver the shoes to my address same day. I wasn’t thrilled with Backcountry customer service on the phone. I first got a person that was not in the US. They really were of no help and difficult to speak to in English. A call to an actual person at Backcountry wasn’t much better in terms of what could be done immediately. I was told I needed to wait 48 hours before any investigation could be done. Calling FedEx, they told me the person shipping had to intervene and call. All I wanted Backcountry to do was to call FedEx and ask them to pick them up and deliver it the correct address. No, Backcountry would not. Good thing I was to get a phone number for the FedEx facility actually delivering the shoes to my home, no thanks to FedEx or Backcountry. I hope your shipping experience will be better.
