Thorogood was my first moc toe. I am a big fan now, and frankly they are the most comfortable boots I have ever have my feet in. Give them another chance. Take care.
@@Wingsnthings23 Fun idea get some Goretex Thorogoods and do a custom revamp. Get them resoled with a real leather goodyear welt.... I am waiting for mine to be done...
the 8875 is the Irish setter red but not lined just FYI i don’t like the lined 2 reasons 1- to hot & 2- the lining will break free and and acted/feel the a big lose sock. so check out the red wing 8875. thanks for sharing
I bought some Thorogood boots to give them a chance but they felt cheap, the leather was not comparable to Red Wings. I returned them and got Redwing Moc Toe. Happy I did.
Nice! Glad to see your collection. The wedge sole IR and the classic Chelsea where marketed wrong. They cheapened the foot bed, in an attempted to make a easy break in, while calling it "heritage" and didn't disclose those changes untill they were getting called out on the grounds of false advertising. Had they just stepped into a comfort heritage line/ hybrid heritage it would have been accepted by the "boot community" more openly I think.
@@Wingsnthings23 yeah, the video from stride wise was good, but unfortunately I feel it was a PR reaction more than anything. I don't mind the Chelsea under foot. I don't like feeling lied to even by omitted information. And they knew what they were doing was wrong, or they would have been transparent about those materials well before the video. It's a principal matter. I question the ethical values behind that company now, and unfortunately these days as a consumer placing your money behind companies that match your values is almost as important as the quality of product or service they provide. I personally watched them starve out my local franchise store that had been in that family for 50 years, until my friend had to rename the business, and take on different brands, and completely lost redwing.
@@igylan they are all size 9. I wear a 9.5 in a tennis shoe and regular style shoes. My traction tread sole iron rangers are actually 8.5. So a full size down. You really have to try them on, and take into consideration aftermarket insole and socks you are going to wear
@@Wingsnthings23 thank you sir. I need to size a half size down for iron rangers right? I have an 875 Mocs in size 9.5 US. I want to purchase IR next, unfortunately we don’t have Redwings store where I live so I have to purchase online. Thank you once again.
How to stretch out a boot? Use a shoe tree and spray mist the leather to get it wet. Repeat process adjusting show tree. Or try wearing them and lightly cover them with water mist. YOU can do it ! wear socks to make more of adjustment. There is also a video on how to break in boots by a couple cobblers. Search YT
If you like the 8084's the 8086 is a Charcoal rough and Tough color like a dark grey and looks kind of like your used 8084's when clean 👍also nice collection.
Your collection is very nice. However, I'm very surprised that your 8863 are so uncomfortable to you. I agree on how comfortable the iron rangers are. My most comfortable are my 8113 muleskinner iron rangers. But, I love my 8810 abilen moc toes which are basically the same as your 8863 just a different color. They have been comfortable from the start for me and the more they break in the more comfortable they become. Anyway, great video and love the IH shirt.
7:38 The same thing with Thorogood I couldn't believe they didn't have someone smart enough to relast the design larger to accommodate steel toes or goretex liners. But its not like these are made in America. Even thorogood is making most if not every part overseas.
Good day sir, i myself very interest in the goretex moc toe version so your video just hit my curiosity hard. So please let me get it clear, because of the waterproof lining, it make less room on your feet ? I have several pair of redwing moc toe, 875, 8847 and 1907 and my normal Redwing size is 8,5 but because of the footbed come with the 1907, i go size 9 and it fit perfectly. Do you recommend to go half size up for the goretex version as well ?
For my break in I'm sat watching TV squishing, bending, rolling, poking from the inside, prodding the outside, karate chopping the leather with my hands.. its considerably faster than break in walking, 15 minutes a boot has done more than 3 hours of walking to soften the leather up.. try it, your hands can easily gauge the softness happening as you switch boots.. I could barely move the leather with my thumb, now I can move it with my pinky finger..
I’d throw a set of those boot badges on my pair of work thorogoods. If you want to get rid of a set or two let me know. I could care less what brand is on the back.
The 8084s are my introducing to Red Wings. I snagged them for 30% off. I'm wondering if I should get a pair of wedge soles if I can find a similar deal or if I should save up for one of the higher end brands.
Are you making a short or video? Why have you made a video in portrait!! If you are watching it in a TV it looks rubbish. Think about how you present - it looks rubbish and is off putting for what is not bad content………

Nice collection, I have a huge red wing collection. If you like the Oro russet color, but don’t like the gore-Tex I would recommend the 8875.
Will look into thanks

Well the stride wise video I felt explained it just fine. Doesn’t bother me lol!

That is one mighty fine collection of boots. Very nice. Thank you for taking the time to show them.
Thank you for watching
@@Wingsnthings23 Very welcome
Are your RW iron rangers and moc toes of the same size?

That Red Wing Blacksmith is my favorite boot. I may get a pair in black now seeing that color dirty.

Thanks for the comment. I just made another video after I’ve been wearing them another two weeks. Way more comfortable now.
Mine, too. Weird.

I have moments when I don’t like certain boots I have. Then out of nowhere I try them on again and boom! I’m wearing them consistently. Great vid!
That’s exactly what happens to me! Thanks for the comment
Thanks for your time and video. Would you say the wedge type sole is more cushioned than other soles?
Yes I’m a huge wedge sole fan. That’s what I wear most days
I like your idea of the boot badges
Thank you!
Love your video that's so great do you sell any your boots that you don't want? ❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I’m about to put a few on eBay next week I think. The sizes may be big for me. And I want money to buy new ones :)
The keeper on the end of a shoelace is called an aglet.

Can you just send the website off of the back, then sell them?
No but I might get some printed soon
Own any non clown boots?
What’s a matter? You don’t like clown? Don’t we make you laugh? Aint we fuckin funny?
8089 what is problem? We want leather upper, >leather insole
The black iron ranger was just too shiny at first, but a little dirt solved the problem :) one day I will get nicks…when I can afford it
@@Wingsnthings23 👍
