Classic Moc^® Excalibur Leather Boot

Bought these 5 months ago. Most beautiful pair of boots I've ever owned in my 48 years. They take awhile to break in because they're made with thick quality leather. I wore a thicker pair of socks with these for the first 3 months. They still look like I just bought them. Wish I could afford to own every single color. Expensive but you're getting a boot that will outlast you if you're only wearing them casually instead of work. For work I recommend the Tred Lite series.

I have worn a pair of Red Wing 9111s for over a decade now, I love them and they fit me like a glove. I decided it was time for a new pair of boots. I got a pair of the 8847 and somehow, magically, the last is even more comfortable for me. Not that the other pair was uncomfortable in any way, but somehow these 8847s just felt so perfect right away. I'm now a month in of near daily use and they are getting better and better. Red Wing is the real deal. Find the last that works for (both work for me, but the no 8 of my older pair has been surpassed by the no 23 of my new) I liked these boots so nice I bought them twice - I bought a pair of 877s after I fell in love with how the 8847s felt.

Just received the Black Cherry version. Not my first pair, and I am already trying to decide which one will be my next. But for the life of me, I don't understand why they don't offer more of these with the big Vibram Lug soles (i.e Roughneck). Those are so much better in the winter if you live in the north country. If Red wing was really sharp, they would have some kind of configuration tool like other premium bootmaker's have and people could design their own from a pre-determined pallet of materials.
