Shop Moc Oxford Legacy Leather Shoe

This was my third pair of red wings oxfords. Fourth pair of red wings. The construction has changed and not for the better. They seem wider and my heels slip. I thought that they may just need to “break-in” like the previous pairs -eventually molding to my feet. Two years later, they have not improved. Heels still slip, resulting in blisters if the job requires a great deal of walking, like today. Just ordered my first pair of shoes that are not red wings in 10 years.

Read too many reviews telling me to go “up” in sizes, which I couldn’t they don’t make 14 in this one for immediate sale. I’m glad I didn’t have the choice. 13 fit me like all 13 size boots do. No “clown” effect. Comfortable, I have Hokas and on cloud shoes, for all day comfort, I’m not talking walking for hours on end, I’m talking desk job where I get about 5,000 steps in, in overall comfort by the end of the day, my feet do not hurt anymore or less. I love em glad I bought em.

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!
