Shop Moc Oxford Prairie Leather Shoe

These are my most worn Red Wings. I wear them so much! There is a little slippage for sure, but the comfort is the same as the 6" boots. I think the reason for the slippage is due to the fact that it lacks a shaft, they are heavy for shoes, and you can only crank down the laces so much. There is a strange thing with mine as well, the leather insole on my left one is a tad narrower than the rest of the space, so the ball of my foot feels the edge of the shoe, but it is just a slight annoyance and hasn't changed my thoughts on the shoes overall.

I love the way this shoe looks and feels. It is heavy duty construction; the leather is a little stiff at first but breaks in nicely and the shoe gets more comfortable as you wear it. I wear a D and it was true to size for me. Great shoe for no matter what your activity is. Made in USA the way they should be.

I really enjoy these shoes, they are a little rough in the beginning, but it's because it's designed to last a very long time. Even though these are meant for work, I do plan on ordering another pair for going out. I just wish the bottom was black instead of white, but they still look great. Please keep these shoes still in production because I really enjoy them, and I still want to purchase another pair in the future.

The leather is robust and takes time to break-in. I used the same break-in process for these as I did for my 875's and 1907's. Start with good sock and very short walks and I do mean short. I've found to brake-in the RED WING's so they're comfortable it takes about 240 hours. After 240 the shoe become very comfortable. First 100 hours are the worst due to the stiffness of the leather. If you walk too much in new shoes your feet will: get raw sore and may bleed. Don't ask me how I know. After the break-in Red Wing become one with your foot! I ask RED WING for one thing. In your line of shoes and boots please include an option for choosing something other than a D width. RED WING for some unknown reason manufactures many models of shoes which are limited to D width only. That would be like buying a new truck and the only color option is white or you could choose white or maybe white. It won't work.

I'm in my third year of wearing these. The reason I'm writing the review is that I feel these don't get enough love. In person they look much better than on photos, I remember that I sort of just skipped over when I first saw them online. The oxfords are much easier to put on and look great, so I tend to wear them more often than any of my heritage boots. The outsoles are great for comfort but they do wear quicker than other types, at least that's my experience. All in all, a highly recommended product. I hope that Red Wing will reissue oxford versions of Beckman's or Blacksmith's. Once "boot guys" try the oxford versions they want both.
