RED WING Boots SIZING Guide | Get Your CORRECT Size

In this Red Wing boots sizing guide, you'll learn exactly how your Red Wing boots should fit.

For most people, Red Wing boots fit a half-size larger than your sneaker size. So if you’re normally a size 11 in sneakers, order a size 10.5 in Red Wing boots. If you have a more narrow foot, you should get a full size smaller, as Red Wing boots tend to have plenty of room in the toes. For people with wider feet, still order a half-size smaller, but in the Red Wing EE/EEE width.

went to a redwing store today and tried on iron rangers. always been an 11.5 wide and they put me in a 9.5 E. it was straight up painful, not just uncomfortable, and they looked hilariously small. but the clerk was adamant and wouldn’t entertain any other sizes. this video helped confirm he was out if his mind.

For those with LOW insteps and NARROW feet (I have both), I had to get 1.5 size smaller from my sneakers to my Iron Rangers. They still have a lot of room in the toebox but any size smaller may cause me discomfort. If I use thin socks they fit very loose.

Like so people see. I wish someone had told me before I returned them twice.

I went and got my first pair of RW’s today at their store, my feet measured out at 9.6 and 9.2 EE with extremely high insteps. The best fit for me was an 8.5 EE in the 1907’s without the added insole. Everything else felt too long or too narrow. I suggest getting to a store if you can, it is worth the drive.

I went with 1 size down in my iron rangers and regretted it. They are too short in my toes. When new it seemd fine but after first creased happend they got to short. Sides and heel were perfect and it got me

Crazy, experiences will most definitely vary. I normally wear a size 10 in sneakers but when I went to the redwing store to purchase my 8111s I ended up getting a size 8.5. 4 years later and its my everyday boots, I literally do everything from walks with the family to hiking/hunting. The only time I don't wear my iron rangers is when I go on trail runs, that's what my On running shoes are for.

What brand of shirt are you wearing and where did you get it. Very cool.

The more research I do, the more I realize the salesman at a redwing store sold me my moctoes a half size too big. They’ve always been loose. My Beckmann were a full-size smaller than normal and fit perfectly.
Thanks for making this video!

At 5:07 you mention that "it is a number 23 last, so its a little bit different, its a little bit smaller, a little bit shorter, the toe box is a little bit lower." Then at 5:33 you said, "the number 23 last again is built a little bit larger as larger than sneaker." They seem ambiguous. So, which is the correct information in this regard?

Can't thank you enough for this William! I have been wanting a pair of Iron Rangers for a very long time, and picked up a paid of 11's at my local boot shop. I felt they fit pretty good (they didn't have other close sizes in store to try on) and I went with it. It slowly crept in my head that maybe I should have gone with another size. Called the store up as I sat on my living room floor with them on, and asked the chances of finding a 10.5 to bring in. Thankfully they were able to and I tried them on. Like I said, the 11's felt pretty good and maybe could have worked but wow - the 10.5's are like an absolute glove. Did the swap and life is good. Thanks!

I’m an 11d brannock and 11d on red wing’s machine and my size 11d iron rangers fit perfectly 👍

[olivereyre]

It might also depends how you wear them, I often add inner soles, also riding motorbikes in winter I sometimes use thinker socks. I normally wear 8 and went for a 7.5 that fits perfectly but forget plush inner sole or thick socks.
Ideally I’d need two pairs! 😊

[markmullen]

If you're able, try them on in person at a store. Try a half size and full size smaller. Walk around in the store with both pairs laced up the same. Once you wear them outside, you can't return them. Once you get the right size and break them in, they're worth EVERY penny.

Great video!! Regarding Iron Rangers, it’s been painstakingly laborious to say the least for me to nail down the right size. I’m new to the heritage world, so I’ve put all my trust into the employees…
Brannock US 10.
Originally the store tried to get me into 8.5’s. I use Superfeet orthotic inserts (for arch support)with thin (zero cushion) wool blend socks which I brought and wore to store and tried on boots with. They said it was my size although it felt pretty darn tight. Purchased, wore at home… 30 minutes in, hot spots showed up to the party. Removed inserts, relief. Tried again the following day, same thing. No good.
Returned to store and exchanged for 9’s (one full size down from brannock). Felt better but toes were still scrunched where I could barely wiggle them. Again, I go back feeling embarrassed that I’m there again after being “measured/ assessed” multiple times… But something just wasn’t right and I didn’t want to invest in a painful future with ill fitting boots. A manager sits me down and did more elaborate fit testing and confirmed I was definitely a 9.5 with inserts. He measured me again on the brannock and did a heel to ball of foot measurement as well as identified where my arch was. Low and behold he was spot on. I told him privately that no one had fitted me like this before in any Red Wing store. And why that was? He says that since covid and new hires, policy changed and customer service was less personalized. But he said that he’s been training his staff the old tried and true manner. I thanked him but also wished I would’ve gotten this service the first time I came in. It would’ve saved me a lot of anguish and uncertainty with the multiple miss sizing I went through.

In summary, I went 1/2 size down with inserts. Had I not needed inserts, then 1 full size would’ve worked just fine.
On the bright side, I went all in on YouTube and learned so much from all of the videos and comments from people’s personal experiences. 🙌🙌Thought I’d share mine…

Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉

I am 9.5 d near e in brannok. Went with halfsize down for my iron rangers, feels a little long though, but the width was perfect. Tried Full size down from brannok my toes touched the front of the boot.

After spending ludicrous amounts of money and time and pain sizing incorrectly, this is the #1 video that could be made for an entry level boot guide. A more advance guide could do with arch, volume, heel to ball, heel to toe, sock weight, and in-step. Overall awesome video and I look forward to what you come out with next!

As for myself I’m currently trying to find myself a factory first 8085 11D in stock somewhere…

[stuartconnelly]

I just got mine which is a half size smaller than normal. However I did notice that if you smooth out the tongue around your foot before you lace up then you get a better fit, otherwise it just bunches up. Making sure that the laces are tighter at the front and your heal does not slip. So far so good, looking forward to wearing my first pair.

[jpaquette]

Great review, I have a pairr of the Thursdays .. Off topic.. where did you get that shirt?

[stkast]

I bought mine red wing Iron Ranger from an online store. I was advised by the Red Wind store to measure the length of my foot and get the size that corresponds to the measurement. The boot fit my foot perfectly, after a proper and difficult break-in.

[Brentatious]

Sizing across shoe brands and types is crazy. I wear 12.5 Salomon trail shoes for recreation/fitness but a 10.5 EE for my iron rangers. Tried the 11’s but felt like I was walking in dive fins.

[prestontylerjarvis]

Bought a pair of iron rangers in 10.5 D about two years ago and I figured they would “break in” by now but I can barely move my toes inside the boots. I typically wear a 12 in Nike shoes for reference. The boots aren’t uncomfortable but I feel like maybe they are a half size too small?
