FAQs
How do I determine my size?
Red Wing boots typically run true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the Red Wing sizing chart. Consider the type of socks you plan to wear with the boots.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions or water.
Can I resole the boots?
Yes, the Goodyear welt construction allows for easy resoling. This extends the life of the boots significantly.
How do I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a brush and warm, soapy water to clean the outsole. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the boots are water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. Applying a leather protectant can enhance their water resistance.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Wear thick socks, such as wool or work socks, for added comfort and to help with the break-in process. The type of socks depends on the weather and the activity.
How long will the boots last?
With proper care and maintenance, the Red Wing Blacksmith boots can last for many years, thanks to their high-quality construction and resole-able design.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight initially.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods, gradually increasing the time. Use leather stretching products if needed.
Leather is scuffed or scratched.
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to address the imperfections. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out.
Outsole loses traction.
Clean the outsole regularly with a brush to remove dirt and debris. Consider resoling the boots if the tread is significantly worn.
