I just bought some redwings , they should arrive next week. I bought the 1102s. They lady at the store was very helpful. I will say their sizing is alittle strange. I wear a 10 in everything. I put their boots on and 10s were like clown shoes. Ended up with 9s. I have tried every boot manufacturer I could find locally-rocky, Carolina, Justin, they all broke down relatively quick. The Rockies sole same off. Twice. The first pair were replaced under warentee. We will see how these red wings do. I hope for 220 , they don't let me down.
