Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc

How did I sleep on these classics?

I got into better footwear couple years ago with some Iron Rangers 8111 after wearing vans and chucks for maybe 20 years. After these I tried, bought and sold countless models and makers from other Red Wings over higher end handwelted made in japan boots and also some mto's. I now found my way back to the "og" and wonder why I never had some 875s in the past. I may got caught in the chase of something better, newer, more rare and forgot how great these boots already are. I am looking forward to wear them the next months.

They fit like a glove like that. My right pinky gets a little pressure after long days of wear but this is already getting better after two weeks and will probably go away soon

Why I own this

Custom

I made my journey through the world of wellmade footwear in the last couple years but never tried one of the OG's: the 875 classic moc I wanted to proof myself that it does not always have to be mto handwelted crazy leather 1000$ boots. Stick with the basics and see how far we can go
