These boots are in good shape other than the insides are starting to wear out at the heel. I’m a 10.5 and I threw them on and tightened them up and I didn’t feel anything wrong; they’re comfortable and definitely already broken in. The outsides are structurally sound and in great shape, but they look like something was spilled on them. They could be scrubbed and treated, but that’s a personal preference for work boots.

The wind up cords are in perfect shape and work great. You can get them pretty tight and they stay there until you pop up the reel. There’s still a lot of rubber on the soles and leather on the toes.

These Red Wing boots have plenty of life left in them.

Kept in main closet.
