Red Wing Heritage Blacksmith 6-Inch 3345 Men's Boots Size 8D

I love my Iron Rangers and wanted a black pair of boots and figured the Blacksmiths would be just as comfortable given they are almost identical in build. Honestly, I love these just as much and actually found them easier to break in, no suffering at all…zero. I own three pairs of Red Wings. Since I rotate their use, and I'm in my late 50s, I can tell these boots are going to outlive me… for real.

I expected a break-in period but these blacksmiths were comfortable out of the box. Soft but supportive and the fit was perfect for me. No chafing, roomy but not loose. The traction was good even in wet weather. And they are fine to wear even during hot and humid days where I live. Chose the copper rough and tough because I think the look is so classic and understated. Love the versatility as well. Can use them with just about every pair of pants and (even shorts) in my closet. I wear them almost everyday and feel they'll stand up to all the walking I do. Well worth the price and looking forward to picking up more Red Wing boots down the line.
