Built to withstand stunt work!

Even though the wedge sole look is not my thing, and the 23 last was not the perfect fit for my foot shape, the Redwing 8833 has been a great boot that has held up really well to everything I’ve put it through. I’m sure I’ll continue wearing these for years to come (probably with a second insole). This journey through my first thunderdome has taught me a lot about my boot preferences and will inform my future purchases. Looking forward to next year!

More about this item

Had a tiny amount of heel slip when I first bought them but after a few days of wear the boot broke in and the heel slip went away. Break-in was relatively easy for this boot. No major discomfort.

Style

I saw several photos and posts of the boot and really liked the light color of the Abilene. It seemed like a perfect boot to daily for the thunderdome since it could pair well with most denim and pant colors. I also enjoyed how the boot patinas even though it’s a Roughout.

Online Guide

Community Advice

Brannock Measurements

I used a combination of sources to determine my size, I looked up comments on Reddit, took advice from YouTube videos, and compared their comments to how I fit in other boots. Ultimately I went into my local Red Wing store to try on another boot with the 23 last (they didn’t have the Abilene in stock).

Online Store

I ordered these online through red wings website. They immediately shipped the boots and I received them a few days later. Pretty seamless if you ask me.
