Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc
S.B. Foot Alpine PortageA quick switch to leather laces for their first wear today since I've found that usually helps to break in boots a little faster. Now to decide if it was worth dragging them around Norway for the past week so I could hit the ground running on Day 1 of the Thunderdome!

Why did you choose this item?
I was born and raised in Minnesota, just an hour from Red Wing's HQ. As long as I've been interested in boots, I've been wearing Red Wings. After expanding my color palate from the usual black and browns, I've been looking for a good green boot that still offers some versatility. Enter the Red Wing 8288 Moc Toe in Alpine Portage leather. I'd wanted a pair of iconic Moc Toes for awhile but this was the first pair I really wanted.
How did you determine your size?
I'm usually a 9.5D in most brands but take a full size down for Red Wings. I tried a 9D just to be safe but the 8.5D just felt right.
