Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc
S.B. Foot Hawthorne AbileneIt’s been three months of almost daily wear in mostly urban environments with some hikes and home projects sprinkled in, and the leather is developing some really nice character. I’m liking how the crocking has highlighted the ankle rolls a bit more over the past month. Three more to go!

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.See background
Why did you choose this item?
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.
How did you determine your size?
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).
What was the ordering process?
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.
