Why did you choose this item?
Formal Occasions
Style
I’m excited to see how the Teak Featherstone ages and patinas. I’m used to ‘babying’ these type of boots but for this competition, I’m ready to give them a beating.
How did you determine your size?
220 Last: 8.5DUS Men's Brannock: 8.5D
Trial Shoe
Tried On
Through trial and error, I’ve found the perfect size for the 220 Last. It’s 0.5 size up from the 23 last of the Moc Toes.
What was the ordering process?
Purchased from eBayTotal cost: 300 USD
Online Store
Found these for a great price on eBay. They came in their original box with paper netting, giving them that luxury feel right out of the fancy box.
Use & wear
Office Work
Leisure
So far, they’ve been my daily wear to the office and out and about doing errands.
Leather
S.B. Foot Teak Featherstone
Break-In
I’m interested to see how the shiny leather either fades or wrinkles to show the wear of the leather.

Satisfied with the Fit
I like the room my toes have to spread out. I was expecting a tighter toe box but I am pleasantly surprised by the roominess.

Love my Iron Ranger in Amber Harness!
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Amber HarnessBy MichaelCarpenter • April 5, 2024"While at work I have worn these while getting a new chiller operational, and ended up splashing around in a lot of water. The Vibram mini lug sole with no slip features was very helpful. I also moved vacuum pumps to my shop for maintenance. I spend a lot of time at my desk writing software, or working on electronic equipment that is malfunctioning. I went on a trip to Michigan where I was able to do some hiking in the snow and cold. They performed very well. I could have used some slightly thicker socks though. Traction was very good in the snow as well...."Read the full review

Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Alpine PortageBy amekajihead • April 1, 2024"I made a commitment to myself to wear this every single day even if it’s just for 100 steps to take out the garbage. I wore them to work, casual hiking, and I sometimes went for a short run in them (though it was definitely not comfortable…). I also went on a few international trips (Japan and Florida) in them:)..."Read the full review
