Sizing & Fit Advice: Red Wing boots typically run larger than standard UK sizes. It's recommended to size down by half to one full size for the best fit. The No. 23 last provides a roomy toe box, accommodating a range of foot shapes.
Care Tips: To maintain the leather's appearance and longevity, regularly clean the boots with a soft brush to remove dirt. Apply a leather conditioner suitable for oil-tanned leathers to keep the material supple. Avoid excessive moisture and allow the boots to dry naturally if they become wet.
