It's winter boot time

They’re the same boots? Wow.

Yeah only about 14 year old I think

Perhaps a minority opinion, but I preferred the original colour. Did you want to darken and shine the leather?

Red Wing shoe cream with neats foot oil maintains colour without shine, although I slap any old stuff on my boots, Kiwi wax, dubbin, cream, stuff for my Altberg walking boots and have now pretty much wrecked the briar oil slick finish.

Thats Redwing mink oil ive applied. Itll dry out the excess removed and in a year they will look like they did in first picture which is nothing like the original colour. They age beautifully

Toying with a pair of Moc Toe Oro Russetts, but hate by shoes mail order, as I like to try them on and buy.

I am currently a solid 8 in Nike/Addidas, but a solid 7 in Loake, and my midget feet mean I can even size further down to a 6.5 in my Grenson and Oliver Sweeneys.

For reference how do Moc Toes come up against the other 3 brands I have mentioned above?

Reading your post and from experience of all I would say you would want a 6.5 with thin socks or 7 with thick ones.

Thanks for this. I reckon you will be spot on. Just a question of whether I gamble on a size 7.
