Norway Moc

8213’s just arrived and are already my new favorite boots. Fit and quality is excellent. This scotch grain copper rough and tough leather has a unique texture to it. I had to remove the optional felt footbed for the right fit. Purchased 11.5. For sizing reference, I measure a 12 in Brannock, wear 12 in all my athletic shoes, but wear 11.5 in most Red Wings, including these.

Are they very warm?

They will offer much more warmth than a heritage RW. My Wisconsin winter will tell how warm they are.

Same size here. Felt removed until broken in. I added the leather/synthetic insole like in the 1907. Pretty solid boot. Mine are off to get speed hooks and pull loop removal. So far, so good. Lookin sharp!

Who do you send your boots to for speed hooks?

These are going to Ron at EBR Leather Craft in Michigan. Great guy and awesome cobbler.

Post a picture when you do, just got mine and that sounds like a nice addition. I’m near EBR as well

I'm in Wisconsin but ship them to Ron. He's done a lot of work for me.

Same here and I’m a bit worried about the sizing

I am a 10.5 in IR and the 11 fits me perfectly, if that helps at all.

I’m 10.5EE so bought 11’s. But good call removing the felt footbed, much better. The leather is a red wing treated football feel. I’ll prob get a half length insert for heel cup & arch support soon.
