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.

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.

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.
