I love Red Wings and have multiple pairs. One of them is a pair of Iron Rangers that are over 10 years old and currently on their third resole. I bought these about 10 months ago and was extremely excited as these are my favorite Red Wings, stylistically, that I have had yet. They are also quite comfortable. However, I have been disappointed with the quality of the stitching and gussets. Three of the four gussets were completely stretched out and wrinkled within the first month of wearing them. I have a shoe horn and pay attention to not overstretch them when putting them on. I have a pair of generic Chelsea's that I wear to work that are over 3 years old and have held up better than these. I took them back to the store that I purchased them at and they agreed it was too soon for the gussets to be in the condition they were so they replaced them for free. After getting them back they were in a similar state after a couple of months. I just got them back from their second gusset repair and now some of the stitching is compromised, one of the panels is pulling away from the boot , and there is excess glue all along the gusset seams. I want to love these boots but I don't know if I would recommend them. I have invested quite a bit in these boots and I don't think I trust them to not continue to fall apart. Did I get a lemon of a pair or are these just not as durable as the classic heritage models like the Iron Ranger and Moc Toe?

Bought the Chelsea in amber harness about 3 weeks ago now but there’s consistency issues. My right and left boots look like have different leather, size feels like different at least half to almost full size between them (yes I’m aware I have different size between the two, but never had similar issue with my blundstones)

I have worn Red Wing work boots all my life, this is my first pair of Chelsea's I love them, very comfortable right out of the box Could you made them with the SuperSole ?

I’ve owned these boots for a year and they are super uncomfortable. They are very tight across the top of the foot. I even purchased a redwing insole at an up charge for the store when I bought the boot. Very dissatisfied had a lot of money and for them to not be comfortable after a year is horrible.

I purchased these shoes about a month ago, and after wearing them for a short period, they have developed noticeable white crease lines. I understand that some creasing is normal over time; however, I would expect this to occur after several months of regular wear (around 3–6 months), not within the first month. Given how new the shoes are, I am disappointed with their current condition. I wanted to ask if there is anything you can assist with in this situation, such as a replacement, repair, or another possible solution. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

It’s unfortunate but Redwing used to be the gold standard in work boots, 25 years ago I could get 3-4 years out of a pair. Nowadays I’m lucky to get a year. I had these boots and the stitching started coming apart I under a year. Redwings are no longer made for the hard working American, they’re made for the skinny jean wearing, man bun males who want to look stylish in their selvage denim jeans rolled up to see their red stripe. These are not the same boots the name was built on. These are junk work boots.

My most comfortable heritage boot, and more comfortable than some of my work boots. I like the old school build of the 875 and Iron Rangers, but I also appreciate not having to spend months breaking a boot in. This boot is comfortable from day 1

I absolutely love these boots. I own the iron ranger and 1907 classic moc as well. Compared to those, the chelsea has a wider toe box and a little looser fit, but once broken in, they have molded to my feet and fit like like a glove.

I own/have owned four pairs of heritage Red Wings. Really, I love them all and am a big fan…they’re perhaps my favorite brand for sentimental reasons and quality for the cost. But these I just lobe as they are the only pair that have become completely comfortable without some slight compromise of comfort. They did take some breaking in but nothing like my 877s. And now are super comfortable while providing great protection, support and durability. I have feet issues and sadly My Iron Rangers and 877s both hurt some days when wearing. These? Never. I’ve owned several pairs of Blundstone’s Chelseas and these are FAR better made and superior in comfort. I haven’t seen any of the fraying at the top- of the elastic others have encountered, and I’ve worn them most days for three months. Really love these. Like…seriously. Um… can you tell? Did I happen to mention these kick asp? I did? Word.

Don’t waste your money. They have no support and my feet hurt every single day in these boots. Will never buy redwings again.

I bought these classic Chelsea's a month ago. I have worn boots my entire life. I'm 54 now. I own a different make of Chelsea and they fit great. This is what led me to try the Redwing Chelsea. The Redwing boot looks great, but I have a EE foot. The seam that runs along the outside of the foot, feels as if it's going to rub a hole in my foot. This may wear away over time, but doesn't feel good while wearing at this point. And the strap/loop feels has if it will break if pulled to hard. Should have been made with leather and stitched into the boot. Over all a nice looking boot. If the seam was made so it didn't rub I would have given the boot 5 stars. I also try to buy American made when possible.

Very well made boot, and it looks nice. I started having a pain in the top of my foot after wearing them for several days, the instep was super tight. I stretched it using an instep stretcher from foot fitter and this helped.

I was wearing these when i fractured my ankle 2 weeks ago and they were literally the only thing giving me support ti the hospital. The nurses were astonished with how well they were made when cutting me out of them. I will absolutely be purchasing another pair as soon as i am back on my feey. These boots rule!

I wanted a durable pair of Chelsea boots that I would wear safely on my motorcycle and wear into the office so I gave these a shot. I’ve had for little over 6 months and worn about 60-75 times, which I believe is ample time to “break in” however after about the first 30 days these particular boots did a number on my arches. I continued to wear thinking the dull pain right in front of my hear and back of my arch was part of the breaking in. But several months later I’m still dealing with the pain and can’t put these boots back on, which is unfortunate because they hold up great. I purchased in store and at the time I did ask if I could add an insole however I was advised by the store rep that this particular but is not intened to have an added insole because of the elastic style of the boot. I’m curious if I had added an insole if this pain could have been avoided. I haven’t put the boot back on for weeks and still have the pain, even when wearing soft sneakers. Hopefully a few more weeks of lighter shoes will help heal. To sum it up, a great quality boot, that holds up however these particular boots do not fit my particular foot shape which lead to on going pain.

I’ve had my pair for about 3 months and on the first day I got blisters on my foot. I really enjoy the look and ease of these boots however I feel the width of mines are TOO narrow. I have a pair of Iron Rangers and I know they’re on the same last but my Chelsea’s in the heel and arch area feel like my foot is slipping over both sides of the sole and make the boot only bearable to wear for a few hours till I switch them out.
