Red Wing Moc Toe vs Red Wing shoes 6-inch Classic Moc

I think I have a wide-ish foot and I have some 8” Red Wing moc toes in EU40/US7.5. The Red Wings were definitely a bit narrow for me but over time they’ve stretched and now fit really well.

Once break in is over they will fit like a glove. The footbed is a very rigid piece of leather with a cork mid-sole beneath it. There is also a removable leather insole. What begins to happen is that this rigid piece of leather begins to conform to your foot, almost forming a natural semi-rigid orthotic, which is the kind you want

Despite my reservations about buying a shoe that was a half size smaller than every other pair I own, these felt comfortable on my feet from the get go, and I was wearing athletic socks at the time. I believe these are the Leo last, and they fit just as good with thinner dress socks - snug in the heel and instep, but room to comfortably wiggle my toes. Any doubt I had about these melted away after taking a few steps in them. Plus I think the color will be super versatile, and between the look and the extra laces, these will be great for both casual and work (teacher) wear

Boots are comfortable after the break in period, but I recently bought my second pair of redwings and found they changed the insoles. The new ones seem cheaply made and are not as comfortable. I am disappointed redwings are not keeping the same standards they used to have.
