3.0 out of 5 stars. Good boots, Factory 2ndsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Jake from California on Tuesday, October 2, 2018I am happy with the boots. They were only available in 10.5s. I'd previously purchased Red Wing chukkas in 10.5 and they were a bit too snug. These fit well, with just the right amount of extra space.
Unfortunately, it appears that the right boot was not finished as thoroughly as the left. The toe is creasing in an unexpected spot, and the leather feels softer and... thinner? I have only worn them for four days. The left boot is still holding a sheen, and is breaking in cleanly. The right boot is starting to look like a different material altogether. I am hoping that they will even out as they get more worn in this Fall. I would return them but unfortunately it looks like I got the last 10.5s.
So, good boots. Nice, lower profile than traditional Red wings. However, beware of Factory 2nds. You might not notice what is wrong. I would switch them out if I could! -

5.0 out of 5 stars. Amazing BootReviewed by Anonymous from VA on Sunday, September 9, 2018This was my first quality GYW boot purchase. I've always heard great things about Red Wing.
I have a skinnier frame, so I didn't want something bulky like the Iron Ranger. The Sheldon fits the bill perfectly. They are sleek and casual at the same time. They look great dressed up or with a pair of blue jeans.
As far as quality, the boots feel durable and high quality. I love the fact that they're made in USA. The minor defects that come from factory seconds are not problems at all. There are 2 small spots of discoloration that wouldn't catch the eye except from close scrutiny. There are no loose grains, and the Teak Featherstone looks wonderful.
I definitely had a long back-and-forth about which size to buy. I did a lot of research on this specific model, and found that the last is a bit longer than usual. I ended up buying a full size down from TTS. I usually wear an 8.5 in sneakers like Converse or Adidas, so I got a 7.5 in the RW Sheldon's. The fit is absolutely perfect. If you purchase this boot, consider going a full size down.
Highly satisfied with my purchase. -

4.0 out of 5 stars. Minor mistakeVerified Buyer Reviewed by Jiun-Fang from Oregon on Tuesday, July 10, 2018I know this is the second factory, but in this case, the boots are not perfect.
There is a small break in the leather surface of my right foot. However, they look great from a distance and are suitable for running errands. -
4.0 out of 5 stars. Runs bigVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from ME on Monday, June 25, 2018Measured my foot at size 12, ordered a 11.5 that was huge. 10.5 probably would have fit. The color of the teak seems slightly lighter than the pictures indicate. Otherwise seems very well constructed. Pretty stiff initially but that's what I've experienced with all red wings and they break in relatively quickly.
