Thanks man. I have a pair of Redwings that I bought about 5 years ago after losing my old pair in a move, and I've been pretty disappointed with them. My other pair was probably 20 years old, and they were the perfect boots. I used them for literally everything. I would backpack in them, do hard work in them, and then polish them up and wear them around town. These new ones don't fit the same. They seem well made and all, but I wonder if they've changed the lasts or something. They said that they're still using old American lasts, but these are a lot bulkier inside than my last pair. I usually keep my boots for a decade or even two, so I figured the Nicks would be a long-term investment. If they're really well made then I should be able to wear them for the rest of my life, as long as I get them re-soled when they need it. Did you go into the shop for the foot measurements, or did you do their little online paper trace method? One of my feet is slightly larger than the other, and I have wedge shaped feet, so I think I could really benefit from a custom fit.
