Red Wing Heritage

Silversmith Boot - Women's

Color is deceiving in pictures

Many reviewers said the copper/red doesn’t come through in pictures. It is hard to tell, but out of the box these are a beautiful dark orange or even purple color. The copper started to change and streak as soon as I put my feet in them. I was on the fence about keeping these after I bought them because they were kind of an impulse buy, but now after seeing them I cannot send them back. It’s my second pair of Silversmiths so I already know they will fit beautifully once they’re broken in. Keep making gorgeous boots Red Wing!

These boots are beautiful and well made. I went with my instincts and experience wearing all leather boots and ordered my usual size 8. Many people suggested sizing up half size, but I just hate doing that and trusted that the boot would break in. They were extremely tight and uncomfortable for 2 weeks. I conditioned the leather, wore thick socks and wore them thru the pain. They have now perfectly molded to my foot with no tightness or rubbing. The mocha color is beautiful too. They are simple boots with no over thought "tech" which is my preference. My only critique is that the cork insole could have been a teeny bit wider. I occasionally feel the edges. Otherwise perfection

Really comfy!

Absolutely gorgeous! First time buying Red Wings, these are honestly so much more comfortable than I expected for new shoes. They definitely do run slightly narrow so going up half a size is a good idea.

Great boot!

I don’t know why people would put a bad review on these boots other than that they’re impossible to please! These boots are amazing and I love how rustic they look. They don’t take long to break in either.

practical and beautiful

I get compliments on these boots constantly! I was looking for a replacement/upgrade for my old Laredo lace-up riding boots, and these had the speed hooks and height I needed. They're like combat boots meets riding boots -- stylish and durable and extremely high quality. I just added my fringe kilties, and they're perfection!

Love These Boots!

I bought these boots last spring and when they came I was so disappointed! I wear a 10 regular in shoes/boots. After reading reviews, people said to size up a half size since they run very narrow. However, they don't come in a 10.5 and I knew 11 would be too long. I ordered the 10, and I could barely get my foot in, they are soooo narrow! I wanted them to fit so bad, they are a beautiful boot! Well, luckily we have a cobbler not too far from us, I took them in, had them stretched, and less than 2 days later I had boots that fit! It took another 2 weeks or so of break in and ever since they get better and better. With jeans, and even in the summer with dresses. You get what you pay for and these boots are no exception! Love Love Love!!

Great Quality & Wardrobe Staple

1 year and counting! These are a wardrobe staple in winter for me. It took a while to break them in but now I wear them most days all day to work and on long walks with my GSD. I highly recommend trying on in the store for the experience because the clerks are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the brand and how their boots should fit. I chose to size-up because I have a wide foot and I typically do that for boots. 7 to an 8. There is no heel slippage even after break-in which I was originally nervous about with sizing up. Very good quality so I am glad I chose Red Wing for my everything boots! Also... with wide feet, I too, have felt my toes hang slightly over the edge of the inner sole.... but I know that the inner sole is made of cork and intended to change with wear... to mold to my foot. The initial gap I felt is filling out over time as the boot breaks in *everywhere* I don’t think that is a manufacturing issue like someone else had said.

I am in love

Bought my regular size 7, fits like a glue. Comfortable out of box, and no break in needed. The best boots I have owned.

Super Comfortable

Almost two years old now & these gorgeous boots have been comfortable from day one. I wear them in the cool weather months several times a week with thick socks & they are very comfortable & look great. I thought they were very extravagant but now I know I'll own them for life. Love that they are made in USA.

Copper Rough & Tough

These are my favorite Red Wing boots/shoes. I own many. The leather smells AMAZINGGGG...the best out of their leathers, in my opinion. Mine have zero defects and I purchased them directly from a Red Wing dealer. 2 months of wear 2-3 times a week for 9 hour work days where I do a lot of cement walking. I brush them once a week and have conditioned them once (using Red Wing products). The scuffs disappear and minus the wrinkles they look brand new after a nice brush. In the pictures I posted, I didn’t brush them but I did dust them. There was little break in and the break in was mostly in the width, aside from them shaping to my foot and ankle. On the Brannock tool my left foot measures at a 5 and my right foot at a 5.5. I purchased these in a 6.5. Lengthwise I definitely have a thumbs width worth of room. I enjoy the room and my feet feel secure. However, I could have purchased a 6 and also been happy, in time, after the boots stretched. I highly recommend the Silversmiths. They are well made!
