Size guide for Red Wing Beckmans 9011
I have seen conflicting advice, some say size up some say definitely size down. I am a 9 US in clarks, What size should I got for in red wings?

I wear a 9 in Clarks, but I'd be most comfortable somewhere between a 8.5 and a 9.
I have a pair of those Red Wings, in 9. If I could buy them again I would probably get a 8.5.
It depends on what kind of socks you plan on wearing, but I would size down a half size. They run big.

IMHO you should really try them on or go through a place that offers free returns.
They fit odd for me. I'm an 9.5 on the CDB scale and went for weeks to the store trying on those and nothing ever felt right. 8E's, 9 regular, really tight heel vs. roomy in the toes, etc.

My topsiders are an 8.5 and my beckmans are an 8.5 with a thin felt liner. If I wear thicker socks they fit great, with thinner socks an 8 might have been better. Also order from revolveclothing.com and if it's your first order they give you 30% off. Cheapest place I found.

$226 with free shipping. I went with the 8.5

most red wing stores don't have the heritage line in the store, but they can special order them for you (at no cost). when i got mine (the cigars, 9016), i asked them to get two sizes and i'm glad i did. sizing down is a must! get 1/2 and 1 full size down. one of those will probably fit.

I wear a 12 in Clarks, 11EEE in AE, 12EE in Bass and 11 in RW Beckmans.

I just got my black pair and I feel that unlike my other pair they are true to size.

I don't have the Beckmans, but I do have Iron Rangers which use the same last. I am an 8 in CDB, and I bought an 8 in Iron Rangers because they were 50% off at an online store (they only had one pair). They are noticeably roomier in the toe than CDB, but I don't get any heel slip. In my case, buying true to size has worked out pretty well. Although they could probably stand to be a half size smaller.

I wear an 11 in both. I wear an 11.5 in Chuck Taylors and most other shoes.
