This is a 1996 Red Wing Irish Setter 875. It features the "dog tag" (a semi-circular tag with a dog image) and is known for its reddish-brown leather. The color changed around this era. I purchased this pair new at the time and regularly maintained them with the original conditioner, so the characteristic luster of the 875 is preserved. The shape is still well-maintained, and I personally think it still has plenty of aging potential. The soles are original. This is the dog tag type, size 6 1/2, which is approximately 24.5cm-25.5cm. Boots like Red Wings have "toe allowance," meaning they are made about 0.5 to 1.0 cm larger than the size indicated. Sneakers don't have this toe allowance, so if you choose the same size, they will feel too big. Therefore, it's important to choose your size based on the actual measurement of your foot. As a guideline, use a size that is 0.5cm to 1cm smaller than the size you wear in sneakers.
