Does Red Wing Heritage run big or small?

Red Wing Heritage runs large. Most people land a half to a full size below their sneaker size (roughly a half size below Brannock length) — try 0.5 down first, 1 full size down on the Classic Moc/No. 8 last. The overwhelming community view is that Red Wing Heritage boots run large and roomy, with buyers typically going a half size down from their Brannock/measured size and often a full size down from their sneaker size, then allowing the oil-tanned leather and footbed to mould in over the first few weeks.
