Forget the now Chinese-made Redwings, these are true American boots.  They are made in the great state of Wisconsin by American union members.  They definitely run a full size large.  I usually wear 13EE, and 12EE was perfect.  There is some wiggle room for my toes, but that's fine because when I wear them with Wigwam socks in winter they'll fit snug.  The leather is beautiful and overall workmanship is stellar.  There are only a few minor imperfections (The upper lace hooks on the left boot are ever so slightly misaligned), but it really doesn't affect the overall look/quality of the boots.  I've only worn them for a few hours so far and they are already breaking in comfortably.  Chippewa boots are another great American made brand, but they are a slightly different style than this.  I ordered the Tobacco color and it is exactly how you'd picture it.  The pictures on Amazon are misleading though.  I was actually sent the model which is pictured for the color "Tobacco Gladiator," not what was pictured for the color I ordered.  Luckily for them I'm not very picky and I think both styles look great.  For the price point (Or almost any price point, for that matter) I highly doubt you'll find a better boot than this.
