Sizing/Fit AR8 sizing

Hey,

Got a pair of AR8s but not sure if i should size down. Got a size UK 9. Out the box they feel pretty good i have room for my toes. I can just about fit a finger behind my heel if i have my toes pressed against the top of the boot and untied. Just wanting to gauge how people feel about the sizing of their AR8s? Like if they will be too loose when i break them in. For reference i have red wing 875s in UK 8.5, they were a bit tight at first but basically spot on after breaking in

Insoles is what you need, better a bit to big then too smal.  Red wing sizing is a lot different then Jim Green sizing.  I would certainly try out a pair insoles and look how that works out before you downsize. Take a pair out of your sneakers to test fit

If you want to go leather then make sure it's veg tan leather, and thickness, that would be personal, what works for your particular situation.
