I have worn Red Wing boots (875) for many years, and recently bought the Chukka for lighter everyday use, but not particularly as a work boot. Overall, I think they are good-looking, rugged and versatile boots. Red Wing heritage boots are always going to be solid overall and will last a very long time indeed. I am sure I will use them quite heavily.
Nevertheless, I was disappointed in the stitching quality and the rather uneven leather (suede) texture, although in fairness I expect a lot when I buy Red Wing boots. The quality is certainly a lot higher than the average boot junk sold by most manufacturers.
So while I can recommend the work chukka as a good, sturdy all-round boot with reasonably stylish looks at a decent prize, I recommend that you inspect the boots carefully before buying, especially the leather and stitching. Unfortunately, this will be difficult to do if you buy over the web where the best deals are to be found.
Oh, I almost forgot, expect really sore feet until they are worn in, since the leather is really thick and stiff, and the instep is very tight. It took me a very long time to break them in fully, approximately 6-8 weeks. Use protective tape and rest days, or your feet are going to get grinded into hamburger meat.

I own 4 pairs of Red Wing shoes now, various styles for various purposes. None of these shoes are showing signs of wearing out yet, and the oldest pair I bought in 2006. Note, all of the Redwing shoes I own I made sure that they were made in the USA and I truly believe it makes a big difference in quality. After I received my new chukka's from Amazon, I made an attempt to get them on. I gave up and had to go buy a shoehorn. After getting them on, they really hurt and I was thinking about immediately sending them back. I had bought a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, but they were really tight especially over my arch where they had an inner support liner stitched inside. After getting them on, I took a walk, but couldn't go very far. I wore them every day all day long for several days, and each day they got progressively better. After a few weeks they were very comfortable. Break in has always been a tough time for me, but I'm glad I kept at it. I get a lot of comments about my chukkas, and noticeable jealousy from some. These are high end shoes that not everybody will shell out the money for. I have one suggestion/comment. I wish Redwing would have included a leather tab on the back of the shoe for pulling it on. They are still difficult for me to put on without a shoe horn. I suspect I will enjoy these shoes for many years to come, and proud to wear shoes made not only in the USA, but my home state.

THE BEST MID TOP WORK BOOT MADE PERIOD !
I WEAR THEM ALL DAY IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, FROM SCORCHING HOT TO JUST ABOVE FREZZING..........MOSTLY ON HARD CONCRETE FLOORS.
YES THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THEN OTHER BOOTS BUT THE QUALITY AND COMFORT ARE WORTH THE ADDED EXPENSE.
IF YOU HAVE .10 CENT FEET BUY A .10 CENT BOOT .
RED WING YOU HAVE TO WEAR THEM TO BELEIVE HOW GOOD THEY REALLY ARE.
I RATE THE AAAAA PLUS>>>>>>>>>>>
