Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

[spedrunr]

a few scuffs from 2-3x per week wear for 3 months. The leather under the dye/paint is substantially lighter. almost a moss green

Found damage on my 1907s.. Any ideas on how to fix this tear??

A great day for 8138

Those look nice and fresh. I love how soft the crepe outsole feels when they're new!
But, not to sound petty, I hate when there's a double cuff and/or giant cuff on jeans with boots. Makes a bloak look like he's trying too hard to show off ones boots...
The boots speak for themselves

Which ones are those? The kangatan ones?

Cuts and tears are kinda collateral damage for boots.
Just give em a fresh oil and buff and it won't be as apparent

I've been wearing these a ton lately. Black harness engineers.
Took awhile to get used to pull-up boots, my toes were always clinching like I was gonna walk outta them...but now it's kosher.
They look great in black jeans
And I will say one thing, I've never had women comment more about this pair then probably my other red wings combined

Thought so! Slick boots
I talked to another owner of those a couple pages back, he had posted a pic of em next to the original kangatan of yesteryear
I suggested to him, and now to you, to put a nice black smaller lug commando outsole on them (once the crepe wedge outsole wears out)
That would make them look amazing and more like the original.
Although they look good to begin with. Just a thought.

Are those chestnut Beckmans in there? Any extra pics of those? They look minty

What model are the new ones?

Great collection! I picked up the 875s a few months ago and my other RWs haven't been seeing the same love. Wasn't sold on the crepe sole but they are noticeably more comfortable for all day walking. -only warning you now in case your collection starts growing again!

Haha thanks for the advice! I was never keen on the 875s, but they are starting to grow on me. They are the chestnuts. I have two pairs. I bought one for work and couldn't bring myself to wear them at work, so I bought another pair for work and one for going out. I know, I'm ridiculous. The work pair are worn everyday for the last year and see all kinds of abuse. The ones in the middle of the Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths are a Munson boot that was a collaboration with Jcrew and my new boots are 4579. It's a beckman boot as well collaboration with Jcrew as well. Here's a few pictures.

Apologize in advance for all the pictures.

These are the chestnut Beckmans and a comparison picture of my work ones and other ones.

Here is a close up of the Munson Jcrew boot which I love. One of my favorites along with my newest and a picture of what they should look like when they get worn.

And here are my work boots and how they looked yesterday and then after I polished them.

I'm coveting those Munson boots right now....

They are awesome! One of my favorites. The style number is 4597. They were an older boot with Jcrew and then some store in Wisconsin had bought a bunch of over stock of them or something and had a limited supply of them online. Check Ebay for them.
