Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

[adamdurbin]



Yeah, I'd be all over those too

throw those in a boot format and I'll throw out my 1000 miles for them. Red wings are the best

Just took delivery of these beautiful RW Harvester #2943 boots in Amber Harness. Big thanks to meridiansystem for the hookup on where I could scoop them up -- I swear this was the last 12D in the states.

Those are Gentleman Travelers? Noice

Yeah the Munson Ranger looks great but again is not available Stateside. Why Red Wing, why?

Some other Asian only models that need to come to the USA:

Okay, so "patina" is one thing to aim for in boots. But is it possible to keep Redwing's Hawethorne Muleskinner leather looking "clean", even after a lot of use? I really like the look they have fresh out of the box, that's why I'm asking...

Saphir suede shampoo is quite good. I would give it a try, if just brushing and eraser is not enough.

Source?

That'd be awesome

Yeah is there confirmation of this? If it's legit, that would be awesome -- I've been eyeing these since first seeing them in Japanese men's fashion mags.

While we're on the subject, I heard from Kyle @ Baker's that the Blacksmith 2959 in Copper Rough N Tough is coming our way for Fall '15 (available in late July). I love that leather.

They are great shoes, especially if you like the higher cut. The toe profile seems slimmer than my Beckmans/Blacksmiths, but doesn't feel any tighter in the toe box.

Bl@ster, where did you pick up those laces for yours? Finding 60" laces (outside of the traditional hiking/work boot laces) can be tricky.

My spring/summer RW kicks this year . Cant resist moc toes lately.

I, too, love moc toes. Just don't ask me how many I own.

The laces pictured are from ShoelaceExpress. Here's the direct link to the laces, which are available in 63":

So, after long debates with myself, I'm finally a member of the club, too. Hope it's not a decision I'll regret...
