They're prob selling factory seconds.
I bought 1 off eBay too. Just collected from SingPost today. USD$79.90 factory seconds 875 for my old man.
Looking good.
No defects. Notice the punched holes on the tongue? I guess its by Red Wing to distinguish it being factory seconds. Nicely printed on the shoe box are the words "FACTORY SECONDS" too.
Notice the scratch at the heel area? Nothing serious thou. Nothing that you won't get on your boots after couple of wears.
Red marks on the sole.
For this price, I'll say it's very worth it. Cos all are cosmetic 'defects' if you wanna call them that. I dun mind, since Red Wings are meant to be grind.
Glad that my dad likes it. First time he nvr kp me when I buy ex stuff. He saw my pair of Red Wings
<--Mine
and asked me, "Red Wings ah? How much?" When I told him $200+ he kept quiet. Being the frugal man that he is, I think that he must hav wanted it when he was younger. Saw the boots on eBay and decided to get for him. So now, we have a 62 yr old man rocking his Red Wings! Woot!
