Red Wing shoe Thread

[centauri61]

strange enough, my saf boots i only take out once a yr. So far few yrs le, never really have the prob with mould though...

I think normal mink oil will do bah.
Btw, i just wore it out again today. I love to wear it below my uniqlo MIJ, the fit just niece. And oh, dunno why the pain like not significant liao wor. Does it mean its finally starting to break in liaoz???

i wear my boots with my uniqlo MIJ too! mebbe it's cos the colour and ankle opening just nice...

did you notice those crease lines forming on your boots? around the ankle area... between the toes and ankle... think break in already...

Your feet used to it liao~

I bought some woolen socks from winter wear shops to use as my RW boot socks

The comfort is simply amazing.

qn... those woolen socks how to wash huh??

i mean saw it frm the blackbird website when im thinking of getting red wing gt.

the heels of wolverine looks high to me so i dnt really like them.

true true....
I cant really put my heart on convince myself spend so much for a pair of jeans which i can only wear on fridays or wkends lor...

MIJ have discount now?! Maybe if they have, i dun mind whack a blue pair lor
this MIJ really damn tough. I already try to wear as much as i can when not working le, still hardly any changes at all, only light creases behind the knee areas...


Tmr try take some pics with my lousy HTC Magic show u the cutting. I realised night time take pics, the quality quite poor, daytime better.

btw, are all of u using the default shoelaces? The rough and round ones?

I thinking if flat laces will look gd on 8165. sometimes those round ones remind me of saf boots lor.

any recommendations where can get better quality and nice ones? What length would be appropriate?

I cant rem where i seen before, some guy wear their RW with flat laces and they are long enough to go 1-2round the shoe then tie de. Quite cool that way.
