Hi, Anyone used saphir renovateur on your 875? My 875 became damn sticky after applying the LP. Thinking of a change.

i used saphir renovateur on my oro-legacy 875s!

loving it!

For those who still wish to "babycare" your Red Wing, you will think twice after watching this clip.

I am not recommending you to trash your boots as if you are doing your NS, but rather there is really no need to hug them with tender loving care. You just need to know the right methods to maintain them.

wow. his pair of boots really look good now.

so the thing is just to use red wings mink oil?

 

[Scribblemyname]

Just wear them as how you wear your other cheaper shoes/boots, condition them when they look dry and lastly give it some time. Patina don't appear overnight.

The Brooklyn boots rewards only ship to an US address.
How to bring it to SG?

 

[patryn33]

Much like buying from allen edmond factory 2nd. Get it ship to a USA forwarder such as comgateway.
These ppl can share tips

I have a pair of 875, but regretted after I saw 877. If I had seen 877 earlier, I would have went for the latter.

Same as usual, I will recommend all first timers to go to the Red Wing store to try it out experience the boots. Its not like your sneakers or working shoes which probably last you say 2-3 years? A pair of good boots can last you a lifetime, so I strongly believe in getting the right pair with the right expertise advice. Look for Han, he is the guru there. And just in case you think I am related, neh... haha

What's working shoes? Boots? Dress shoes? Depending on kind they can last as long as boots

I really don't know, but I suspect should be more than $400

 

[chevalier88]

other than using my fingers tip to rub mink oil on my 875 redwings can I just use a micro fiber cloth instead?

Later go to Red Wing and take a look.......................

Anyone knows how to spot an original 8875? May even be a really old one. Thanks!
