Have to really camp and research which sites, as different sites different time of sales.

I will recommend go Reddit sub-Reddit FrugalMaleFashion to lookout for deals.

not sure which websites u have been going to but through out this thread, many websites have been recommended for getting real and authentic red wings that are way cheaper than getting from a shop front

i cant recall all but revolve clothing and shoe buy carry red wings. and of course amazon has great deals. have to camp and wait but the savings are worth it

Can recommend a few trustworthy sites? :D

stonesix,

When I looked into the link you provide, it seems like RedWings isn't that lasting and it also hurt the leg.

Is that true?

red wings need anywhere from a few weeks to a month or more to break in

the leather is from their own tannery - SB foot

u dont like the pain then consider other boots that use horween leather which is very supple and literally does not require any break in

Hi anyone know or have the calvery chukka?
Seems like having some resin over it meaning it is like patent leather?
Can the scuff mark if any be removed?
Thanks

what you mean not lasting? the sole look worn off?
even if you buy $5K shoes depends how you wear the sole isn't going to last.

breaking in is a different thing.
put an insoles and it would hurt, or wear better socks.
They are work boots after all...

Hi all! What are the models suitable for females? I'm looking at 875 and 1907, what's the difference between the both of them? They look similar.... and also what's the price in SG? Havent drop by the store yet, but been looking at them online and both looks so good!

Other than the different leather uppers mentioned earlier, the two models are built on different lasts, so fit may vary. And the 1907 has the stormwelt and carries a slight premium.

Don't think they diff GYW and storm welt since storm is a form of GYW
