I stand corrected, I don't think we can get back full 20%.
Charges and fees you get from 10-12% add conversion back to sgd maybe closer to 10%. We saving $20-30.

Any one has experience with RW boot cream?

Intend to condition my 7 months old IR 8111. Prefer not to darken the boots with oil.
Is it true that the cream would discolour the stitch?

True. I used it wif my 9111. The color did nt change much. But dun apply too thick. Nt sure abt the stitching

Has been a while since I last gave them some oil, and today's weather is just nice.

I have the 8165 for more than 7 years already. Once i experimented wrongly, and the skin is a little cracking and peeling le. So I have to use black shoe wax to color the cracks and at the same time hopefully give it more maintenance life.

I am less strict with my 875 and Clarks desert boots. Brush clean, slap on the mink oil, and wait for it to seep and dry. Both of them are about 6 yo.

problem with new 3140

I just bought a 3140 about 2 months ago and worn it less than 10 times. I noticed the midsole separating from the shoe. Is this normal? see photos below. Thanks!

Hope u got it from the store. IMO u can take it back and let them take a look. This is a wedge sole, the welt and the sole are glued and pressed together. If i nv rmb wrongly.

Wanna ask the red wing pros if 1907 comes in wide and if they are available locally.

1907 only come in D width
my feet width size are 2E on brannock device, i got no problem wearing Moc Toe in D width. red wing round toe will be smaller in width comparing to their Moc but i also able to fit it, the leather will softer over the time.
red wing size run big, i need to down 1 full size from my brannock device size.
locally the prices really too high, with the money i rather go spend on brand like Hathorn. the red wing white sole also wear out quite fast if wearing regularly.

I tried before and frankly i find SAF boots more comfortable. I've got wide feet and it's hell for me buying shoes.

SAF boots?
you mean the frontier? the saf frontier are more like lightweight tactical boots.
for those full leather boots they are quite stiff and heavy. if you have really wide feet can try those footwears come with 4E on amazon.

SAF boots vs redwing? They all boots but build differently.
Takes a while to break in a redwing

lol I was referring to that hard boot before the gore tex model. I thought the feel of red wing reminded me of that boot.

I have to agree with u. I did my BMT back in 2002, so I suppose we are referring the same leather boots. That pair of boots are damn hardy. Until now my 2nd pair is still mint, because the first pair it's still ok though I wore it for chiong sua and parade. It has barely any discomfort, need minimal maintenance.
