Could be mold or just dust. Brush it off will do. I usually will give my boots a light brush after every wears, to remove any dirt caught inside the holes or threads.

IMO lah, still have long way to go. I have two pairs of Red Wing also reached this stage like after 2-3 years of trashing and my bad walking habits. But after that I realize the wearing out seems to slow down le. I think lah, could be because the angle of my feet is this much le. Yes the sole definitely still wearing out, but much slower than initial start liao.
This is for my personal opinion.

However, if you wish to wait and see. Just take note the wear out don't burn out the sole completely flat, else will be too late le.

When you say online, how you going to measure your size? I hope you arent OGW shop try size happy liao, then online buy hor... Not really doing much justice to the staff who will help you with much passion. I have visited the OGW shop a few times, and I feel their staff are very knowledge and passionate of the job. Dont sabo them lah.

hmm... I have never seen one "disintegrate" until like this. What did you do recently wearing them? I suggest you bring to the OGW shop ask their staff for advice. Definitely looks like need to resole le, quite wasted especially when your pair looks quite new leh.

I always got this terrible habit of keeping my shoes before I start wearing them. Maybe the boots cannot be stored for long ??

I don’t recall doing anything special. Thanks for advice. I will make a trip down soon.

I just bought a pair of 8119 from RW OGW.

I normally wear size 42. After measuring, I tried on a 41 but find the toe area tight, hence, I settled on a 41.5 instead.

41.5 is slightly big, I inserted a leather arched insole and it is comfortable.

My take is, if it is painful to wear, go up half a size or more till you are comfortable.

You can always correct slightly bigger with insole than bear with pain and blisters...

Also, I realised that if the socks are too thin or you wear it too loose, it will cut the back of your shins.
