Red Wing shoe Thread

[noblewolf]

I have been waiting for a redwing with a beckman upper and a roughneck (full size)vibram sole, not some mini lug, half-past-six vibram. i hope they will come up with a timberland style, build your own boots for custom ordering.

right now i have:

1905 moctoe
9011 beckman
2942 roughneck R&T
8126 brogue ranger
4216 safety boot with non-metallic toe

but looking at them every morning, something is still missing... lol

I update again next year.

 

[kazuki666]

then how??? gone liao right?

I won't say it's gone gg lah, because it's still a good pair of boots mah. But my suspect is that it won't tahan well against water le. So be careful when trashing it in snow and raining days. So far my 8165 and 8106 I really heck care rain or walking into puddle de. Even slapping on mink oil and kiwi. So the top layer is cracking and starting to peel off liao. It's 875 I am more careful because I realise it doesn't go well in water stains.

Can try WingSeed @ West Coast Plaza, local chap that can resole GYW shoes (cannot confirm whether is it machine or hand sewn though).

Which reminds me. Redhill market next to it has a low rise block, void deck has this shoe repair shop which I seen before various boots inside. The guy looks pretty cool too. Haha

Ask what is the problem and how they will fix. Someone good and passionate at the craft will bother to explain to u.

But end of day best is u got recom from ppl with first hand experience or get to see actual end product from repairs done. Can talk well may not mean hands on also good

I had just applied mink oil on my Red wing.

How long should I let the oil sits before brushing or buffering it ?

Do you also apply neutral wax ?

Am looking for a black moc toe. But I dislike the Traction Tred or Christie Wedge sole.

I want something more lasting like the Vibram sole.

Saw the 8176 and 8175. Tried to find some reviews, apparently these are not common and doesn't seem to be easily available, any reasons why ?

Saw this limited Munson Ranger 8012. Thinking if to get it.

Can consider the fragment collaboration? But IMO is over hype.

Am looking for 6". The Fragment is still the Traction Tred….

 

[Dmaul77]

Agreed that fragment collab is probably overhyped, but i couldnt pass up the chance to own a pair with some help from my bro....
