Red Wing shoe Thread

[Newtothis]

The guy with the piercings really helped a lot leh for me when it was my first time there getting my first pair of raws. Introduced me to the racks on the right first, then I inquired about raws and all. Brought me to the left portion of tds. Recommended me TLJ(the one I'm having now). Even gave me sz25 for a try. Gave me his views and said 24 would be a better fit eventually.. Briefly told me about stretching etc.

The other time my sis went there to get her ksubi, the guy around 165? In white hair one also very friendly and was of rather great help. The second time we were there he remembered us as well.

:/

Please don't buy from the denim store, for one, the sales attendant that attended to me last sunday didn't know jack ****. Poor service too, didn't bother to grab me the size I requested and lazily insisted the display model would fit me, which it didn't.

I hooted a lineman today at suntec city, and the service standard is worlds apart. The guy helped me measure my feet, performed upselling by suggesting that the model I had in mind wasn't for me, which was true when i thought about it, helped me choose a better model, and put it on for me. He put no pressure, didn't insist on anything, and nicely said that I didn't have to buy now, though I bought it instantly.

I've already posted in the sneaker thread, but who cares, I'm proud of em':

well, he didn't know jack about the denim he's selling either!

. When did you meet that fair skin guai guai looking guy? Sounds like Donovan. lol.

He left TDS in mid July. He has the best customer service by far.

Oh, and TDS doesn't know much about Red Wings.

Just last week, on a Sunday.. But definitely doesn't have white hair lol

quick question to all serious owners here, is there any special process you put your boots through before wear?

or do you just wear them box out? thanks in advance!

i applied a thick layer of mink oil, then start wearing le

 

[nicholaslee]

ahhhh my 8138 did not hurt initially wearing for few hours due to low walking amount.. When I went for some serious walking it started pirecing my toes and the lower back of the feet! so painful!!

I will properly give it some massage to soften it faster

 

[screws]

just wear it la. dont think too much.

my boots seen mud, snow, gravel, chicken dung, cow dung, horse dung, lizard dung and what dung and its f*cking awful now just after 2 months of wear. but if you want to add character to your boots, just keep beating it. clean when you think its too dirty you'll get fined littering the moment you get out of your house.

kthxbye!

 

[cutiepie23]

cool! how long did yours take to arrive? I ordered 9EE as the SA uncle at suntec said I should take 9EE.. He let me try 10 EE and it was very big.. But I usually wear 11 for my jogging shoes and NS boots sia

2 weeks i think
i also wear size 11 for running shoe...
they measure n tell me 10.5E...

then i went to another shoe, left foot, try out 10EE, fit's nice
now a bit loose... should had got 9.5EE or 9 EE....
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
there is like 1 to 2 cm gap at the front...

overall still ok la.
