not scared of "stomp" uh? hahaa

Look like going to rain soon, abit cloudy here ald:s27:

the sun is still going strong in my area. :)
and i should be going out soon. Going back office to settle some last min hiccups :(
hope to hit back home by dinnertime.


well, if this ever reach stomp, it can only be few folks here mah. So i have to say, pls dun csi me lah :p
sorry lah hor, i dun stay at pte estate, no backyard to catch sun directly. And anyway, i stay very very low level in the blk, i doubt my ladies are heavy to fall and injure anyone.
but well, if anyone decides to stomp me, let me know ya. Then i get to enjoy the comments too :S

sin red, mine is downsized one at 9E, I usually wear 10 for all my other shoes except for soccer boots 9.5.

kazuki666, agree with you, it's pretty hard to find berm that covers the knee without pockets at the sides. I got this in US last year, it's at the Oakley Factory store in Las Vegas.

kyushin, u are right , when I stand it covers the knees slightly.

thanks for the concern. I managed to keep them in before the rain pours at my side :)

back from office le. And took some pics of both

875
img0505nt.jpg


hardly any trashing yet, so can hardly even see any creases. The most is the marks on the tongue coz i tie the laces pretty tight


8165
img0507t.jpg


It has been with me since mid May. But I only started to wear it as daily working shoes for the recent 3-4mths


below are some top views of both together

img0509b.jpg


img0512fp.jpg


from the pics can tell the insoles of my pairs also dun have the RW logo and wordings.

and ya. The white soles. Do u guys bother to maintain its whiteness??? I tried for the 1st few weeks for the 8165, then i found it impossible to do so, and i gave up LOL
Then i realised that i have a bad standing or walking habit. The right shoe's sole gets the most dirtying and sanding off...

Steady, looks like it's in serious need of some trashing. That's the great thing abt RW. You dont have to worry about scratches, dirt etc. In fact in some sense, it'll look even better. :D

875 (top)
8165 (bottom)

8165(top)
875(bottom)


I think there will be more ppl buying RW along the way too. To save the troubles to dig up pics again, how abt linking these pics to the 1st page too?
TS can do that? :)

^ good idea. as long as dont include the fake RW box. lol

but prob is so far even if same model for eg 875, we seem to be seeing different insole and box also.
Any experts have an ans to this???

Issit coz year of production, or location of the shoe purchased?


btw, my 8165 is locally bought from federsports, 875 from authorised retailer in hk. hope both arent fake...:s12:

but then again, i think cannot use the box to determine also..

if they have the means to replicate a boot design, i dont see how they cant do a box when its much easier
