lol, i'm oso trying out my 1st pair of RW

i tink if it can be broken in to something like the army boot's comfort, then it's worth it

cos it's really super fitting once it's seasoned

but so far so good for me, the pain level is only abt 20% nia,lol(crossing fingers )

for a gd leather pair of footwear? yes.
The reason why the pains are coz of the tough leather, which is actually a gd thing.
Would u buy a pair of inferior leather shoes?

my 8165 initially i only wore it on dressdown fridays, for the 1st 3mths.
Then cant tahan the temptations, wore everyday to work le, and thats like for abt 5mths liaoz. Now its my fav pair of footwear on the rack.
The rest of my sneakers are all stuffed into shoe cabinet, scare moldy liaoz...

my intention of getting a pair of RW is oso for work purposes. rather than getting those $200-$300 leather formal shoes, which tahan(the sole) only a while due to my jobscope, i keep walking around, standing, squatting etc on site hence the stitches(when i am squatting) always breaks quite fast & the soles ish CMI after a while of serious rough uneven ground,lol

[gazar1]

Yeah, look like right! but I'm not sure if the redwings are fake, apparently my friend's friend(a girl) is wearing a round toe rw boots from them, it's 200 and looks legit. So don't ask me if real or not cause if anyone here can do justice to the picture or anything i will stop my friend from buying it. =)
