dunno the expertise ans. But for me i will just wipe dry, let it air properly.

My 8165 been thru alot rain with me the last mth, but it was perfectly dry inside, just some wet on the outside.

caught in a light rain... but was dry when i reach back home...

before my rw kanna rain... i can clearly feel tht the leather is a bit sticky ( i think it is becoz of the mink oil)

but after ytd's light rain... the rw like not sticky anymore...

so i dunneo whether nid to apply mink oil or juz dun care...

Photos from MO #1,

how come the laces for the black RW is not all black? first time seeing such laces

and

the red wing logo like different from mine tht is bought from queensway

[madmanz1]

d black moctoe looks abit shiny??

 

[mikeeeey]

went to suntec, but disappointed that my size was OOS

 

[james71882]

The triple stitches of the shoes like three different stitches,not uniform. and the logo font also different. Conclusion: Suspect the shoes in the photos are fake RW.

i was still thinking how to remove the stickiness for my 875 lor LOL
maybe rain will be a gd remedy



Abt the above pics, i noted this one

chinese leather protection product?
sorry, i am not racist. I am a sg chinese myself, and a big fan of chinese literature. But when it comes to quality, i find it hard to trust them sometimes

RW with chinese supplements? taobao?
is this MO from the hwz MO de???
I think many ppl whack with them right? Believing that its factory rejects


I am so loving my 8165 again coz back to office after the long wkend
Can any guru explain if the leather used for 8165 and 875 the same? Somehow i find 875 much tougher and the mink oil is like sticky on it...
TIA

Received my red wing shoes on 24 dec
Here are some photos

here is the box pic...

yes it is from the hwz MO...
lucky never get from him... I still though he will be giving RW's leather protection product

The moc toc is come in "D"/narrow.. but i asked the suntec RW uncle to let me try the D size, he said RW do not produce D size for moc toc...
So i PM the person doing this MO, he said it is older version of the 875 hence do not have E, only D...

EDIT: If can prove him fake.. he said he will be refunding 200% back...

If you noticed, how come the leather tone/shade for this pair like very light. And the area between leather and base should be same colour as the leather instead of another colour as shown in the picture, looks like reddish reddish one.

And i also all along thought 875 came in E only...

hmm...

its like photo hunt game

1) Those of u whom bought 875 or moctoe RW boots from authorised dealers locally. Do u have that white cardboard inside your boots to support it de?

abt the width i am not too sure, coz i asked for 5.5E straight away. Didnt ask if there is D though...

cant rem how my 875 box looks like, will post pics of it tonight

 

[goat1991]

irrc.. u also buy from queensway rite? queensway box not white de but inside got some words

but if take apple and compare apple... the both white box doesnt look the same to me...

You notice tht our RWs hor is use wood insole.. hence can clearly see the "wood" colour between the leather and white soles..

but in the pic... u see the colour is a bit red rather than the "wood" colour...

EDIT: Spot the boots eyelets 1 is black 1 is white... WTF?

from RW tw website, it seems like darker colored eyelets too...
http://www.redwing.tw/new.html

my pair from hk also

phew....


But then, i notice models like 8138 and 8131 eyelets also silver de wor. My 8165 also silver...
so how to tell???

 

[goat1991]

I think the best way to tell is the quality of the leather loh... and i think the wood insole..

if fake... the quality same as RWs i also dun mind hahaaa..

and ur red wing logo same as mine... if u see the MO RW the logo on the side is different 1
