just got my first pair of red wing 1907 .. so i was wondering how do i maintain the leather ?
as such , i send an email to red wing USA and it was their reply

The recommended care products for style 1907 are leather cleaner and mink oil. The leather cleaner helps to lift dirt and particles from leather surfaces without drying or damaging the leather. It is a water based formula that is environmentally safe and gentle to the natural fibers of the leather. Mink oil is known for its softening and conditioning qualities.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

after which , i went down to suntec and spoke to the staff .. he said that the shop dont carry leather cleaner and mink oil is not suitable for 1907 .. and said that should use silicone waterproofing instead .... so now i abit confused ...

anyone with 1907 can enlighten me how to maintain the leather ?

Hi guys,

Just to check, is the Red Wing lineman from a different series than the moc toe or 6 holes classic? Anyone knows where to purchase them online as it is selling at 438 (iirc) locally... :s22:
