Red Wing shoe Thread

[iceddd]

seems like revolveclothing just added the restriction... wanted to get another pair of RWs.. sad

 

[mr168]

Erm...So I can ignore this statement? 'Red Wing Shoes ships to US and Canada only'

i think they have now stopped shipping red wing shoes worldwide. try nordstrom, currently there is sale for iron ranger and as well as 8179.

wear long socks. I wore ankle socks on Day 1, my skin peel and super pain. And ever since then, long socks ftw

skin still peeling despite wearing long socks. any other users feeling the same?

bought my first pair of redwing from them

 

[Kaufebeen]

Purchased my first pair of red wings from Revolve through a proxy. I still get the 30% first timer discount but the proxy shipping cost+insurance about SGD44 for express.

So do factor that into your cost. Overall still outstandingly cheap at about SGD275 all in for a pair of 1907.


Btw, i noticed almost everyone is using Obeneauf LP over here. Anyone heard of Saphir? Their shoe polish is widely considered to be the absolute best money can buy and their renovatuer (conditioner/cleaner) is also great. i imported some from a website in france for my dress shoes and they are perfect. Anyone has experience with them on red wings?

 

[voltshin]

saphir is more suitable for dress shoe/boot.
i have both and i feel that using saphir on work boot is a waste and darken drastically.

LP still works better on work boot. furthermore, good water resistance proof.

Hi guys, Red Wing newbie here. I just got my first Red Wing shoes around 2 days ago. Mine is 1907 and it actually fit just fine, until I tried to walk with it and turns out this shoes is the most painful shoes I ever owned. It actually peeled the skin in the back of my feet.

Is this normal for 'break in' part or what? is there anyway to help me speed up this process? I even considered to sell it later

that would be the worst choice you will ever make selling it. it's normal la, wear long socks, might hurt for first few wear, after that its fine. as for speed up, i'm not too sure.

Yeah, I actually didn't want to sell it. I worked my way to buy this nice shoes. I'll try to get through this first month and see how it goes.

anyway, I got this "trick" to break in new boots. what do you guys think about this?

"A process that has been used previously but fallen out of favor recently is soaking the boots in warm water and wearing them for several hours consecutively. Because the leather is wet it begins to conform to the structure of your sole/foot, eventually forming an excellent glove like fit. This method is really only effective if you have the opportunity to walk around (preferably outdoors) for several hours in wet boots. Also, it is extremely important that applications of Mink-Oil or another leather conditioner are used frequently, this will extend the life of your boots exponentially."

I have no idea if this works, but it seems stupid to walk around in a wet rws like some kind of rain boots, and at the end of the day, your feet will stink.

Firstly, did you size it correctly?

 

[kitschbeam]

I guess yes. Mine is size 8, and I did tried the size 9 but difference is just way too big. I also tried my friend's shoes which is also size8 but different model and it feels fine.

Maybe it's because the materials of 1907, which is quite stiff. But I don't know. See how it goes for this first month, I'll wear it again after once my feet recover.

Well DHL tracking shows my 1907 is at home! I'll try it out and let u know if I have the same experience. Can't wait to go home
