Red Wing shoe Thread

[CallmeZen]

Anyone knows where to get a soft horse hair shoe brush with price? I want to polish my shoe after applying obenauf's LP. Does it work? - I haven't tried it. Looking for brush now.

Not sure the shop name but fep one corner shop sells them.

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

Yes! Lemme know about your first experience. I wonder if it's going to peel another feet :O

Bumped mine around last night. For me there was space in the back and the heel moved slightly when I walked. This is normal with new leather shoes. The width was surprisingly tight which should stretch with wear. Moc toes also seem to be more forgiving than solid round toes on the front foot where the creases form.

In all I can definitely see myself get some blisters on this. Time to get some thick socks.

Color is great and in my opinion the variation in the hues of the leather gives it more character than the other mocs. 1907 also seems to come with an additional layer of stitching at the outsole which makes it even tougher.

Is there leeway in the heel of your shoes? Also did u know 1907 comes with additional RW insoles. If its too tight u can probably remove them or replace with a thinner one.

Yeah, I think there's a slight leeway in the heel. Also I didn't know that I can remove the leather insole. Can't wait to wear it again!

And where I can buy a decent pair of thick socks? Probably mine isn't thick enough to handle this shoes.

What do u guys use to oil ur 1907, obenauf LP? After some application of it, I found that my shoe keeps getting darker, any other recommendations?

1907 wont "age" like the usual 875 does.

So onces you use LP it turns back into a dark shade of brown. keep wearing it and it will start "fading"

actually from what i see, 1907 is just like a aged version of 875 [ this is what i think] applying lp is for the protection, as for darkening, it doesn't really matter to me. tbh, if i can trash my 8140 and turn it to look like 875 kinda color, it'll be awesome to me.

did anyone try ordering from Revolveclothing for the past few weeks?
Is it true that it doesn't ship red wing shoes to singapore already?

Hi Kaufebeen, did you shipped it to an address in US and ship from there or did revolveclothing shipped it direct to singapore?
I want to buy 1 from there but am not sure of the shipping arrangements.

Any idea how to season this to look like the one below?

Like this:

Is applying just obenauf LP sufficient?

Yes. 10char

 

[mikeeeey]

this looks frigging awesome!

BUT, it doesnt look like it got seasoned through daily wear. There's no signs crease/wrinkle, especially the area near the top toe area.

 

[kurenai_89]

Yes. 10char

the lighting on the 2 different pics when they are taken should be a factor also.

[boxtab]

nordstrom -> yes trusted seller.

Size -> TTS or Upsize, try first is the best.

What is tts? Then I should get US8?? I thought red wings runs bigger? And does the width of the shoe affects anything?

 

[zackery88]

went down to Suntec to check my size and found to be US 7 D which fits perfectly with a tiny bit of slippage at the heels. not sure if i should up or down size..

What is your usual shoe size? Does it run large or smaller?
