Red Wing shoe Thread

[dreamer37]

Hi Guys, Kinda curious... I have seen a couple of red wing 875 at different places (hk n Singapore) .. Why are they different in colour tones? Some lighter and some darker..It's not the lightings. All of them are same model...All from retail shops... Can anyone pros advise on that? Thanks

if I'm not wrong, there is brown and red for 875.

oh... I seen it's all same original colour but there is one store I seen quite darker the other seems much lighter. Thanks

 

[SinRed]

can recommend a nice pair of red wing boots?

is my first =X

I am thinking of getting

1) Red Wing Heritage 3141 - Work Chukka
Red Wing Heritage 3141 - Work Chukka - Brown Briar Oil Slick Leather - Free Shipping & Return Shipping - Shoebuy.com

2) Beckman
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/flisco/item/redwing-9013/

but it seems many people are wearing those like army boots one, so thinking of trying too.. any model to recommend?

where in orchard can I try ah?

Orchard you can try Leftfoot at Far East, Cineleisure and Cathay. There's also a shoe shop at the Meridien. But that Im not sure still there or not. Can try Denim Store at Mandarin Gallery also. Chukka is more casual, Beckman is more dressy. Moc toe esp, 875 will be the classic model.

I think you are referring to the moc toe model. of which 875 is the oro-ginal leather. the diff colour means diff model. 1907, 9075, 875 etc... all these are diff models, but same design. main diff are the type of leather used hence thats why you all see 875 in diff colour tones.

there are cheap places to get RW online from. revolveclothing and shoebuy are just 2 which i use frequently. as for how just do a quick google bah.

Nowadays, RW got so many models and colors. last time during my younger days (ya late 90s ), there's only brown, black and suede, roundtoe and moc toe. The most popular model were 875, 8165, 8179 and 8173.... Thanks to 木村拓哉 there's a demand on 8875 and Singapore RW start bringing them...

Bro your 875 is not dress shoe or SAF boots leh, don't apply any wax.
Mink oil, boot oil will do

personally, black abilene, too.. plain for me, oro too bright for me. i'd go for sage mojave or the briar oil slick.
