Those whom like the basic RW classics such as 8165 or 875, its cheaper to get in hk. You can either check out fa yuen street which is aka their sports shoes street. Else you can also go straight to their RW own shop, but this one is abit hard to find as its located away from crowded area and hidden in a commercial building.
I bought my 875 at the fa yuen street coz the RW shop didnt has my size. BUT be prepared to struggle with the extremely small shoe shop, so small that u barely can find a place to sit down and try the shoes.

U got the answer below. :)

You can also refer to here:
Product | Red Wing Shoes Singapore

It may not be all, but most common series will be listed there. There could be many different shades or materials, but I think the moctoe are mostly famous with 875 and 8875.

Hi all,

New to boots and just got 875. I understand that basic care would be to brush off dirt after every wear and to use some leather cleaner to clean it?

Can I get some advice on basic care and where can I get those equipment that are needed?

Thanks!

For me, I like my 8165 and 875 dirty. So I only give it a light brush after wear, but never used any leather cleaner. I rem my horse hair brush is from hush puppy costing less than $10. If you like, you can get mink oil too. But the latter is very individual, coz i know some doesnt like using it...

Sadly im too lazy to brush off dirt ... Personally i just apply obernauf to nourish the leather once in a while ...

Inserting shoe tree is a must for me

hmm... Leather is just like human skin. Can you imagine you never wash your face then apply moisturizer on? I can't rem where I read about the importance of brushing everytime u wear, else the sand or particles get stuck and harden in grooves along time...
