Red Wing Shoes

[Graeme]

I'm thinking of getting a pair of the blue 8" Mocs (style 8125), but earlier posts in this thread suggest that the white soles don't stand up to abuse that well. I can be pretty on boots, and I tend to walk a fair bit more than average, so should I be concerned about wear?

The other option would be a pair of the Loggers (style 4585), which have a (more durable?) Vibram sole. Anyone had any experience with these?

Thanks.

Wow!  Thanks for the link!  I was able to order several pairs of Geniune Red Wing goodness for a low, low discount price!  The only weird thing about the process is that these US-made shoes are shipping from Guangzhou, China…

Got these RW 9042 oxfords recently. Couple pics:

Nice pick-up. Looks like they need a touch of polish and a good buffing and then they're good to go.

They look great!

Whoa!! Never seen those 4561's before. I really like that colour contrast. Its subtle but such an integral part of the look at the same time.

Totally agree. I'm split between the 1907 and the 877 as the defining boot of the brand.

Must agree about the 1907s, lovin' mine now they've softened up a bit!

[Takeshi]

do you use any Mink Oil or product on them ? ^

I'll probably use some Obenaufs on them when required, they're still pretty new at the moment, only a couple of weeks old, straight out of the box in the pic.

I just prefer the smell of Obenaufs to Mink Oil to be honest!

I've had my 1907's for over a year now and I don't use any oil on them at all. Great boots.

Any tips how to clean the sides of the white soles? My 875's are starting to look a bit scruffy…
