Red Wing Shoes

[D97x7]

@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…

Yea, those magic erasers work fantastic.

…though they make a lot of mess imo!

[Seul]

Real messy indeed… Take heed...

[Sugar Mountain]

And don't use them on your jeans, right Sal? 

[Dirty Denim]

Lol that's right…no more dry erasers or simulated anything.

[SpaceGnome]

Yea, they basically disintegrate, leaving soapy crumbs all over the place, but they work so…

1month in…

[SpaceGnome]

nice.  how was the break in?  any irritation on the vamp area?  I always struggle with low top shoes that require break in (basically anything other than a Nike) because the area where the laces are puts pressure on my foot and its almost painful for like 2 weeks until my foot and the shoe break each other in.

thanks lad. the only little "problems" i had with the shoe was that they were a bit too narrow at first, but after like 2-3days of wear they were good to go…wearing´em sockless for most of the time, comfy as hell, no sweaty feet at all...just perfect imo and a really great summer shoe as well! highly recommended imo...

no problemo mate…but if my pics sell these to you then damn...i´m just gonna post a few more then

The price point is good when looking at comparables!

this…plus they was on sale (130€) as i´ve copped´em, so no regrets at all

[SpaceGnome]

thats a good price.  I rarely see them on sale, thus the reason why I never copped a pair.  $160 is def. worth it.  Even at full price they are a good shoe, its just approaching the territory of White's and others
