posted my only pair over here:

I got them about three years ago and they have seen a lot of wear. Hence the departure from their original honey color.
However, I never bought more Red Wing models, since I find any foot support is barely there and the leather quality is different in same pair. Build quality is OK, but not exceptional.

I still like them a lot and wear them whenever I don't have to walk too much.

The last couple of years I wore only Vans, even in Winter. On thursday I wanna buy my first Red Wings, I really like the Moc-Toe. Now it´s a hard decision between the 875 and the 1907. We´ll see how I decide 
Both are beauties!!!

[Blackheart]

I have the 1907's and love them, looking forward to your choice JCM

Great amp head btw, I have one from 1987 running EL34's…

Thanks
I have the 2204, the 50 watt edition, from 1982. 30 Years old and still so fucking loud and awesome!!! He had some modifications, but the guy at the local guitar-workshop did a great job and now it´s in his originally condition with new tubes! Of course he runs with EL34 and 12AX7 Tubes
But that do not help me with my choice between 875/1907 haha

[Blackheart]

Oh yeah, 12AX7's and EL34's are an absolute! Old Marshall's are the best.

Try on both pairs of RW's and see which pair feels best, I did that and went with the 1907's because I liked
the leather insole liners.

Jup, that´s what I wanna do. My girl is going to H&M in Hamburg, and I gonna visit the RW Store

[Blackheart]

Good deal, I'm sure you'll find the perfect pair.

875

[Blackheart]

Excellent choice JCM! They look great!

[JCMx800]

Thanks!!! It´s my first pair of boots since forever, and I am really looking forward to wear them!

nice JCM, congrats. for colder months you may put in a nice lambwool-insole keeping your feet warm; I do that as well on my 875's and is supercomfortable have fun with your first ones and enjoy the break-in time, afterwards they're getting really really soft

[yongIH]

@JCM:Great choice. You wouldn't regret. Take awhile to break in, after which I hoped you will enjoy it! Here is mine just roughly over 1 year.

Did a clean up and applied Obenauf's LP on 875 today.

I modded the sole on my Iron Rangers a little bit:

colors match the weather;

..and slowly breaking in, after about a month of blistering!

Should a cobbler be able to resole and shape my RW 1914 to the sole configuration displayed on the whites boots? I have been meaning to go about this for a while but I have been a little weary of putting my boots in someone else's hands.
