Red Wing Shoes
-
Great advice guys thank you! Just what I needed to hear
-
I always wear a EU 42,5. I bought my RW´s in size EU 41,5 D, still a little snug, but super comfy!!!

I'd try Red Wing Amsterdam. They sometimes have Japanese exclusives, and the European HQ for Red Wing is in the centre of Amsterdam, so it would strike me as the obvious starting point.
I've just got my first pair of Red Wings, the Beckman in dark cherry (style 9011). I'm thinking of using black polish on them, which will eventually darken the boot to a deep burgundy colour. I've seen a pair of Foster and Son boots done that way and they looked fantastic.

Those are great salami, hope you can find them!

Looks rough out to me…

Same here, even says so here:
I'm so fucking picking those up… 2ndhand or not... Toss in a fresh insole and voila...
-
They look like they're in good shape, great catch there!

I am awaiting their return from the cobbler!!
Discussed the work needed with owner of the shop and he decided it wouldn't be too difficult at all.
He is going to build up the heel with leather then sand down all the leather together to get it smooth and consistent, re-shape the heel into a cuban heel, add a vibram heel block and replace front half with a new vibram sole to match existing.
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.
think I need more chukkas in my life!
