        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.

                    And someone bought them whilst my proxy had made an offer. Should've bought at full price…

                    So yeah: if anyone knows where I can still buy a pair of these (3142)...  😞

                    In the meantime I'll get a pair of 3143s if all goes well...

                        RW chukkas are probably the best shoes in the world if you can get them for cheap… 75 € 3141s:

                          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.

                          @.legacy:

                          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.

                                  Redwing Beckmans in Black Cherry after a walk up the local hill. Yes, that is what it looks like on the soles. 😶

                                  I can't recommend these for hillwalking as the soles have very little traction in the wet.

                                          Question - If I'm a 11 1/2 US in Wolverine 1000 Mile boots would the 9014 Beckman in 11 1/2 US be a similar fit?  Thanks in advance for the help!

                                          EDIT - did a bit of interweb searching and I think I've answered my question…  They should work fine!

                                            I'm a UK 13, which correlates to a US 14. My (now clean and shined) Beckmans are a US 13, so you could probably go down a size.

                                            I haven't tried on a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, so can't draw any comparisons there. Sorry.
