        Over at my friends house today and had to take a couple pics of his red wings bought in 1996, eighteen years ago. These are crazy worn. Resoled three times.

              Just picked up these Red Wing style# 8199. Haven't seen much mention of them, so I thought I'd snap a few pics. The leather, which RW calls "Hawthorne Driftwood" is pretty interesting. It's the most "raw" looking leather I've seen from them and this is the only boot I've seen use it. It comes lighter out of the box – these pics are after a coating of Obenauf's LP and I added some new waxed cotton laces. They should develop a nice patina. Here are pics:

                Nice boots madmonday and bl@ster! I think Red Wing offers  great value for money in terms of quality.

                    Those might be about ready for a resole.  Look comfy.

                      yeah they might be, but i'm actually weird about them & want to leave them a little while longer.  they have helped me paint, move & mow my lawn for the past few years so they actually get worked in which is rare for me & my boots. think a resole might make them less comfy . . . yes makes no sense but true

                          All Christy soles should be resoled.

                                ^ ah, seems a new troll has appeared on the forum in the form of the christy-sole-anator.

                                i thought we had that covered with injun with his feelings on cuffs & boots & me with my general random trolling behavior.  glad to have you on board G$, i will continue to feed you christies so you can continue to share how much you love them with the rest of us  🙂  🙂  😛  :-\ ::) 😉

                                    In Giles's honor I resoled my Chelsea's because the original soles hurt my knees so much that I couldn't wear em.  They look a little weird but I don't care.  Most comfortable boots I own now.

                                    PUT DOWN THAT STARBUCKS, PICK UP THAT GNARBUCKS!!

                                      Looks like the old Romeos. It's the impact resistance that sole offers that makes it worth whatever cat calls you're bound to get 😉 They look fine to me but all of my tastes aren't highly regarded 😃
