Red Wing Shoes

My mate is a cobbler and he change the sole on my Redwing Chukkas from an off white christy sole to a Lightweight Vibram Gumlite sole.
Very pleased as they are now comfortable and the new sole has fundamentally improved the look of the boot.
Just need to get some fresh laces!

Thankyou sir. Very pleased with the overall look of them. Wasnt sure what to expect! Threw some red laces on them and they look perfect now imo.
Plus they are so much more comfortable! May buy a new pair and get him to do it again.

Took my redwings for a hike over the weekend. They're in need of some oil.

Quite like the collab pair but holding out for a brown waxed pair as I like how it 'breaks through' blacked wax.
I had a pair of IR 8111s for a while and sold them as I had bought too large a pair.
I now have a pair of the 8105 Oxford Mocs (roughout oxford = yum) and these 2974s:
Which are an unusual leather I can't seem to recall, and as discontinued boots there's little info on em. They have a faint nap to them but they're for all intents a smooth leather.. described on Rakuten as 'black nubuck' but that doesn't quite cut it.. Really strange, but I got 'em for a steal! Still to work out exactly how to care for them.
