@riffblaster:

those look awesome.  anybody ever seen a classic round toe resoled with a lug?

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.

8116 a few wears in, decided to give them their first coat of mink oil. Damn this leather is amazing.

Nice!  Red Wings Ironrangers remains a classic. Soles not too thick, heels not too high. For me,just perfect.

Betty and the newish 4545's

[Dion]

Are those the Wrenchmonkees-collabo?

[Tidal]

Yep.  Have a pair of 8111's and love them, so had my eye out for a black or charcoal version for a while.  Saw these just before they were released on Instagram and they ticked all boxes (rough out, vibram sole, black). Still breaking them in but love them so far.

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.

The RW Master Care Kit looks brilliant!

Folderol stuff … RW's (like other brands) are 'Work Boots' and no exhibits for a showcase
A brush and an old rag is enough

8111's new vs ~1.5 years.  2 saddlesoap washes and Obenaufs applications.

Mike Evo Mike!

Snagged these Blacksmith's at my local RW shop.  Needed a sleek black boot and was happy when I put these on.

(Feels like some sort of heavily waxed or "singed" rough out material)

Figured I would post up some porn for you guys and gals. I have been rocking these pretty hard the last year. I have only used Bick 4 sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly….just whenever I had time and I thought they were a little dry. I do plan on cleaning them with Bick 1...but oh well...ha.
