                Hi guys, quick question re getting my Red Wing 3141 Chukkas resoled:

                I'm after a commando sole and the only place locally that'll do them is Timpson's… I'm not super-convinced they'll do a great job (google is not their friend in this regard); does anyone have any experience of sending their treasured comfy foot gloves to a Vibram resoler in the UK?

                I could send them to the RW-approved cobbler, but they only offer RW soles, it would appear.

                Any thoughts?

                  Have you looked at all the soles available through RW directly?

                  I know my RW store showed me a book of about 30 sole options, Lot of which never made it in production Boots, but could be done for a resole at the factory

                    Good question – however I neglected to mention, apologies, that I'm a long way from a proper RW shop (I'm in Edinburgh, UK – nearest I believe is in London, and they just point you to the afore-mentioned cobbler somewhere else down in the southern UK, who quoted me ~£100).

                    But you're right, perhaps I should ask after their other soles, the non-RW ones may well be cheaper…

                      RW use Viblam now and again so that may work out. I hear good things about the Viblam re-soling joint in London though.

                        Thanks, good point, I spotted something about the Vibram ?Academy? in London a while back – I'll drop them a line

                          That’s the one I mean. Pretty sure they take shipped business and as I said, the write ups I’ve seen have been positive.

                              It might also be worth trying http://www.wijsmanschoenherstellers.nl/en/ as they’ve got a very good reputation in regards to RW resoling. Granted they aren’t exactly local, however if you’re needing to send your boots anyway, the additional shipping costs may not be that much more. I’m fairly certain another forum member has used them, and mentioned them in this thread.

                                Thanks, dude, I'll check them out too. Vibram Academy London were very helpful – if I can't find a more accommodating cobbler up here (Scotland), I may well be sending them south/across the North Sea… What a palaver.

                                        Big fan of the Harvesters.

                                        Picked up a pair of Ice Cutters in the sales.  Wanted something good in snow.

                                          ^ looking great, i also need to own some ice cutters some day…

                                          question: wore my red wing 9111 round toe yesterday in melting snow and was surprised i got wet feet, cause this never happened before. i always brushed dirt away and conditioned them with mink oil now and then. seems like the water came through the seam/stitching area between boot and sole... would it make sense to use some leather protector or waterproofing spray or is it maybe too late and only a resole would solve this problem?

                                          When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn’t like me can kiss my ass.

                                            @GuyH, looking good and excellent choice!

                                            Bought the brown one in autumn 2016 and wore it, while walking with the dog, almost every day since then. To my feet they very comfortable and I can walk in them for couple hours with no stress on the feet. They also let barley any water through, highly recommend!
