      Hi,
      I have always had an interest in trying out the Red Wing Supersole as I do seem to go hard on my soles and want to see if these do offer an extended life.

      Specifically I was always attracted to the "08804" Moc Toe Supersole Oro Russet Boot. Having contacted the UK RW store I have learned that they have been removed from the UK (and probably the european) markets… this has made me obsess about them for some reason!

      Do any of my IH colleagues know of any in stock in Europe (Size UK8/US9), or any US retailers that would send them across to me? My initial searches havent been fruitful.
      Best regards,
      Chris

        Does anyone in the forum own a pair of the Redwing 8201?
        It’s a 6” Chelsea in amber harness.

          Well my trusty Red Wings went for their first re-sole today after 6-ish years of wear. Should be picking them up in a few days…

            They’re back. Not sure about the horrible brown laces, but they were free.

            Also took me a while to get over the fact that they’ve been brushed up. 😞

            Still, pleased with the outcome (and the fact that the guy decided to knock £10 off the cost).

              Doing actual work in my actual work boots today. Weird, right? [emoji23]

              These are just steel toed work boots that only get used for dirty jobs. I really love em. Man can they take a beating.

              Think it, be it.

                What do you guys think about this build!?

                  They look really good @Brock . I often think that RW’s look exponentially better with a well done custom resole. Search up a German cobbler called «schuggott custom shoe repair» on IG he has lots of great pics of his work, most of it on RW’s.

                    I agree with @neph93 - RWs look better with a decent welt job applied. Similar to their higher end GT boots or the Chelsea’s @Brock asked about earlier

                      Thanks guys! I agree, but wasn’t sure what other people thought.. I personally dig the thick leather midsole.
                      @neph I have seen that guys work, he’s pretty awesome, also check out leathersniffers on IG. That’s where I got this idea.

                        I've been thinking of getting my Rangers resoled, cuz I don't like the cork soles.

                                Any of you have experience with sizing on the no.8 last? I kinda like this Rover boot and was curious how it compares to companies like Alden’s tru balance last
