Red Wing Shoes
-
I honestly thought that I wouldn’t buy a pair of Redwings again after getting to know some other brands. But then summer was coming and I came across those 8106’s… I was defenseless right there at the spot and my gosh are they a nice pair of shoes, the double stitching at the sole, the colour white, brown, black and nickel omg how nice...(imo that is of course)
Not just your opinion. Those look super cool.

Had my 8111s updated w some lugs as well

After having lost my IR and Moc Toe, I was just left with my Truman boots. I needed one with a crepe sole that would be ideal for my left knee that does not have an ACL. I do not want those vans or any soft sport shoes. I decided to get the Red Wing Chukka that just arrived today. They are damn so comfortable.

I got some 10875s in December of 2014 during the peak "lumberjack" era and loved them but felt a little too … trendy. I ditched them when they needed a resole (like an idiot) and formed the opinion that RW sucked and ppl who wore RW sucked. Turns out that I sucked.
I just picked up some 875s and, for the price, these things are great. Here they are with a thin coat of Obenauf LP:

My 875s from 2016 I think .
I love my lofgrens but man with red wing you get the biggest bang for your buck. 5years, lot of work, no resole, not even new laces. And That for 300 bucks. But yeah… guess they could use a fresh up now.Gesendet von meinem SM-A505FN mit Tapatalk

Those are beat up as hell @chbronsonx! And they look wonderful. I agree that the price and quality that comes with it is damn near unbeatable. Plus, RWs look better with age and after bring super beat up. Have a spot in mind to have them resoled, etc.? I've been seeing ppl get theirs repaired and use a thicker leather midsole (is that what it's called?) like this:

Got my 1907s resoled

I miss my 875's! They were the most comfortable Moc Toe boots that I ever had.

Wearing my 875 oro today

just picked up a pair of 8085 Iron Rangers locally for $150 today. Basically worn just long enough to break in and then they decided to sell. Loving them so far!

While I can’t wait to add a pair of Wesco engineer boots into the daily rotation, I still love my RW 8196. They’ve been beaten to hell since I bought them second hand off eBay in 2014, survived multiple trips, moves, and life events. A local cobbler gave them a proper clean up and resole and they are my go-to work boots. Complete with shoe laces I stole from a pair of Vans haha

^ Is that the RW Round Toe? Looks awesome!

They are! I tried the Iron Ranger, but just didn’t love them. The briar oil slick color sold me on the 8196 and I’ve loved how they’ve aged. At this point, it’s like wearing a pair of slippers.

^ They don't sell these anymore? When I got my pair of Chukkas, I wanted to go for the Round Toe, but could not find them.
-
Yeah, that's correct. The only two that still stand out from RW are the IR's and Moc Toe's. Everything else is not that interesting, while the other worthy models like the round toe is not available anymore.

Looking at a pair of Pecos now. How do they compare to your other Red Wings sizewise? I wear a 9D in Iron Rangers and wondering if a 9D in Pecos would be the right size. I have average narrow feet, so not worried about width.
