@stever:

APPLY OBENAUFS

BOOTS LOOK LIKE MOONBOOTS

I applied Sno-Seal is that ok? Or should I still buy obenaufs and apply that too?

Question…...

With the Heritage Chukkas, TTS???

Appreciated,

Cris.

Practically all RW shoes Size Down Half!

[crisone]

^ Yeah, I was thinkin the same, but the site where I got my 8130's, they said to size down a half, but with the Chukkas, they didn't note anything about sizing, so it has me wondering…...

Thanks...

Cris.

I have the 3140 Chukkas and I wouldn't size down on them. Don't know about the heritage chukkas sorry.

Anyone has a pair of red wings with vibram soles? How are the vibram soles compared to the original red wings crepe soles? Going to send my 8138 to resole with the black vibram soles soon.

my vibram wedge soles last way longer then the original soles

After just about 6 months of wear, the soles on my red wings are now in a very terrible state because of the way I walk. (Plus I'm such a fatass) However, I'm still rather disappointed as the soles on my Dr Marten are not as bad.

I need better soles!

DOCS LAST FOREVER!!!!!!!!  it scares me how small the wear becomes after a lot of time.

[ronaldlsh]

Yea man, and the red wings cost more than 2 times of the Doc. Disappointing..

Isn't that all to do with where they are made? Redwing USA, Dr Martens China they do still make some Docs in the UK but they are close to Redwing in price.
Plus IMO Redwings are far superior.
