Red Wing Shoes

[tody]

I just discovered that the Chelsea Rancher style seems to be discontinued by RW. My pair of 2918 is over 15 years old and has had quite a lot of resoles. I'm not sure they're in for another round.
Is there any comparable chelsea boot by a reputable boot maker?

Really love my Eat Dust x Redwing Pecos.
Unfortunately it is really exhausting to get the 555 pulled over them

I’ve had these Mocs for a long time now. Recently, I’ve grown tired of store bought hiking boots from REI or the like. I’m sure there are some great ones out there, but I’ve had so many expensive, yet shit quality and short lived pairs of hiking boots. I’m over it.

Started hiking in my Mocs with a vibram 100 about 1.5 years ago on shorter, local hikes. This summer, I’ve taken them full bore backpacking. Took them to Italy to hike the Dolomites for 4 days. Just recently took them on a 6 day, 40 mile trek into the Bridger Wilderness, Wyoming.

They may just be the best hikers I’ve ever had. Crazy comfortable. The Vibram 100 is a beast of a sole. Layer of Mink oil before I hit the trail…I’m solid!!

Man I love this. I have some Mocs for sale here on the forum but you’ve got me thinking about re-soling them and putting them into hiking mode! Yours look outstanding. Do you use a sole insert?

@Karol Lets continue the 9060 talk here

Initially didn’t plan to buy these at all (don’t we all know that feeling) but a combination of seeing them on a friend’s feet who got them from Japan, RW Munich getting 150 pairs for their 10th anny party, and finally this grail patina pic from Reddit, pushed me over the edge.

These look good when you put them on for the first time, but just like 21Oz they become spectacular after some heavy wear and tear.

The Reddit pic (see https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/9dv74s/red_wing_9060_flatbox_klondike_beckman_boot_4/?rdt=43173 for the full post)

Here’s where mine are at

@weftyarn they look awesome and will only get better! I wish Redwing US would stock them.

I stayed up “late” and was also fortunate enough to grab a pair of the 9060’s
Here with my SBG’s

Cheers

Dammit @weftyarn and @PJ , now i have a big want for some 9060's. Impossible to get here unless I want to pay Double+.
Looking snazzy though you guys!
I've definitely been wearing my Blacksmiths a lot more lately.

@weftyarn I love how this is one of those pairings of style and leather that works regardless if its new or beaten up. The toe box sagging due to lack of celastic insert makes them look so sleek. And the tea-core leather vibes are very visible on that vintage pair. Please keep those pictures coming!

To all the lucky folks in UK - they seem to be available in all sizes. They don't ship outside UK

@Karol See if someone will proxy for you who lives there...

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Karol Amazing to me how some domestic brands market items that exclude their domestic customers. I guess its because these were a joint venture with an overseas partner?

[Karol]

@goosehd I already started to check. So far the first option did not pan out. But I hope that some of our UK lads here will have their fair shot at getting these for themselves.

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT somehow just seeing this haha. Better late than never. Yeah. I use those green feet (think thats what they’re called inserts. Got them from REI. Make a huge difference.

3 year old Iron Ranger 8084 with IHWE-Kiltie horsehide black

[Matt]

Those look great.

[weftyarn]

Beautiful boots right there @Karol
I normally hate Kilties but damn I like these. First time I’m saying this.

On my way to Freiburg in my trusty 9060. Successfully broken in. Now waiting for some tea core to pop through

Only have history with chelseas and moc toes after selling factory second copper r&t iron rangers a while back after a sale of theirs. Wife and I have a delightful cabin weekend near redwing so I got to stop by and pick these 8089 (oro) up:
