Looking good @Denimhead-0 . I’ll be making my first ever trip down to Red Wing London store next Thursday. I have an IR sizing issue that needs resolving once and for all!
Enjoy the new boots - looking forward to seeing how they develop -
@jiminstitches said in Red Wing Shoes:
@Denimhead-0 I’d love a pair of these hope they remake them
They just did a limited run. Check out Red Wing London website, they may have your size.

Picked up these Chukkas for a steal on eBay.
Pre-broken in, but cleaned up, and freshly re-soled.
Best of both world, and easier on my wallet
-
@T4920 what a catch! Just set up my saved search
-
@long_john86 the seller has a website under the name trimworks2000, about 15% cheaper there than on eBay (wish I known this before!)
Will probably grab another pair. Had RW Chukkas before, but they got stolen whilst travelling, such a versatile pair of shoes.
-
@T4920 ooh thanks for the heads up! And looking good!
-
Welp. Ruined a good pair of boots. These 8833s were too light for me so I wanted to dye them a little bit of a darker brown color. So I used Fiebings “beige” roughout dye. The color on their website looked like exactly what I wanted. But look at these things lmao. They’re orange. Guess I’m going dark brown or black now.
Less is more

@Choko I kinda like the way they turned out,
-
@Denimhead-0 yeah I don’t hate them. They just look exactly like my 875s already. I just don’t get how they turned orange haha. My wife likes them. She hated the original color, she always told me they looked like “timbos”

Thinking of throwing some Mustang Paste on these guys…
How do you folks go about cleaning/rejuvenating the edges of the white sole (traction tred)?

@long_john86 the star drops - pink stuff cleaning product works wonders.. about 5 quid a tub on Amazon and only takes a tiny amount to get them pure white again
-
@DeeDee85 awesome cheers mate! Just placed an order!
-
@Tago-Mago lmao. Yeah I should’ve put that pic first

Seaside
Clean and polish time
Removed false tongue and changed Pisgah lace colour. Tried out mustang paste and cleaned the sides of the sole with The Pink Stuff (thanks @DeeDee85 for the suggestion)
Very happy with the horse oil. It darkens them up, makes them richer, adds depth, and really picks up any existing patina/dye transfer from denim. I was worried at first as it looked like it was applying unevenly, but it all mellows and evens out overnight.

@DeeDee85 Cheers mate! I think I could have been more patient and spend more time on them - especially the soles - but had to wrap up to get the little one to bed!
-
@long_john86 looking at how much the soles have brightened up, it’s about time I gave my 1907’s some TLC I think!

@Choko you been wearing these? curious how they're working out
