Red Wing Shoes

[FlavourFade]

Was eyeing these for a couple years, after I saw a review of a really beaten pair on YouTube. Now finally got them and love how lightweight and easy to wear the 3141 Work Chukkas are. Compared to other Red Wings I had the break in is not existing, compared to my John Lofgrens they def need to soften up.

@ Flavourfade love those, i just got a pair of them in CRT leather. They feel great but they've been giving me a hot spot on my right heel only. Took a day off of them today. From my experience with the Briar, its a bit more forgiving in my Moc.

anybody peep the new Olive Mohave Mocs? Digging these a lot....

Nova Rock 2024… the boots have about 18 months of daily use in them.

Lil clean up

@FlavourFade @Denimhead-0 moved my response from the motorcycle thread here. I ended up going with a lightly used find, also on last 8, rather than the 2060. A 2012 round toe, in the copper roughout. The previous owner barely wore them and had insoles in, so didn’t mold the cork/leather. They’re less broke in than my latest pair of work chukkas. Freshened them up with a thorough wash and condition. I’m already thinking these might be my favorite pair. It’s just a shame they’re extinct.

Wearing my 9060 for work today and did not remember them being that comfy. They are great to walk in and look awesome.

@FlavourFade The 9060 is indeed surprisingly comfortable even with a non boot sock. Wear mine a lot at work too.
Cheers

Then show us some pictures, love to see some wear and tear on the 9060 @PJ

@WhiskeySandwich I have been eyeing a pair of these. I run a 9 in my Mocs, you think 9.5 on these would be dialed based on your experience?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@derek111 I’m not sure if I’m normal, but I’m a 9 in all RW except the work chukka. The round toe is on the #8 last and is the best fit for my foot. These fit exactly like my Blacksmiths. The Mocs in the same size are roomier on my feet, volume-wise, that goes for the 1907 too, on the #45, which I wear without the insole. My brannock is 10, and I wear a US10 in Vans. I sure wish the still made the round toe tho, def my favorite model. I might try and find another pair in another leather.

@WhiskeySandwich I decided to go with the Weekender chukka, actually found some I could try on. Went half size up from the Mocs, and they feel perfect. Thanks for the Intel dude!

[FlavourFade]

Hast anyone changed the laces on their 9060? Still don't really like the waxed ones but not sure about new laces and what colour? Maybe gold?

@Denimhead-0 those sure are nice! man I'd love if they did a 360 welt on these with a Traction Tred and no speed hooks. They ought to bring back the roundtoe/rover. I've been finding I don't like having heels, but man I do love my Blacksmiths.

[Denimhead 0]

@WhiskeySandwich I think Blacksmiths are my favs, also love the round and Moc toes.

On the constant look out for a well-priced pair of the low Oxford Moc Toe in beige.. not usually a boot man but they are outstanding!
