So after years of searching for a pair of Billy Boots, I finally scouted and hunted down a pair of my own, in pretty much mint condition. Normally I'm a half size smaller (9) but wanted them to have that extra space (9,5) for a warm and fluffy inner sole with support, and room for thick winter socks. Now I just need a knife that fits the pocket.

@rovdjurstorget Beautiful.
On my target list for a size 11 -
@Denimhead-0 Thanks. You’ll get there—patience is key!
️ The only downside to the Billy Boot is that unless you cuff your jeans all the way up, the full beauty of the boot stays hidden from plain sight. But it's a cool little secret.

Am I the only one who thinks the "Will your Wings" gimmick is a weird stunt for the company to push? They're really leaning into it. Sure they last a long time, but I'm not sure my son would be very interested in my worn out, grimy, mid-range boots when I'm gone.
Maybe this should be in Rants, but I do think Red Wings advertising department has had a weird marketing direction. A lot of their ads are a bit gimmicky and faddish or fashion-forward for "heritage" gear and workwear, but they simultaneously embrace the old-way aesthetic... It's not necessarily a bad fusion in concept, but imo it's poorly executed. Like Levi's. I don't claim to be a purist or anything, but it seems finicky and inconsistent.

Thinking about getting the RW 9014 Beckman boot, black. Anybody have them? Thoughts, especially vs. Iron Ranger?
I have 2 pairs of Beckmans, black and tan. Recently had both resoled via Brentford Cobblers. Very good boot highly recommended.
My boots ready for me..

@Marty_funkhauser Nice one
they look even better in person , haven’t worn mine yet still fresh in the box .. -
Freshened up the Iron Ranger 8111’s with a cream leather mid sole and vibram arctic sole. It has a much softer feel and excellent grip now. Also swapped out the speed hooks for eyelets to keep things tight.

Hast anyone experience with buying Red Wings from Japan on eBay? I really miss my 9060 especially after @weftyarn 's update on his pair, but had to sell them because they were half size small... Now found them NIB on eBay but never ordered something from Japan there?

I order quite a bit from Japan to US, shipping has been really fast (typically DHL) never had any issues.

@Denimhead-0 thanks a lot! I'll give it a try soon I think
