          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.

                  Just bought a pair of the 9060 yesterday at F&P. Not sure what they have still in stock for sizes.

                  Fingers crossed that they fit.

                  I had sworn off RW because the newer iterations of IR did not last for me like the old ones. But the 9060 really speak to me and I "needed" a black boots.

                  Too late for thunderdome unfortunately.

                      @Perpetual_beta still figuring out if I maybe wait a little because I am wearing my custom 875 for thunderdome right now and won't wear them for a couple months anyway. Fingers crossed your pair fits!!

                          @FlavourFade its overpriced in EBay imo. I use Worldshopping. They’re appearing almost everywhere now and their service is pretty good.

                            Scored some 8876 seconds for $140. They don’t seem like seconds at all. Copper rough and tough is my favorite RW leather

                              Looking at these boots, I don’t think they’re seconds. They don’t have the little punch hole that red wing always puts on seconds. And I’ve had seconds before and they have flaws. I can’t find any on these! Besides the scuffs from being in the box and sliding around. I’m stoked

                                @Choko Great buy , definitely a favourite of mine too the copper rough and tough leather takes some breaking in but well worth it . I think always looks better untreated. My first pair of 1907 I treated and darkened the leather never got them back to the original colour.

                                  @Jcaz6996 yeah cr&t is tricky to keep looking like new. I have some 9111’s and I used mink oil on them. NEVER AGAIN. That stuff made them so dark and they will never look the same again. I have some 1907s too and I used red wings boot cream on them and those actually turned out pretty good

                                      Day 3 of 9060s. Increasing wear. Walked 3 miles to day. They seem to break in a bit faster than what I remember from IRs. But then I always break them in quick and walk a lot.

                                      It is a well made boot with a leather midsole (rare for RW), which may contribute to the pleasant wear from the get go. No obvious manufacturing flaws.

                                      The laces are atrocious. Too short and come loose in minutes. Immediately ordered from Pisgah Limited.

                                      Will post some photos after a bit more wear.

                                      Overall, seems to be a reasonably good boot. Hoping to get 2-3 years and 2 resoles out of them.

                                        Really enjoying the varying stages of patina happening on these Red Wings. The Iron Ranger and 875 I swapped in paracord laces from Pisgah Range, which I think have really elevated the look and feel of these boots. I’m also digging the crocking effect happening in the rough out on the Olive Mojave, and hoping to give them more wear time this year. The newest pair are the Black Prairie Moc Toe, which I’ve swapped in with whiskey colored laces from Guarded Goods.
