Red Wing Shoes

[specmvl]

Red Wings 8138 after around 18months. In terms of construction no comparison to my new White`s - still like them a lot. They are due for a sole repair, does any of you guys know who does it Germany? I guess the retailers in Berlin/Hamburg and Frankfurt offer it only for their customers (bought mine in NY).
Currently talking to a Cologne based cobbler if he can get a Vibram Christy sole.

these moc toes are growing on me real hard.

which leather is that spec?

[specmvl]

Red Wing calls it Briar Oil slick leather. Oil tanned cow I think but not certain. Have treated them with Obenauf`s leather oil a couple of times.

put the ice cutters to the test today.  10 inches of snow,  3 vehicles plowed in,  ice dams on the roof…..  been out shoveling knee deep snow for the past 4 hours.  feet are warm and dry still.  these get a big thumbs up.  great boots.

I haven't posted pcitures of these for over a year I think…I own them for three years now, but they only get worn when I'm outdoors.

@riffblaster:

Just got a pair of icecutters through a trade.  Thumbs waaaaay up.  Super comfortable, wool lined,  waterproof, and come with a removable insole.  The price point is high for these so I can't say if I think they're worth the money yet,  I need to abuse them for a bit.

I like the look of these boots!

funny idea  , but not sure if this needs its own thread…i'd move it into the red wing thread!

Question for owners of several pairs of redwing.. I'm looking at buying some moc toe boots online, do they run the same sizing as iron rangers. I'm a 43D in the iron rangers and they are perfect fit, and these are down a size as generally recommended. So would I be the same in a pair of 875's?

[rocket]

I do have / had them all in a US 8 and they fit all the same, imo

[Peterpiper]

Thanks Rocket, that's what I was hoping for.. Cheers.
