Red Wing Shoes
-
I've store bought three pairs of red wings over the years which I would definitely say suffered quality control issues. My latest pair of moc toes bought very recently had the sole edges finished by someone drunk or with a wonky eye. Let's just say heavy handed with the finishing wheel, but on one boot only!

Never had an issues with Redwing either & I tend 2 buy them 2nd hand or on sale.
The moc toe oxfords are great

I can say I've never had an QC issues with my RWs, but I also wear mine nearly everyday, so I expect them to break down.
RW is a nostalgic brand for me as my dad always wore RW and Irish Setter boots for yard work, camping, etc. he was born and raised in Dallas, so it was Justin boots with slacks or Red Wings with some torn up Levis.
Here is my RW set:
Moc Toes from 2008
Round Toe JCrew edition from 2011
Iron Rangers from 2015
Blacksmith from 2016

Headed to New Orleans tomorrow for a St.Pattys day parade - the forecast is rain rain and more rain - so aside from My trusty IH-536, I figured I needed a fresh pair of oiled boots to keep me dry.
It had been a bit since I oiled up the 1907, so I figured id go ahead an put some polish on the Blacksmith's and Oil up my ostrich Justin boots as well.
The Crew Before:
The 1907 after:
Went ahead and put some boot polish on the blacksmith boots. Wasn't sure how the material would suck it up since it's essentially singed rough out, but red wing suggested it treat the leather.
Before:
After some black boot polish and shine brush:
Turned out well!

Hi all,
as some of you know, my internship at IH was part of my bachelor's degree and so is my thesis that I am planning to write this summer.
I will write about customer and brand loyalty of (heritage) brands/ manufactories and decided to include expert interviews and at least one survey. Depending on how this one goes, I'd also like to do an IH survey at a later point.
For now, this one is for all you Red Wing Shoes owners out there! The survey will take approx. 6 minutes and is available in English and German.
