Red Wing Shoes

@crisone:

These just came in, I could've went down a half size if needed to, but true would be best.

If you don't mind me asking - what do those chukkas like yours cost?

[crisone]

^ They retail for about $238, and I got them from shoebuy.com, they had a 20% off with free shipping, so it came out to $190 and some change shipped to Cali…....

Sorry…my last question about these. Do they have any sort of lining in them? Is there any sort of reinforced toe cap or anything to give the chukka some support?

I have always worn the 595 chukkas (http://www.redwingshoes.com/red-wing-shoe/595-red-wing-shoes/595-red-wing-mens-chukka-brown), which I can usually get for $160 or so. The soles are a bit different than yours but I am interested now after seeing your photo.

Anyone who's living in a climate with different seasons knows that there comes a time in every season that you're completely fed up with one and all your thoughts and feelings are focused towards the next one. For me right now it's winter. I'm so over it only want to wear spring clothes and shoes. Doesn't matter that it's still chilly out, I just don't feel like wearing boots anymore and when biking season starts I'll probably be wearing Vans all the time..

So today I have been conditioning my Red Wings (washed them yesterday and let them dry). Here's them waiting for the oil to dry:

Some nice indigo stains and evo, these are a little over a year old:

These are a month older or so than the 875:s but I haven't been wearing them as much:

Both pairs are going back into their boxes when they've dried up. Still have to condition my wifes engineer boots tonight.

spaceballs…sorry for the late reply, but yeah, the shoe seems to be reinforced and there's support, as of the lining, it's the same leather lining like my 8130's, I just threw in a Nike insole, and it seems to be cool for now, still breaking it in, first wear:

crisone, is it me or is your hem a bit wider than normal? Just wondering because I don't see any signs of roping. Anyhow, RW's look great!

[crisone]

^ I actually got them tapered at my local tailor, the original cuff opening on the 634S' are too wide, especially with my waist size (38), so I got them done to about a 9" opening, hence the regular stitching, I'd love to get them re-chain stitched though…..

And thanks.
