He's on this forum so he's probably typing from his padded cell…

1907.  The leather is quite noticeably nicer…

[Giles]

Doing my best to feck these up…..

[Beatle]

I wish Red Wing would make these with a vibram huez

[FOXY]

More like a fashion statement of some sorts, but I couldn't help myself - love the sole, the comfort and the colour!

Blueberries…a buddy of mine got those also, the color IRL is beautiful

I was looking at the Redwing Logger Boots 4585 Briar Oil Slick boots on UK sites and these guys have UK size 6&7 reduced to £164. No affiliation, just thought people might be interested. Well, small people…

thinking hard about a resole…

@Finn666:

some fucked up 8138s

think i'll go with a nice vibram sole to match the season:

[Guest]

^ But despise the outer soles, correct?

[Seul]

Part of the charm, really. Not something you'd wear on a miserable day anyhow isn't it?..

[Finn666]

needed a break and since the weather was still nice, i thought about shooting some pics of my Red Wing 8138

[Beatle]

perfect , these look beefy

[ronaldlsh]

Very nice finn.. I have the similar pair, but I destroyed the crepe sole in about 6 months of daily wear..

I'm going to bring them for resole this afternoon, and should be going with the vibram commando soles.

What u think guys?

[Jii]

Do it.

hahaha… one page back i've posted the same pic since i'm also thinking about resoling these with the vibram sole.
allready contacted the red wing store...

Is RW Crepe sole same as Vibram Crepe sole?  *cause I have a vague memory that they are not, and vibram sole doesn't wear so fast.  Commando soles tend to gather small stones, dogshit etc, which isn't nice…

just my 2 cents worth

Not totally the same…well at least when it comes to the looks (dunno about the different compositions thought!)

vibram:

and you're right about the dogshit part on the commando soles, but when it comes to having grip on icey undergrounds and on snow, they're way better than the crepe soles…that's why i'm thinking of the resole.
and since the yuketen i bought also come with a crepe sole, i thought it would be nice if my rw's would go commando
