Red Wing Shoes

[hectic]

I treated my rough out Iron Rangers with Barbour wax treatment, painted it on with a brush when it was liquid.

They went a bit darker but it was quite successful (supple, waterproof etc.).

Damn, office carpet is ugly!

Looks great hectic!

Little peek of Two Feet Ahead socks too.

Any ideas where I can get replacement traction tread soles?

[injunjack]

Have you asked the finnish retailer??? I think they were about to start resoleing as well, or at least have a cobbler to do it for them.

Well after several years, a few heel replacements, and carving new treads in with a power tool, it was finally time to resole my trusty 1907s.
I'm a crepe sole guy all the way, but don't love how that classic cream color pretty much always looks dirty (especially where I live).
What better solution than the Vibram Christy in black…

Looks good!!

[Giles]

That looks soooooooooo much nicer than a cream Christy..

[Katsushin]

Thanks, I think so too.
I never even knew they made them in black until my cobbler turned me on to them.
Toying with the idea of retrofitting my OSBs with them eventually as well…

[rocket]

they do, they are also available from RW on some models and in my experience the black ones are also more durable

Thanks Kat, I think I found the right kind of soles for my next resole job.
