Red Wing Shoes

@yongIH:

Today at work…

Your post has me looking for these on eBay, you bastard…

I've been stretching my 875 D's out for the past few months. It's been painful, but they are giving. Frequent oiling with mink oil seems to help too. The joys of purchasing RW's from Amsterdam online

[zwer]

Good to know that they do stretch in width. I'm waiting for them to go back on sale and then I'll order them.

@Seul:

And someone bought them whilst my proxy had made an offer. Should've bought at full price…

So yeah: if anyone knows where I can still buy a pair of these (3142)... 

Thank you eBay. I know I said in the Recent Purchases thread that there set me back 35 €, but I lied… It was 35.5 €...

I read an article on how many Japanese buyers file down the sole of their Red Wings to give it much thinner subtle looking sole .. anyone else heard of this ?

[Takeshi]

this picture shows similar to what I mean , the back of the sole looks filed , and the sole itself looks much more slim-line ..

Crosspost from the bargains-thread, hope that´s ok:

Worked in 'm all day - superb piglets… Love 'm to bits already... Brought a back-up pair of shoes just in case, didn't even consider them... No hassles at all...

Red Wing chukka 3142. Rough out #sand. 35 €. Really, really decent nick. Tossed in a new insole and a new lace for the right boot. Ready to go!..

i'm in love…

I don't know how you can go back to Red Wing after wearing Yuketen. That being said, I respect what they do.

[Finn666]

cuz I still like the brand and what they do!…
my Yuketens and Vibergs are dope, no question, but tbh red wing is also more in my price range since I'm still a student and all!...
I saw these in person today, tried'em on and now they're on my list!...

If I had to choose between my Tricker's or my Red Wings, chances are I'd stick with my chukkas… Honest to God... That said, if I had the money to make an MTO Tricker's chukkas... 

[Finn666]

talking about chukkas…looking to sell my red wing 3143 chukka boot!
unfortunately i bought them a half size too big (US9.5) so if anyone is looking for a pair in mint condition, hit me up!

That RW looks badass Finn. Coupled with the M65 jacket I'm sure no one dare to bug you.
hehe..

Finn: have you tried an insole?.. My brown and blueberries are 7.5 (UK), but the lastest wo (grey and sand) are an 8… Works for me...
