@Beatle:

Red Wings are really tough - no probs with salt and snow and muddy trails

i have a pair of these and as far as traction goes they are excellent for snow.the only problem i`ve had with them were gross salt stains due to walking in snow all the time.

Are those same as Mr G had coming? Look very similar.

I notice that upper buckle arrangement is made like in old german military boots. I like that.
how much are those? Web-link?

Nice boots indeed.

[injunjack]

those stains go away with grease or wax treatment….

Yep, I guess Giles ordered the exact pair - this guy has taste
Just had a quick glance at the shop page and that pair isn´t listed any longer though I think it still can be ordered.  The price was somehow lower than 400€ I think, maybe 380€ with shipping or something.

@injunjack: tried that but it didn`t really work.after two days i got salt stains again.the best way to remove salt stains was cleaning them with milk.i ended up impregnating them with a spray and that did the trick… ::)

clean your leather with saddle soap then use some Obenauf’s preservative or similar - just be careful, saddle soap can rot stitching

these are not too dissimilar - simpler details, but lambskin lined

thanks geo,i will give it a try

[Geo]

no worries - just take it easy tho'

better to do things little by little when you apply preservatives, let it soak in

you can get good products from equestrian supply websites - it's one area where people still take real good care of leather and equipment

[SepticSef]

you just made a german look up the word "equestrian" 
excellent tip,thanks alot!

[Geo]

I had to look up the word too! 

does it translate as Reitsport?
