@riffblaster:
those look awesome. anybody ever seen a classic round toe resoled with a lug?
Thankyou sir. Very pleased with the overall look of them. Wasnt sure what to expect! Threw some red laces on them and they look perfect now imo.
Plus they are so much more comfortable! May buy a new pair and get him to do it again.

Quite like the collab pair but holding out for a brown waxed pair as I like how it 'breaks through' blacked wax.
I had a pair of IR 8111s for a while and sold them as I had bought too large a pair.
I now have a pair of the 8105 Oxford Mocs (roughout oxford = yum) and these 2974s:
Which are an unusual leather I can't seem to recall, and as discontinued boots there's little info on em. They have a faint nap to them but they're for all intents a smooth leather.. described on Rakuten as 'black nubuck' but that doesn't quite cut it.. Really strange, but I got 'em for a steal! Still to work out exactly how to care for them.

8111's new vs ~1.5 years. 2 saddlesoap washes and Obenaufs applications.

Mike Evo Mike!
Snagged these Blacksmith's at my local RW shop. Needed a sleek black boot and was happy when I put these on.
Red Wing Blacksmith
Black Spitfire Leather
(Feels like some sort of heavily waxed or "singed" rough out material)

very NICE!

Folderol stuff … RW's (like other brands) are 'Work Boots' and no exhibits for a showcase
A brush and an old rag is enough
Amen!

Figured I would post up some porn for you guys and gals. I have been rocking these pretty hard the last year. I have only used Bick 4 sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly….just whenever I had time and I thought they were a little dry. I do plan on cleaning them with Bick 1...but oh well...ha.

got my self some 8111's some months ago but just can't make them work… tried to break them in and walked 1,5 days in them. since then, my heel hurts unnormal and i cant walk in them for more than 5 minutes. tried several times to pause a few days or a week before the next wear without luck. my left foot won't accept them. it's not a tiny uncomfortable pain it feels like a fractional heel on one point.
i have a pair of cheap ass dickies moctoes in which have no problems to walk in the whole day. really comfy.so i think i have to part with the 8111's
