New. From RW outlet. Discontinued and last pr just happened to be my size.
Absolute steal!
-
Had my head in the sand for the release of the Beckman 9060 flat box but think I’m going to be adding a pair to the collection, they look amazing.
-
^^any tips/tricks to breaking these in?
-
Some breakin process. Damn thes have been a booger! 2 conditioning treatments on the front upper.
-
Few months wear of these flat toe beckman's, now it's cooled down in NY I can wear them again without suffering.
-
What are the middle pair @Stepecken ? I love the colour.

I have a pair of 877s that i haven't cared for at all yet because i love the color and do not want to darken them too much. I really need to get them waterproofed though… any help would be very welcomed
I was thinking of applying sno seal but I'm fairly sure that will totally darken them a few shades. I own red wing boot oil, mink oil, leather cream and the leather protector spray not sure what one would be best to keep em dry during the canadian winter here -
I’ve applied the neutral cream to other RW without color change. Admittedly those were darker hues to begin with.
-
I don't think the boot cream will keep snow and water out. I have been wrong before though.
-
I use Obenaufs and that has served me well.

I had an old pair of Iron Rangers that I had worn a lot years ago but hadn’t been wearing much lately because of the lack of traction with the nitrile cork soles. I decided to have the boots resoled with some Vibram 100 honey soles and they just came back to me today. it’s safe to say they’ll be getting more wear now.
-
Those things are bullet proof now. I did the same thing with one of my pair (except I went with the black) and wore them for 4 years while working on the railroad walking on that abrasive ballast rock all day. They could easily go another 4 years…

I honestly thought that I wouldn’t buy a pair of Redwings again after getting to know some other brands. But then summer was coming and I came across those 8106’s… I was defenseless right there at the spot and my gosh are they a nice pair of shoes, the double stitching at the sole, the colour white, brown, black and nickel omg how nice...(imo that is of course)

They’re fairly ubiquitous, but I’m a big fan of Red Wings. I used to work a fairly low pay job in London, and i’d always see guys wearing moc toes. I thought they were the coolest and really wanted a pair. I worked at Great Ormond Hospital, and while walking on a lunch break I spotted some moc toes in the window of The Content Store on Lambs Conduit Street. My heart sank when I saw the price tag. No way could I justify £250 on a pair of boots!
On my last day in the job my generous colleagues had a collection for me. There was almost £200, I couldn’t believe it. On my lunch break I rushed down to the content store. When I told them it was my last day working at the hospital, the sales guy said I could have 15% off tag. I couldn’t believe it, I needed to put only £20 of my own money to own the boots I’d coveted for the last 3 years! (Funny story, listening to the IH podcast, I believe that the generous sales assistant was in fact IH’s very own @Jack Thanks buddy!)Anyways, they’re common place now, and I know they play second fiddle to other boot makers like White’s and Wesco, but I still really love Red Wing moc toes. I just got a pair of 8863s in the Slate Roughout and I think they’re lovely.
-
Great story @jerkules!
I prefer Wesco for a round toe these days but until Wesco finally develop a moc toe boot, my trusty Red Wings are always on hand.
For this years resole I requested the addition of a 5mm leather mid sole to get closer to the Wesco soles - also gives my old bones a bit more cushion!
