@riffblaster:

Just got a pair of icecutters through a trade.  Thumbs waaaaay up.  Super comfortable, wool lined,  waterproof, and come with a removable insole.  The price point is high for these so I can't say if I think they're worth the money yet,  I need to abuse them for a bit.

I like the look of these boots!

My red wing iron rangers. Still going hard after two years regular use. Seen many a drunken jaunt including a recent trip to Camden that saw them get repeatedly covered in rum and Jaegermeister!!!!!!

Question for owners of several pairs of redwing.. I'm looking at buying some moc toe boots online, do they run the same sizing as iron rangers. I'm a 43D in the iron rangers and they are perfect fit, and these are down a size as generally recommended. So would I be the same in a pair of 875's?

[rocket]

I do have / had them all in a US 8 and they fit all the same, imo

[Peterpiper]

Thanks Rocket, that's what I was hoping for.. Cheers.

Over at my friends house today and had to take a couple pics of his red wings bought in 1996, eighteen years ago. These are crazy worn. Resoled three times.

Just picked up these Red Wing style# 8199. Haven't seen much mention of them, so I thought I'd snap a few pics. The leather, which RW calls "Hawthorne Driftwood" is pretty interesting. It's the most "raw" looking leather I've seen from them and this is the only boot I've seen use it. It comes lighter out of the box – these pics are after a coating of Obenauf's LP and I added some new waxed cotton laces. They should develop a nice patina. Here are pics:

Nice boots madmonday and bl@ster! I think Red Wing offers  great value for money in terms of quality.
