The unboxing…

And some close ups…

Q-han…those are sick...except for the soles...

Cool boots, and I'm not really into lace to toe in general.  The perfect stitching on those makes even my Vibergs look sloppy by comparison.

Not usually into donkey boots or whatever these are called, but these are changing my mind.. What superb craftsmanship and style..!

Congrats on yet another stellar item Quinhan & thanks for the great pics (unboxing GIF is particularly inspired [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4])

Super cool boots! Similar to the Thorogood Roofer in style, but I would imagine these are much better quality

@Qinhan  you are one of my forum heroes, always great grabs

^Truly amazing boots, superb attention to detail. For me I'd go for a non crepe sole^

They're looking badass overall!

Thanks @madmonday  Always nice to be appreciated.

Thanks for the positive comments guys, and glad you like them.  As to the crepe soles, I realise that they're not everyone's favourite but I personally don't mind them.  To me, they give the boots more of a casual look.  As others have noted, the construction on these RMC boots is amazing.  What the pictures don't show is how comfortable the boots are as well.  Out of the box, these are some of the most comfortable boots I've ever tried.

That isn't a crepe sole. Looks like a 'Christy' from Vibram. Very comfortable!

I'm surprised as this type of sole is surely a modern invention as opposed to the RMC style of reproduction.

It seems that "wedge sole" is a common term to describe this type of sole.  I'm certainly no expert, but Red Wing have apparently been using this type of sole since at least the 1950's.  See:

The soles on these boots are not made by Vibram but by the RMC themselves.

I had no idea the crepe wedge sole was that old.  Learn something new every day…

[Qinhan]

Vest and boots are RMC…

^Stellar out(fit)

[Crackajack]

I stand corrected.

I always think of a 'crepe sole' as being the layered translucent rubber types popularised by Clarks.

such a simple but solid look @Qinhan! I really dig the two tone of boots and the jeans are spot on!
However, that vest!!! I don't think you could get a better fit if they made it specifically for you!! it's a killer, well done sir
