Saw these Red Wings on eBay and thought they looked great. Anyone know what color they might have been originally? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know how the Bilbo sole holds up, as compared to the Vibram Christy? How about comfort?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to dye grey suede a dark brown? Thanks in advance.

IE:

For sale is a gently worn pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots in Brown. I've worn them roughly five times since I acquired them. They are wonderfully crafted boots and super comfy from the start - just didn't fit my style. I'm selling these for $250 shipped CONUS. Paypal only. PM if interested and thanks for looking. More pictures available upon request.

Shameless plug. Selling my Dark Stantons 32x32 for $130. Worn less than five times.

I got a size 9 coming in the mail.

Do you think they run true to size or typical converse sizing?

Normally an 8.5 in chuck taylors

I have a pair of the lowtop straight shooters and I went with my Jack Purcell size, so .5 larger than my all star size. Hope that helps.

Yes, "wedge sole" is a larger term usually, which just indicates that the sole is one solid piece that is thicker at the heel than the toe. Meaning: there is no separate "heel" but the heel is still taller.

However this also means that you could conceivably have a plantation crepe wedge sole... but I've never seen one.

Wallabees?

suits you well,nevertheless!

Nice pun, bro.

Just arrived, but they'll no doubt look better with age. Alden Aviator from Orvis...

These are the best I've seen in awhile.

^ If anyone is interested in a lightly used pair of Red Wings in US 9.

What's the proper/best way to clean the crepe soles on Red Wings? I want to get them back to their off white/tan color. Thanks.

Revamping these could be a cool project to take for pretty cheap.

Can anyone tell me or show me how the Red Wings Oro Russet Portage leather wears over time? I'm looking to get a new pair of Red Wing boots and beat the shite out of them, but I'm not sure which color wears the best over time. Thanks.

No maker's stamps/tags on this pair, but they certainly resemble the classic Red Wing 1905 work boots. Circa late 1950s - 60s vintage, and made from top grain oiled leather, with a crepe sole. Triple-needle stitching throughout and genuine GoodYear Welt construction. Actual outsole measures right around 11 3/4" and the widest forefoot is 4 1/4". Overall height is 6 1/2".

Looking for $40 shipped CONUS.

PM me if interested.

Relist - Cheaper price.

I just won these boots via ebay and I have a question. These are Goodyear welted, would I be able to take them to a cobbler that is a certified Vibram repairman and have the Vibram crepe soles that are on Red Wings put on? How does that work? Does the cobbler have a catalog to pick through or can I just tell him the model number of the sole (does anyone know this?)? Thanks in advance.

If anyone wants these, I'll end the ebay auction early and subtract $10 bucks for shipping. $110 shipped.

EDIT - Now on ebay
