Shoes that look better with age...

[beatle]

Yeah - nice purchase..but pleeeeeeeeeeassssse resize...

[ang_kangkong]

Those are nice, ed. You use a proxy for those?

[Bill2]

Bill, while both of those are too small for me, I have a question about the Semi-Dress: Is the upper calf? How much is the extra cost for the triple sole? Also, do you know the extra cost with a different leather, specifically Buffalo? If these questions are better suited for a call to White's itself, I will, but I would appreciate if you could answer what you know.

Flex:

The standard leather on the Semi Dress are a dry tanned cow hide. Whites does offer a french calf option, that is thinner and shinier, more of a dress option.

Extra cost for the triple sole through us is $36. I've priced the pair listed here are our standard rate as a little bonus

^^Congrats on your pick up edmond

You like the crepe sole more than the usual lug sole? I love that leather, since it turns reddish when scuffed. wish I had gotten them in brown instead of black when I had the chance.

hi bobo! they only have these with the waffle's and i already have the lug soles on my moc toe 1910's.. so opted for these and man these are so comfy...thanks! shouls i oil these? or no?

[fatass]

Decided to get the Alden AF43's instead finally. I really liked the AF60's that have been posted, but wanted something different. I noticed there aren't a lot of people who have them, so here are mine.

IH 634s

Just wondered since you where looking for 2901/02 before, which is that upper with a lug vibram as you probably know. I rather like it more with crepe sole though, love those boots you picked up. I usually give my new boots a rub in with neutral colored shoe cream, but you dont need to do that either if they dont feel dry. RW leathers is often pretty well oiled.

[edmond]

thanks bobo yeah theyre pretty well oiled i even have to rub off some excess oil on those..

i got a crepe sole cause ive already got myself a pair of lw loggers with vibrams so there

next would be a pair of trickers or aldens..

[fre-co]

The AF43 are simply beautiful. I think I prefer the plain toe rather than the cap or wingtip. They are on the truebalance last right?

[edmond]

i owuld love to see detailed shots of those 1909's !!

[fre-co]

Very nice. I particularly like the look of the 1909. Not sure if I have seen those before, is it very similar to the 1911? The 8131 and 2268 are also very nice looking. What are the ages of your collection?

Talking of redwings, I have a noob question:

It is ok to wax polish the oiled 875 oro-iginal leather isn't it? Mine are looking very rough and I wanted to neaten them up a bit.

[superBobo]

^^cool collection, some unexpected choices like 9027 and 9124. How do you like the 9124s?

[edmond]

i tihink use the red wing mink oil,,, it think you can do that to give them a bit of a luster,,

[superBobo]

Fresco

its ok, and what I have done. "my " cobbler gave that advice aswell, to get them more easily maintained than the sticky oiltanned leather. I use normal shoe cream on mine now.

[edmond]

whats your normal shoes cream bobo?

[superBobo]

KIWI neutral self shine cream. I like it because it doenst change the color of the leather, and still shows wear, but still makes it more water resistant and nourished. I got some brown Kiwi cream aswell, but hardly ever use it.

[edmond]

are these the ones in the bronze/black can?

Yes the 1909 are very similar, it is a choclate brown, there is less red tone in them.

I got these in 2005, the anniversary year.

The 8131 are about 5 years old

and the 2268 3 years, I do not use them very often, I had them air sprayed with one big red wing on each side, will show pics later

I use red wing leather conditioner with all my red wings, that is similar to wax, some shine on used Re Wings can't do any harm! I like it that way.

There you go edmond

Hi Bobo

The 9124 have a boat shoe sole and are also hand made in the US, very comfortable, I wore them lots this summer

[edmond]

wow those are nice shouldve gotten those rather than my 1911's.. those are nices have a more vintage look to them..
