Shoes that look better with age...

[baldy]

im almost positive you'll be fine with a uk 10 us 11 just like u said. i sized down half a size on 2 pairs and they fit well. i went true to nike size on one and its just a little bit more roomy, which isn't a bad thing at all actually

[mpcec]

Anyone able to ID these boots for me? The picture is from Lightning Magazine vol.62 (The Denim Book) and is on page 46.

First shot shows the boots best, second shot sort of shoes the profile caption for Tetsuro Hori, not sure if it shows up well enough to read it but if you have the denim book lying around (as im sure many of you do) I would appreciate you taking a closer look.

[edmond]

vintage dont know what they are

[joelz]

^ look like redwings to me

another question:

can anyone recommend a place/good price for re-heeling (and possibly new soles) a pair of indy's? A place nearish my work said they could do heels and either vibrams/cat's paws for $50 for the pair, or just $20 for the heel - that seem good

[mpcec]

Ed just to clarify does it say somewhere on the page that they're vintage or that's just your guess?

hello everyone, I think its not the best place to post my question but I couldn't find any Red Wing official thread so forgive me, im unsure about sizing on Red Wing Chukkas, this specific model: http://www.cultizm.com/product_info.php?info=p367_RED-WING-BOOTS---3140-CLASSIC-WORK-CHUKKA---Oro-iginal.html

I wear uk 10.5 (us 11.5) in nikes and vans, it seems that everyone is telling to size down (full size/half) with red wings, should I be okay with uk 10 us 11 size in this model, anyone have experience with this boot? Thanks in advance...!

cheers

I wear a 10 in Vans and Clarks,on my first pair of RW's i sized down 1,which worked fine unless you weare them for a couple of hours,then they start to become a little tight.my next RWpair were sized down a half size which is perfect now for me.

I concur on the 1/2 size down. I bought a pair of the GT's in size 12 and they were huge...sized down 1/2 on my Iron Rangers and they fit perfect.

[edmond]

im not sure but im sure theyre vintage these sales people from warehouse stores either wear vintage or warehouse only afaik,

they dont have a moc toe on their lineup. so i assume these are vintage

[mpcec]

Agh too bad for me, appreciate the info though ed.

[Mike147]

Some flicks of my Whites... They need some serious breaking in!

How did you manage to size up your Whites with Orthotics? That's my real issue - never know how a shoe is going to fit before you throw a big slug orthotic in... Did Whites work with you on sizing?

I just scored a pair of RW 8" - 877 for $(AUD)160 and just one week old. Size down 1, I'm normally size 11US.

[rockon99]

im kinda new to this boot stuff..

but i'm looking for something other than vans and oxfords for this winter. what would be a decent boot for me to buy that sits around $200 or so. i was thinkin something like doc martins combat/work-esque look, but, not doc martins lol thanks..

[beatle]

Classic

Red Wing Iron Ranger

or round toe

or you invest some serious $$

[salaami]

Don't worry from everything I've ever seen of redwing shoe stores is that they don't carry any of the good models.

And for some real sick mocs

Deciding whether to pick these up. I mean I can afford them but I don't think I can justify them. LOL.

I have these very boots - went true to size and they were perfect. However, I do have other RWs and they are half a size down so I would probably go with what other people are saying and size down by half

[baldy]

damnn those moc's look pretty, but for that price i'd rather just get a pair of white's... even though they're not moc's but u know what i mean

[rockon99]

you guys dig these? or should i sell them while they're young. i dont really know if i like them. bought them a few years ago and they've just been sitting around.

thanks for the ideas on boots as well

[LandoCal126]

I gotta say I am NOT a fan.

[vamks]

Don't really dig them to be honest w/ you, feels very "cheap italian guy" to me, saw them everywhere when I was in Italy, but if that's your thing then I guess go for it.

[almostnice]

i agree,you see this kind of shoe here in germany everywhere,worn by all types who wants to look "stylish" but havent got a clue what it means.favourite combo is with Truereligion jeans and an EdHardy shirt.sell them.

Lace-to-toe bounty hunters?

[jackandcoke]

anyone know of a place i can get these redwings for the lowest price?

[edmond]

nope theyre just smoke jumpers lace to toe

[rockon99]

alright - thanks for the input. yeah, i bought them on sale, they looked neat online, but got them and was like, ummm.... oh. and havent really worn them ever. so i figured i'd give it a try for a week or so and see if they grew on me. nothin. haha def sellin them. i might as well get boots anyways, i got some decent black oxfords on the way.

[redX]

does anyone know of a store in the Ruhrpott area that stocks Red Wings? i need a pair of winter boots and would like to get a firsthand impression of them.

I've seen some beautiful boots from Yuketen in a local shop today.

Lineman-style construction, Vibram crepe sole, beautiful 2tone leather.

Very xpensive. I can't seem to find anything on the web. Anyone knows where I can find more models from Yuketen besides those stocked by Oi-polloi?

I have a pair of ranger mocs from them that are pretty good, but most of their shoes are overpriced for what they are. Don't fall for the hype.

I also don't like their combination of a white vibram sole meant for work boots placed on shoes meant for the great outdoors. The vibram stalker sole would have been a much better and more appropriate choice.
