I have two pairs of Gordon Rush boots. They're pretty amazing, I love them. I've had the whiskey pair since about February, and the fades/patina that's developed is pretty awesome. It would be more pronounced but I'm obsessive about polishing them and keeping them in good shape. The brown ones I've had since May and they've developed lighter brown fading in the creases, which I've tried to bring out by using a lighter polish. It's still developing but the boots still look awesome in the meantime.

Did you get those resoled? I thought they only came with crepe soles...

Either way, they look great!

[GregoryH]

uh:

...nope, checked into it a few pages back, I remembered cotton duck posted these scans

[daveo]

Ahh, I don't think you can get anything other than the crepe ones in the US.

Hi, I'm new to boots and I know this sizing problem has been discussed so many times, but i just want to make sure.

I want to get redwing GTs 9011, but in cultizm there are no US 10, only US9.5 and 10.5

I have 1907 I 9.5 and they snug, so what size for GTs would u guys recommend?

9.5 or 10 depends on how snug your 1907's are...

to me, the GT's run about half a size bigger then the crepe soled models, I wear a 10.5 in GT's and 11 in 2904's.

GT's are quite narrow tho, specially in the middle part of the foot, to me atleast

Must say those adidas turned out quite interesting...

You're right, they are the 2992 model

I did not resoled them, the boots originally came without the crepe sole

as GregoryH already mentioned

[gonegonegone]

got my red wings today (8112), i'm very happy with the purchase.

[jlam01342]

does anybody know the model of these shoes or, more importantly, how they fit? the size is 7.5, but i wear 8.5 in most nikes (except dunks which i'm an 8) so i don't know if these will be too small.

Another thrift store purchase, bought these last year and have been wearing them exclusively for some construction/renovation type jobs that I have been helping my girl's dad with. Now that they are beat up a bit, they've been cleaned a tad and I plan on wearing them daily as my winter beaters.

Not sure of the make, only a hand written number on the inside, built-rite soles etc. They were near mint when I bought them

edit: jealous of the money spent on boots in here, every pair I have are either thrifted or hand-me-downs haha, poverty status.

Ah well, keeps it interesting I suppose.

[riff]

Really nice Alden collection!

Gregory - those look like boots I rocked all through high school - memories! Mine were made by a company called "Gorilla"... Haven't seen many around the last few years. Good find!

[pomata]

I'm jealous of your fucking thrift store purchases

these look very good as well Greg. fit pics soon!

[GregoryH]

here you go, paired up with my APC's which were also worn for the same jobs, so they share a common bond haha
