Shoes that look better with age...

So I heard back from RDT, you can purchase directly from them. However with EMS still not shipping the the US they're shipping via Yamato Transport.
Sounds like they hand over to UPS for international delivery and the price is the same as EMS. I'll likely place the order for these this week.

sorry @MJF9 I work construction so my boots take a beating. They’re being neglected again. Haha 

This is is all manner of wrong mate

I've just spent ages wiping my screen to no avail... and now I see you're using work boots for actual work

Sold a few things and made enough scratch for the black horsehide Coupens, placed the order today.
Photos and thoughts to come once they arrive!

^Nice!

And it looks like I got the only size 12 that they made (at least for the time being), so it was meant to be.

Yes sir. I emailed them and they said they'll ship via Yamato Post to the US (should handover to UPS I think).
PayPal checkout was easy but in Japanese, so just used a translation app.

Excellent!

I love my RDTs, but I have to admit some disappointment in how the stitching on the vamps began to come loose pretty quickly.  They have held together, and I don't wear them all that often, but still an unexpected breakdown.

[Broark]

@tod that's disappointing, I'd be interested to see some photos.

Another week of beatings. They got in a fight with rebar this week as well.

One size too big for me or you’d have my money

[MJF9]

Nice boots (too big for me alas)... also liking the wall and table... I do like a bit of red brick and weathered wood

Are the Clinch boots Clinch size 12 or 11.5? If they're Clinch 11.5 I'll take those.

[smoothsailor]

I forgot the clinch sizing, but I wear us 11 

i,m talking with someone already who wants the trio.

thanks for your interest

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the only ones I'm interested in are built on the Odeon last, and I'm not sure what the differences are...

Did a little research and it seems to be their standard last. Experience wise, if you're a brannock us 8, go for a us 7,5 in heschung, translated to a uk 6,5 i think.

not surprised! it is a power trio, with a lot of wear, but lots still to put in...

more pix for posterity before they go?

the leather on the attractions looks incredible, and i would be a sucker for those latigo clinch...

[dudewuttheheck]

No worries, @smoothsailor I understand you want to move all three. GLWS!

The red thread represents my attempt to do some DIY reinforcement, which I failed at..

[Duke Mantee]

Send those pics to RDT - that’s really poor

Wow. Given the price and RDT's reputation, that is shocking.

Don’t get as much of a look in as they should, they get a lot of comp from the classic coloured Red Wings.
