S after trying some knockoff boots from academy I went for the real deal. I will say the Brazos boots at academy were just fine. Zero issues. I just really wanted these.
Just got them today.i will say they are the type that needs to be broken in.
No boot oil is like going without aftershave balm/lotion!
Probably not gonna make any friends with this but here's my newest and oldest Red Wings View attachment 914783View attachment 914784
Hey Dick,
The "white bottoms" are classic but so forgiving for standing all day. And quiet, no clomping around like other work boots. The moc-toes, that color, have to be the quintessential Red Wing model! I can understand why you'd want "those"
Here's my new work boots that I'm wearing in the house to speed up the break-in time. Not Red Wings, but still Union Made!View attachment 914551
Only workboots I buy. Union made Redwings are awesome!! Just bought a pair of 2212’s. My old Redwing boots were resoled 2 times and probably could have been again.
Such are the times that there are no longer any local shops that repair shoes. I used to resole my shoes, but now there's no place to get that done.
