Red Wing 1907 boots

Yes they are the best boots I've ever owned. They are building a nice patina

I remember when shite like that used to be sold at Sears and Kmart.

275 bucks...

I don't have those but I've tried a few other brands and I'm sold on Red Wing.

They are worth the money. Most stores will oil and change the laces free of charge after a year or so. I have the 2406.

Anyone own a pair of these 1907s

No but I plan on owning a pair of these very soon. Anything made by Red Wing is very high quality.

I prefer the Red Wing Iron Rangers to those moc toe's, but still like the moc toe's alot.

Ryan Gosling and David Beckham think you should get them

I wouldnt wear anything because a celebrity wears them. If anything, that would make me hesitant to wear something. I would wear them because I like them.

Do you have a Red Wing store by you? I take mine in to get cleaned/waterpoofed once a month at the store by me.

They will clean them, oil them, waterproof them, replace the laces and/or replace the eyelets for the life of the boot. Also you can pay to get them re-soled because the upper part of the boot will likely outlive the sole.

They look better after a coat of mink oil (darkened the leather) and then as the soles get dirty and become a more cream rather than white.

Also, if you don't wear they with skinny/rolled jeans they don't look as clunky and hipstery

If you want actual high quality boots (sans white sole) that look like that, try White's then Nick's

I think union boot store has a deal where you order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit on Thorogoods

still got my redwings, still holding up well...bought in 96 for 150.00 or so

That's about when I bought mine. Still holding up well, had them resoled through red wing once. I don't work construction and haven't worked a blue collar job in quite a while. My two pairs should last me the rest of my life.
