Those are beautiful! Well done.

These RW Gentlemen Travelers have been my daily work boot/shoe for a few years. Love them. They have broken in nicely and are very comfortable.

For some nice hand made work boots, I also like the my Mattimore Harness boots, but I don't wear them for work.

I will get the Red Wing 9016 Work boots as a birthday present end of the month. My first high quality shoes.

I am a cheapskate and rarley spend more than 100 € on one pair.:eusa_doh:

Is there a history or a timeline for the different red wing models? I know the timeline on their page but the different models are not really mentioned.

shoes arrived and they are rather tight. but not on the toes but in the middle (under the stitching) will they get any wider and more confortable when they break in? please answer so I can decide to send em back or give it a try.[huh]

thx,

Florian

I had same problem , got a boot stretcher and sorted the problem. A good shoe shop should be able to perform this service too.
Iron Ranger model does fit differently, if you can exchange may be worth a look at these .

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Ok thank you. I was not sure because they fit good at the toes and it would be stupid to go one size up. I tried iron rangers once (a bit mor confy) but the others were on sale ...

I was surprised to find these Wolverine 1000 Mile "Bradford" shoes at DSW yesterday for $199 (the are normally $325). I think I need these.

flat top: Thanks for the tip. What area are you in? I'm going to search my local DSW for them now...

 

[flat-top]

I'm in New York. I see that they are not online, so if your local store doesn't have them maybe they could call around to other stores and have them shipped.
I got them yesterday and I love them. The quality is amazing.

 

[bl@ster]

Just called the three DSW stores in the Seattle area and none of them have the Bradford's. Damn

 

[flat-top]

I stopped in to DSW yesterday and the Wolverines were completely gone! I seriously doubt that at that price point they would sell out. Maybe they got transferred to a busier location, or even possibly returned to the vendor? I'm glad I got a pair before they disappeared!

 

[sartana]

I will have to look for those at my local DSW. I was thinking about getting the boot version myself....

DSW has two more Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot styles. Not the coolest ones, but both under $150.

I discovered these JD Fisk boots today. They look cool in person.

Just picked up a copy of the new Fall '11 Wolverine Rockford cap-toe boot. I'd ordered them a couple months ago and due to a production delay On The Fly gave me 40% off. That's some quality customer service, will order from again.

Here are some photos I just snapped:

Picked these up today, and for next to nothing. They are dead ringers for the RRL Bowery Boot for 1/10th of the price!

 

[bl@ster]

Do the JD Fisk boots run TTS or large?

Do the JD Fisk boots run TTS or large?

Definitely large. I'm usually a 12, but an 11 1/2 fits perfectly.

Affordable work boots from ASOS- H By Hudson – Fleming
I don't own them and can't tell about the quality though.
