@Axel:

And you wear them, too?

But only rarely!

recently bought the amber colored Harvester boots; they need some serious wear to soften them; my ankles are seriously hurting when I wear them; hope this will go away with time

Fold the gusset length wise (creating a narrow gusset with three layers, folding in the tag basically)…takes away the pressure from your ankles and prevents initial heel slippage.

Thanks Seul!

I've recently went a little overboard with some Red Wings. I picked up the 4439 for work, the 4575, and the 8890.

Just started breaking in my new 8180s. Love the olive color.

Yeah, that olive is nice.

This was probably the most wild thrift store find ever! These had never even been laced up:

The only google search that has yielded information on these has been "Red Wing 915 (# stamped on the tongue)". Looks kinda like the Iron Rangers but with higher rise. Additionally has a steel toe. Very Stiff.

Halfway through my second winter with them I have to give my Ice Cutters a glowing thumbs up review. This winter has been insanely harsh and I've been up on my roof almost every day for the past two weeks shoveling, breaking ice dams, and fixing leaks. I just finished clearing about 20" of snow and these boots kept my feet warm and dry. The sole is grippy and great on ice on the pitch of the roof. It's a softer rubber. I think TC4 is the name. I've been choosing these over my actual snow boots. Anyways, moreso than any pair of redwing boots I've owned these are hands down the best and most useful and comfortable pair I've had. Fully recommended.

Just bought a pair of Red Wing "Blacksmith" boots. Basically revived round toe 6 inch models with the Iron Ranger soles and Beckman style leather uppers. No double toe cap. I got them in "Bourbon Yuma." Now to break them in!

I am considering maybe doing the half lug when my 8111s need a resole in years to come. Dunno though…I am really loving the stock sole, even though they suck in snow.

Here some evo pics, only had since Beginning of December. Been wearing them hard. Oil nicely when first gotten with some Obenaufs oil.

Love the details in the leather we can get…blows my Dr. Martens out of the water

I have the gray pair and not as much wear as your pair . Although yours look great , a wee dab of oil will help .

A bit of Obenauf's LP the other day didn't hurt…
