Can anyone tell me how the white crepe wedge soles are for traction on ice and snow? I have the vibram lug sole which is not too bad. This may already be in the thread but i didn't feel like going thru 112 pages.

Mostly very bad. The Vibram #100 is far superior and even the #430 mini lug works better. For reference, I live in Northern Norway.

Damn, they got a lot darker.

[mikebarhoot]

Obenauffs. And indigo hue from brushing them after every wear before boxing them.

[Chris]

Yep, that'd do it.

New. From RW outlet. Discontinued and last pr just happened to be my size.

Absolute steal!

Had my head in the sand for the release of the Beckman 9060 flat box but think I’m going to be adding a pair to the collection, they look amazing.

[mikebarhoot]

^^any tips/tricks to breaking these in?

[mikebarhoot]

Some breakin process. Damn thes have been a booger!  2 conditioning treatments on the front upper.

Few months wear of these flat toe beckman's, now it's cooled down in NY I can wear them again without suffering.

Nice. They look great. How is the fit. I really do like the roomy toebox of my gts.

I have a pair of 877s that i haven't cared for at all yet because i love the color and do not want to darken them too much. I really need to get them waterproofed though… any help would be very welcomed I was thinking of applying sno seal but I'm fairly sure that will totally darken them a few shades. I own red wing boot oil, mink oil, leather cream and the leather protector spray not sure what one would be best to keep em dry during the canadian winter here

I’ve applied the neutral cream to other RW without color change. Admittedly those were darker hues to begin with.
