Re: Red Wing Boots
Pity rubber chunky soles have to be so ugly.
lf you really insist on shoos with an ugly rubber grip, why not get R.M.Williams. They have a good boot with a rubber grip over the leather sole.

Georgia Boot. Try Gemplers online.

Re: Red Wing Boots
I still haven't bought those Redwings I keep looking at...
I rather like the ugly aesthetic as they look like nothing else over here. Yet I look but don't buy.
I should drink more before shopping I think.

Re: Red Wing Boots
I have the Red Wings with the white sole; don't find them that ugly at all. Don't wear them that often but they became very comfortable once broken in.

Re: Red Wing Boots
The Red Wings second from the top with the crepe sole look like a variant of the classic Irish Setter. I had a pair of Irish Setters from the time I was 15 into my 30s. A second pair that I got was destroyed by a Japanese Fighting Dog (puppy mischief!) about 11 years ago. Good boots--if they're made to the old standards. I always assume the crepe soles were for bird hunting in plowed fields. I did find them too good for negotiating our Western terrain, where lugs are better.

Re: Red Wing Boots
I have had my eye on these for a while as they might be practical during the monsoon season here:

Any experience?

Re: Red Wing Boots
I thought that if a shoe has a goodyear welt, it can be resoled. Do I need to be disabused of this idea?
