⎡ Red Wing 875 : 1 Year in the making ⎦
While the harsh salted snow doesn’t allow us Canadians to wear coke whites all year round, my 875′s aren’t affected by the same predicament. Like a pair of 24 oz. Sammies, the built-to-last RW875′s only get better with time and distress. I’ve posted a few of my beat up footwear, but these 1 year old workboots take the cake. Feel free to send me photos of YOUR beat up beauties, and i’ll try to round em all up in a future post!

Hey man. Love how the RW’s look.

@Ryan, wow they are beautiful, I love the looping laces. Ill put them part of the rest of the collected photos if you allow it!

@Eric : haha yeah, they’re pretty bad at first, I put nike zoom insoles in mine and only wore them with thick socks for a whole 2 months lol
fit pic? from anytime u wore them. and what kind of protectant have you been using? thx
@Attila : Here is a fit pic from a little while back: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/VincentTsang/IMG_1651.jpg . I haven’t put any protectant on them.
For sure, use them anywhere…
What are you shooting, your photos are rad!
@Ryan : I shoot RAW with an XTI and my studio shots are with a 20D + studio strobe
damn dude, stuff looks good for an xti, I’ve got a 40D but need a lighting setup, you should link me your gear in an email… trying to compare a few peoples setups…!
I got my pair of 875s on NYE. I can’t wait till mine turn out something like that. Good stuff man.
Awesome stuff. Did/do you maintain these thinks with mink oil or any general leather protector? Just got myself a pair and deciding whether to treat or let nature take its course with em. Cheers
