Cool, cool. Thanks fellas.

just going to ask here
my 1907 redwing soles have begun to wear down with the heels having lost about a centimeter (with it being maybe 3 centimeter's at start). It's only been a year. Is this something I need to start trying to prevent from worsening? Currently it's not really a problem other than it looking odd when I stare at my shoes directly

>>6550404
this. except i use a little bit of vinegar instead of soap (be sure to wipe it ALL THE FUCK OFF with a damp cloth immediately afterwards) as i find it cuts the grime better. here are my rangers.

HOLY SHIT

those are beautiful

>>6550369
red wing general? cool

the first thing on my wardrobe shopping list are a pair of iron rangers just like the ones in OPs pic. they will be primarily used during the colder weathers, so im going to be wearing them with thick socks all the time..

how do i go about the sizing? im normally a size 7.5US on my chucks (yes manlet reporting)

>>6550475
oh yeah i forgot to mention, i polish mine.

>>6550483
do they make them that small? sizes run slightly large, but less than half size. i thinks its just to accomodate wool socks. order your size.
just warning, they make look rather clowny on a manlet. mine are 12.

>>6550485

Polish with what exactly?

>>6550488
>sizes run slightly large, but less than half size
alright cool. yeah they actually do stock smaller sizes at nordstrom which is a huge relief

huh, i only heard theyd look clownish if you wear them with skinny trousers/jeans which i am not intending to do.. gonna be wearing them with 511ish fitting PS mostly..

>>6550498
i used kiwi shoe polish, just some brown shade i had.
>>6550508
depends, but yeah you might even want to get a pair or two of 527s

>>6550516
>kiwi shoe polish
yo dont use kiwi it has silicon

>>6550557
too late nigger. whats bad about silicon/what can i do to fix it?

>>6550573
prevents the leather from breathing. will eventually lead to cracking

you dont need to shine them wth theyre workboots theyre not meant to be pretty

>>6550593
i have a pair of workboots, these are just for me to feel cowboycore. and bitches love em cus 98% of the dudes around me wear tims.

will find siliconless polish tho, thanks for the tip.

>>6550593


Well I went to the red wing store and the guy said iron rangers werent work boots but he described them as 'going out to the bar' boots

>>6550942
theyre aesthetic is based on work boots used some years ago. definitely not work boots but theyre meant to be treated like one (ex. beating them to shit, wearing them with jeans etc etc)

>>6550942
pretty much. they're work boots, and you're not a iron miner. and since they're not dress boots they're considered 'jean boots'

>>6550404
Can I do the same with my damir doma finato boots or is there anything else to look out for?

>>6551043
Bumpers

Thanks for all the usefull information your boots are so beautifull

Manlets cannot into RW boots

Planning to grab some Beckmans off of nordstrom

http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/red-wing-beckman-boot/3466458?origin=category&BaseUrl=Shoes

Do the iron rangers cause Clown Foot Syndrome in the wear? Should I be worried the Beckmans will do the same?

>>6551837
beckmans are the most clownish ones. just make sure you size them right or theyll end up looking like one.

>>6551043
what kind of leather is it? washing certain leathers can completely dry them out and might cause cracking..

>>6551845
based off images the iron rangers and beckmans seem pretty similar; how come the beckmans have it worse?

>>6551866
toe box is massive irl if you look at them from the sides.

>>6551850
Dry clean only, just noticed. Thanks for the warning. So, dropping the washing procedure, is the rest okay/improvable?

>>6551882
Good thing eye level is not at the ground, eh?

>>6551837
>Do the iron rangers cause Clown Foot Syndrome in the wear?

Only if you wear skinny jeans/trousers.

>>6550471
yo when am I getting a picture of those for my blog dude

hurry up

>>6551368
Would Meltonian Mink Oil Paste and Leather Honey Leather Conditioner be ok for them? They are dry clean only.

>>6551837

>clown feet syndrome

only if you are a skinny little gay twink. if you're normal shaped and sized then they would not become clown shoes

>>6550369

>heat leather with hair dryer. make sure it doesn't get too hot
>apply mink oil with fingers. only niggers and faggots apply it with a cloth.
>work the mink oil in by rubbing in a circular motion. you'll know if you've heated the leather right if the mink oil absorbs into the leather and darkens it a little.
>heat the recently mink oil'd part. apply a second and third if need be.
>finish up with the shoe, and then wipe the surface with a polishing cloth. it'll make sure that there isn't too much residue left, which could leave a sticky coat to your boots
>????
>profit!

>>6553301
fuck you

Just got a pair of Iron Rangers as well.

Obviously, raw denim would be the go-to pants to go with them, but what kind of lightweight tops would work with them?

>>6555575

solid color, v neck t shirts, or a chambray shirt with the sleeves folded up

>>6550483
smh those aint red wings
measure ur foot with those metal things and get the exact size u get on those, that at least worked for me, or just go toa damn red wing store and try em on there is bound 2 be one in ur area
