I’m getting these cleaned up a bit before sending them in to get resoled. I’ve used saddle soap for one cleaning session on the (photo side) left one. Nothing done to the other one yet.

I’m planning to take them to my local RW store to send in for the resole. I’ll probably just clean them and let the RW folks condition them.

I’ve had these since they were new in 2015. Have worn them daily for months and have let them sit for years at times.

Im open to any feedback or suggestions about cleaning them. Especially the rivets. Not sure if I like the patina or anything can be done to clean them. Also is there a better place to go for the resole? Thanks

After almost 3 years of buying my first pair of Iron Ranger 8111s and wearing them daily, I finally got the 8084s. Nothing like getting a new pair but I can’t wait to see how they’ll age in time.

After three and a half years on my feet it was time to retire my old Red Wing 2412 with a new pair. Some mink oil will go on and then they will be put in service.

After our company banned pull-on style boots I bounced around all KINDS of brands. Stumbled on these 2233s in Red Wing Dubais showroom on the way to join a rig. Had them for a short while now, super light, super comfy, tough as nails, and Made in the USA.

Everything I loved for years about the Pecos pull on work boots, but in a lace up variant. These are EEE width and I have 4E wide feet. No complaints. Been raw digging them, str8 Poron insole, and no issues with arch support etc while walking the deck 10-15k steps on the higher days.

They felt a tad bit dry out of the warehouse so threw some Saphir cream on em, and then just daily brushing with a horsehair brush!

I just had my 6" Burnside boots resoled for the first time. When I dropped them off the employee at the desk asked if I'd like the same soles as the replacement which I had said yes. Originally these came with a Vibram sole but when I picked them up I noticed they did not replace it with a Vibram but their own soles (I think).

Are these comparable to the original Vibram soles I had when I first bought the boots? These are my everyday boots but the treads look suspiciously thin compared to the Vibrams I originally had and I'm worried I'll walk through them in like a month. Just looking for anyone who's had this style sole before and their own experiences particularly with longevity.
