That is some SERIOUS dedication to own an example of EVERY version of a particular boot but I understand the sentiment and reasoning. I have every model of a certain vintage adjustable DE safety razor. Believe me, your thinking and actions are both understood and appreciated. Great collage near the end! Be A Boot! ;)
Thanks for the interesting video 👏🥾. Let us hope Red Wing will put them into their heritage line again. Of course in that Muleskinner version (among possible other options ?). 👍 Greetings from 🇩🇪 .
Totally agree about Red Wing. Been off my map for a while. Outside of a few grail models I have zero interest in anything they've done the past few years. Almost seems like the heritage line's best days are behind them. If I have to see one more moc/wedge sole release I'm gonna puke, and I do appreciate moc toes. Looks like they're trying to go for mass appeal/comfort and streetwear fashion instead of steering into the hardcore heritage boot/gear niche.
And they started to use a foam footbed in newer models instead of cork You're right though, they just regurgitate the same tired SB leather and models over and over. Horween/Seidel leather in an RW anyone? Forget about it.
That’s because the legend himself, Michiya Suzuki who brought back the heritage line 10+ years ago from the archives left red wing a few years ago. The brand has gone off into a completely different direction sadly…
Yup, gateway. Got into the hard stuff right away. Been handling the added RW scores like my baseball glove at ten years old - shaping, breaking in, admiring. Craftsmanship. Trying to show the spousal unit what you did with the 9866 but I think she thinks I made you up.
Wow, I was hooked on all your amazing Red Wing collection. I thought you were no longer a Red Wing fan. I know your latest obsession is the Luchesse, but the Pecos is the epitome of Roper classics IMO. Nice to see you’re back on the wagon. 😉
Hello! You touched a little on sizing, comparing the size of these boots to other red wing boots, but I'm curious how these size when compared to normal shoes. Are these true to size?
My boy RUSTY🤣
Good to see you back CJ!
Don't mind for not having any reviews for quite a long time since you might have been busy. Good content as always. Keep it going, CJ.
Always appreciate the content! And still on the hunt for some Hawthorne Rover/round toe in a 10.5

Hahaha! That is funny
great video, you should go back to showing us a bit more of those boots that are a bit less extreme but more for everyone.

Great Video. I have them in Black.
The black rough out?
@@CJCook
Hi CJ. Yes the Black Rough Out.
I regret a few year ago on Nordstrom Rack they had All these boots for sale. Wish I would of bought them all. They don't sell Red Wing anymore.
Wow i have one for the past 25 years
Really?! I bet they look amazing 🤩
@@CJCook they still look amazing and are in good shape
Hey CJ! How easy are they to put on/pull off? The Red Wing Chelsea’s I got are surprisingly difficult!
Extremely easy. If you have a boot jack...even easier
Hello! You touched a little on sizing, comparing the size of these boots to other red wing boots, but I'm curious how these size when compared to normal shoes. Are these true to size?
Not completely. These are E width. My foot measures 27cm. These boots are 9E.
Cj what’s your brannock size?
10.5
To bad Red Wing only has the Chelsea as a pull on boot. Wesco and Nick’s are really hard to find in Europe.
WESCO, White's and Nick's make a better boot. Sometimes they so up on eBay.
What hats are those ?
All Stetsons
So sad these have been discontinued
I agree
Greetings
I wear my 8188s all the time. I wish I could find another pair or two.
I bet your 8188s look amazing!
Жив курилка!
Да, я жив!
Europe and Asia have more redwing models ….. what is up with that?
They have the market sales for all those models. Even Europe gets some cool stuff that the States do not.
The last pair of Red Wings I saw were made in China. Pass.
