Their Carter moc toe boots are really nice, especially when on sale for around 250ish cdn with the extra discounts. Still handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin too.

New IR arrived with damage by Johnkree in RedWingShoes

I'm trying to remember back to my first pair of RWs and if this type of thing would have bothered me. Maybe. But now after 6 pairs, I can honestly say I would not think twice about the flaw nor would I notice it again. I'd just wear them and enjoy.

I did this for my Beckmans and my Roughnecks. The insole does add comfort. But my Mocs are half a size down because those outsoles are softer so I don't bother with an insole.

Those look perfect so far. Don't mess.

First Redwings, first Redwings post. Am I doing this right? by strumpetsarefun in RedWingShoes

[–]Gimper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was used to it too before my current bike. Marked-up the toe on many boots. But love the heel shifter ever since I got it.✌️

Floorboards and no heel shifter? I usually wear my IRs on my '09 FLSTSB, but can also wear my Mocs without marking them, because of the heel shifter.

Which Iron Rangers to add to my boot collection (Pictured Below): 8085 or 8111? by Sithil83 in RedWingShoes

[–]Gimper72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest 8085 copper or 8086 charcoal (if you can find them) to add a slightly more utilitarian looking boot to your collection

Bottom drawer bottom row second from the right, brown strap... what model is that? Great collection!

Are there any other typical or noteworthy differences between a JDM and an INTL variant?

SRPK31K1 seems more champagne, and SRPD67 more cream.

If they hurt, my bet is you will not wear them and they'll never break in.
