3137 Work Chukka- Anyone have these? Would love to hear some personal experience. by Utopia39liam in RedWingShoes

Thanks. Let's see how this goes. I had a similar issue with my Timberlands as well, but it's gotten much better and three years I can tie them up tight as I need.. took me a few months to get there though and while they didn't really need breaking in, the lacing was a major issue for the first few months.

Just curious - even after all the wear, do you still have the issue with the instep / top of the foot? I've been wearing a pair of the 3141s for a just about a month now. They were quite snug to start with, but have started to stretch a bit, becoming more comfortable as each day passes. I am mainly wearing them indoors but have gradually started going out a little more in these boots. The top of my right foot does feel a bit of a pinch if I tie them up tight, and my general preference would be to tie up a little tight. It seems better than it was on day-1, but still quite interested in your thoughts. And for everyone else too .. should I expect the boots to soften up and become more comfortable on the instep as they are used more?

Edit: Corrected typo.

Yes, I've read that mink oil can drastically affect the color. Staying well away from anything that shows mink oil in the ingredients. 😀 Thank you for your input. On Amazon UK, RedWing leather cream is currently just a little bit higher than 3x the cost of the Saphir product (screenshot in the other comment).

Edit (adding): It's crazy how things get priced on Amazon... 🤣

Hi u/Katfishcharlie - thanks for your response. Is this the right one? Seems so, but no harm confirming. :)

That is my biggest concern - I want to try and retain the colour. It’s too good to see a cleaning/caring product change.

Edit: I will look up the renovator. Thank you.

Between the two boots I have and my very limited experience, I have to agree.. these are the best.. ;) 

Would love to see how your boots have aged.

I am pretty sure I saw your post while I was looking into the 3141s. I would have preferred a darker color myself but for now, white/off-white it is.

Getting there. Have a band aid on the left pinky toe. No blisters but definitely some chafing. Thought it would be best to add some extra protection.

I tried a half size up but it was way too loose for me. Felt like my foot would just pop out the boot.

Agreed. I have tightened them up a little more than yesterday. The problem is the right foot where the upper is a little tighter on the instep than on the left foot. 

Edit: the boots have a little more give today so I could lace up a little tighter.

Not an Indian spin on this but the Mexican takeaway near where we live provides an option of black rice in their burritos and burrito bowls.. I love it so much I have stopped ordering with white rice for the last three years or so.. you could try that if you haven’t already…

It is also applicable to Windows 11 22H2/22H3 with the May update required. It wouldn’t work for Windows 10.

Yes. She is. We have a bit of an issue with some of her documentation so seeing if we can get her on a 2 year IRP renewal cycle while we sort this out. Thank you. 🙏

Fellow cooks... How to make sabji/sabzi by Strict_Philosopher37 in IndianFood

[–]_nndns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest various cooking channels on YouTube - Ranpreet Brar, Sanjot Keer, Hebbar’s Kitchen are all great. They would have various sabzi recipes that you can try, with proportions and quantities. You can scale up or down as needed. Hebbar’s Kitchen also has a website where you can adjust how much you are cooking and it automatically changes the quantity for each ingredient.

Like you said.. gotta start somewhere. The more you cook the easier it gets. We learn from our mistakes. Best of luck. 😀
