RedWing

Just thought it would be a good idea to start a general topic about RedWing shoes and boots.

Since i've bought my first pair i really started to love and appreciate these shoes, they combine very high quality and comfort in one shoe.

So for anyone who has a question about RedWing's, they can ask them here.

I have a question about taking care of the leather.
I've heard RedWing also sells mink-oil, does anyone have experience with it?

Some online stores that sell Red Wings:

European mainland

Cultizm
http://www.cultizm.com/index.php?cat...ing-Shoes.html

..

if you buy your wings at the official distributor in germany you always get mink oil with them :D

definetly the best to keep your boots smooth & durable...
1. mink oil on the boot
2. wait 24h
3. polish your boot with a soft brush

Real nice collection Dave, good variety, and it doesn't need to be big since these will last forever!

When i see the mink-oil somewhere i'll be sure to get me a bottle.
Mine don't need care right now, they're still brand new.

Here's a link to the RedWing site btw.> http://www.redwing.com

Thank Dave023! I found them! But you would not believe the shipping charges! I am going to see if it was a mistake.... ($80 USD).
