BOOT OF THE DAY | #130 | VINTAGE RED WING “FRANKFURTER” SAND ROUGH OUT # 8118

he guys, if anyone will find an #8118 in 9.5D please send me an email – QUICK! i am so sad, because i owned this boot 20 years ago and i sold it! what a mistake!! at this time i did not like the SUPER SOLE anymore, but today i love it – great look! phantastic. this #8118 i found on japanese LOSTANDFOUND site. it is sold. from 1990 in absolute perfect condition; for luck it was a 8.5D.  my wife has had the same boot: her first RED WING BOOT ever. bought at B-EBENE frankfurt, main, from KAMI. before, we were at the RED WING STORE frankfurt. at this time the shop was owned by a grumpy american and he just told us “Ick harbe no schuhs for frauen …” and send us away. when we were at home i impregnated the boots with a BLACK spray by mistake. with the first spray kick the toe was black – what a disaster! so i sprayed on the other boot the same dosage, took a sandpaper and rubed the boots off: after that they looked more than perfect. hm … long time ago …  pics | LOSTANDFOUND

LIFE TIME GEAR BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 05 SMOKE JUMPER HATHORN by WHITE’S BOOTS

this classic SMOKE JUMPER was my first really heavy work boot. and till today i just wear these boots when i am hiking or when we have extremely bad weather. for good walking i customized the boot with a VIBRAM TREKKING SOLE and HEEL – this sole works really smooth! the boot is mega comfortable but this non-pussy thing is a WORK BOOT, special made for heavy work, walking and standing a long time a day and not for wearing by a graphic designer sitting in front of the MAC 12 hours a day. but i love this boots and would never sell it. it is still difficult and expensive to get WHITE’S, WESCO & co in europe. and i love the heritage a SMOKE JUMPER means …
