RED WING SHOES | CUSTOMIZED MOC TOE STYLES by HUKUROKUJU

check these different RWS styles originally fitted with the white RWS crepe sole. great japanese HUKUROKUJU gave them different rough new #100 and #132 VIBRAM soles. its a matter of taste if you like this or not. i think it depends on the boot and its color. seem to be some brand new boots and some repaired used boots. there are some styles we do not get in europe like the dark blue grey one, the white and the chocolate red suede one. very nice. pics | HUKUROKUJU

LTG BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 16 | RARE RED WING SHOES STYLE 1912 BECKMAN

this boot has a crazy story. i bought it in 2006 at RED WING SHOE STORE FRANKFURT. i saw this oro-russet BECKMAN and it was an absolute must-have. i knew this style just in the colors dark brown (the centennial – #1908), black, chestnut featherstone and black cherry featherstone. in 2011 i sold it to my buddy PETER because of an exploding boot closet … WHAT A MISTAKE. always when i saw PETER wearing this boot i got crazy. so i bought it back. since this day i wore my beloved 1912 just 3 times to preserve it. there is no information about the #1912 in the web … nothing. yep, i think i own a really rare and so awesome RED WING BOOT – MY1912 MOC TOE. pics | LTG

RED WING SHOES STYLE # 1907 | NEWS FROM THE RWS HERITAGE CENTRAL

yeah some news from the RED WING SHOES HERITAGE EUROPE CENTRAL. the #1907 is introduced in europe. i am sure that i owend this boot years before. so it is a comeback if i remember correctly. hm. okay, this is what RWS says about the #1907: “RED WING HERITAGE is announcing the arrival of one of north america’s most popular boot styles the 1907 to the european market. available now in RED WING SHOE STORE AMSTERDAM & the other RED WING SHOE STORES later this year the 1907 is modeled after the original Moc Toe work boot styles that made RED WING famous. the rough & rough leather used to build the 1907 is distressed pull-up leather with an antiqued appearance. the norwegian welt construction applies a double stitch that not only gives the boot a distinctive appeal but also makes the 1907 highly durable and functional. finished off with rawhide laces a traction tred outsole and triple stitch quality,  the 1907 is built to the same standards which make Red Wing the choice of the american worker.” a really nice classic boot. pics | RED WING HERITAGE
