BOOT COLLECTION #02 | VOLKER WIEGMANN c/o vintagepanerai.com

VOLKER WIEGMANN has a very nice collection of RED WING SHOES. this is indeed not a
mainstream or fashion line up. these boots were well choosen by their owner. volker is
working as a production manager and coordinator of a very fine printing plant i often work
with. he is well known as one of the 2 men behind VINTAGEPANERAI.COM. with his buddy
RALF EHLERS he wrote 2 excellent panerai books and a third one is in progress. volker
is wearing RWS since 18 years and he never sold a pair. he got his first pair in 1993 from
PETER HECKMANN at darmstadt’s SURFERSPOINT which was closed years ago. peter
was a missionary for RWS in germany and especially in darmstadt. he has still a shop
but offers no RWS anymore. pics | Volker Wiegmann

RED WING SHOES | CUSTOMIZED VINTAGE IRISH SETTER

it is done. my beloved vintage green IRISH SETTER is back from my new SHOEMAKER. after searching
just a long time i found a shoemaker who is able to customize my boots the way i want to. CANER from
SCHUHBAR in darmstadt, germany, did a real good job. he is an artisan by heart and happy that i send
him FRED with a package full of RED WING SOLES. we will do some experiments the next months.
beside the setter he customized an ALDEN and another RWS BECKMAN boot for me. excellent work!
guys, if your boots need new soles check out EXPRESS SCHUHBAR in darmstadt-city, grafenstr. 37.
and don’t worry CANER is not an express shoemaker. the name is really old and was created by the
former owner of the shop; it will be changed soon. bad pics | LTG
