WORK BOOT BRANDS | THE FOUNDING YEARS
nice to know, clear scheme, easy to keep in mind. ok, RED WING SHOES founded in 1905 was in mind,
having two centennial models in my cupboard. the others? THOROGOOD is the oldest brand? the VIBERG
boot manufacturing ltd. is missing; they make boots since 1931.
BOOT OF THE DAY | #13 | DANNER POSTMAN
there are still other POSTMAN styles beside the ones from RED WING and BEAMS. DANNER japan
offers four very nice chukka boots ( two styles in black are not shown below: matt finished and polished
like the RED WING). they look very similar. but take a look at the seams (single x double sewn) and
the soles (VIBRAM x CUSHION). the danner chukka remembers me to the one from VIBERG.

LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES IX “WINTERWEAR #2“
it is still snowing and very cold in middle germany near frankfurt/main. my favorite parka
is still in revision but my buddy KAMI from B74 gave me another LIFE TIME GEAR piece:
a SPIEWAK N3A PARKA from the golden fleece series. great stuff: lightweight and comfortable
but very warm. it works great with the quilted POST OVERALLs vest. VOLLS got a lot of
POST O’ stuff two weeks ago. is there another shop in germany who sells this great stuff
from NYC? i don’t think so. but the best for deep snow walking are my WHITE’S HATHORN
SMOKEJUMPER with their heavy vibram trekking sole – these boots are what i call
LIFE TIME GEAR!

BOOT OF THE DAY | #09 | Red Wing Shoe PECOS
classic rws PECOS from a deadstock 1979, found on a japanese site.
BOOT OF THE DAY | #08 | LIFETIMEGEAR’s first Red Wing Shoe Style 8804
yes, with this boot my passion for work boots started more than 20 years ago. this rws is
called the “FRANKFURTER“. i bought it, i think it was in 1988, in frankfurt/main at the
RED WING STORE which was owned by an unfriendly american. he was really original and
believe me, he did not sell RED WINGs to everyone. i remember one day, when we wanted
to buy a pair rws for my wife he just told us: “we have no shoes for women“ he turned around
and everything was said. time changed and we are happy, that KAMI (owner) and RALF do
a really good job since a lot of years now at the one and only RED WING STORE in germany.
this store is the mothership of all the others coming up the last two years. pics | LTG
