Redwing boots service

We often write reviews or video blogs when a company or product lets us down, but I wanted to give credit to a company that I feel is doing it RIGHT! I've had a wonderful experience with Redwing Shoe Company. Great product, Great service PERIOD.

I have a pair of Worx boots that I have had for 4 to 5 years, they look brand new because I rarely wear them. It kills my feet after a half day in them. I just can't get through the break-in. Part of it is my ankles. Higher tops and my ankles just don't work well together. Any tips to suffer through the break in?

@jknacasual - The worx are nice. I've heard that soaking them with rubbing alcohol and then wearing them helps. I just expect a month of pain during the break in period. After that month though; boy howdy, they're like wearing clouds. All this is assuming they fit. if it is a poor fitting boot, there's almost nothing that can be done. If there are some pinch points, take them to a cobbler that can work those areas. thanks brother!

I would never use anything but redwing boots! I can play basketball in my steel toes. And I must say that im at least 6 years in on this pair and only half way worn out. Well worth the money,,,

@kindacoiny - buy once, cry once. But, you're right, they are a pleasure to wear. there are few things left in the world that you can call a value. Thanks -j

Man it's good to hear your voice!! I had a pair of redwings that lasted me about ten years also. I loved those boots. It about six months to get my feet broke in but for the next 9 1/2 years they fit me like a glove. I ruined them with welding splatter though. Thus vid made me decide to get another pair. Good to see you! Will you be planting soon?

@bctruck - It's good to be heard. I hope all is well with you. I hope to be a little more active again, but the "L" part of CLB has hit me hard.

Won't be long now and I'll be having pounds and pounds of 'maters!

Resole service has gone up to 95 dollars, according to a response from RW today. I am not sure how much local cobblers charge. RW has gone up a lot in recent years.

@hunt1803 - Thanks. The only problem is that when buy china crap it doesn't go to pay off anything. You definitely have to pay a premium for Made in the USA, but sometimes it's worth it.
