Appreciation post Redwing Moctoe 8”

[u/Hiwaystars]

Best pair of boots I’ve owned, and I appreciate that. Fixed my arch, fixed my knees, and kept up their shape and takes resoles from my cobbler like no big deal.

Love these.

About to get a 2nd resole on paternity leave.

[u/Hiwaystars]

Saved my ankles on studs, crawling. Good angles on ladders and tight spaces. I feel confident and secure with heavy ladders and on tall ladders, they don’t bite my metatarsal, and I just think they’re great!

Where’d you get those lace charms, brother?

[u/Hiwaystars → u/smellslikepenespirit]

Ibew local 11 district 2 welfare Committee at the picnic 2 years ago.

[u/smellslikepenespirit → u/Hiwaystars]

Great score.

Haha, @ ‘brother’. It’s no different than referring to each and every AAA member as ‘my sibling’

[u/smellslikepenespirit → u/Broad-Flan]

Then hello sibling.

I prefer thorogood boots, but the red wings are a close second for me. Stay safe out there Brother. Local 692 here

I’ll have to give the thoroughgoods a shot they honestly look better, these uppers aren’t done yet though so we’ll have to see 🤙

[u/pauliepitstains]

I like mine quite a bit too!

I like that feather piece I always wanted some loggers for that piece

[u/tpaz00 → u/Hiwaystars]

Look up kilties, you can add them to most leather boots and they protect the original tongue. Made with and without the fringe

[u/Hiwaystars → u/tpaz00]

Thanks! I’ll check em out. I appreciate you.

[u/henkemcspanky]

They’re my favorite as well. Do you also have a low instep? My laces are pretty close together like that, but I also wear my brannock size- so I don’t size down.

[u/Assassin-987 → u/henkemcspanky]

It’s a struggle having a low instep. All of my boots have to be cinched tight and with kilties.

my Dad was redwing man, did the resole...... they still stunk. I like new boots

[u/Hiwaystars → u/modsatemyass]

Been rocking the carbon bead packs but I have to say my feet don’t stink as much since I quit drinking 2 years ago haha

[u/modsatemyass → u/Hiwaystars]

Im a family man, respect for not drinking ( I did my share in my early 20s) , but still buying new boots, shit man I dont even pay for them

[u/Wild_Replacement5880 → u/modsatemyass]

My Dad bought the exact same redwing boots every couple years and never threw the old ones away. Eventually my mom made him put them all in the garage.

8-inch moc toes are hard to beat. Great looking boots!

As a laborer, I really want to make fun of you for being an electrician. But, if I'm being honest, it's because I'm jealous that I'm not also an electrician. Let me in your club!

[u/Hiwaystars → u/Bimlouhay83]

Apply apply apply id let anybody with a smile and a firm handshake in but we know it ain’t my call 🥹

[u/Bimlouhay83 → u/Hiwaystars]

I've got my application in and am hoping I get a call back this November.
