Wow! That's as old time small shop America as it gets. Truly a dying breed in this day and age of big box stores. Thanks for sharing.

Good looking boot refinishing job. I see a couple of rifle stock projects in the background. Are we going to see them as well?

You are right Sir Henry. Mostly hand made in Red Wing, Minnesota, Potosi, Missouri and Danville, Kentucky out of USA materials. Here is a pretty good read about Red Wing shoes.

I used to wear Red Wing boot exclusively. Being a Chef and on my feet all day requires good cushioning and ankle support. I've had ankle surgery and have 2 knee replacements, both left and right - (long story). I have found, however, that Red Wings can be quite heavy due to its rugged construction. I am now wearing an over-ankle 5.11 Tactical boot that provides excellent support but is much lighter. Still no complaints about when I wore Red Wings tho.

I couldnt figure out what was missing from that picture Bandit. But now I know its the 444 ammo box. Nice job on the boots. We have a local Red Wing store where I live but I havent been in there in years.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

FWIW, both colors seem fine, especially for 25 bucks, but glad you figured out the magic formula to a great Red Wing dye job. Who'da guessed case lube was in the recipe?

I miss the Red Wing white socks. Best replacement found so far Kirkland from Costco.
