I offer this cautionary tale for your entertainment, since no one on this

I guess mostly In the outsole material and the lack of any sort of insole. I’m
sure anyone could do almost whatever they need to in redwings...They are super
solid boots.
That said there are other great boots made more specifically for walking and
hiking. I have 3 pairs of redwings, but If I h
I’m interested to better understand how you think Red Wings fall short in the
walking shoe category. I wouldn’t hike in them, but I do enjoy walking all day
in mine. Not disagreeing, just wondering if there’s a better option I’m
missing. I might be taking a look at Russell Moccasins, as my feet
Redwings are great. I’ve had many pairs. That said, if walking or hiking is
your purpose, I’d look elsewhere. Redwings are all basically In the workwear
category. Definitely capable of a lot, but not specialized for walking or
hiking.

Redwing used to do a really good job of training their “fitters”
Go in for a fitting and then try on the models that are made on the lasts that
best fit your foot.
They do have some of their shoes and boots made overseas.
The U.S. made boots I bought over the years wore very well.

I own two sets of Red Wings: Iron Rangers and Weekender Chukkas. I’m a huge fan
of both. Be sure to follow their sizing guidelines. I’m normally wear a 12.5 or
13, but I’m a size 11.5 when it comes to Red Wings. They’ll feel too tight at
first, but they’ll break in soon. The Chukkas in particula
I seem to find better fit from lasts used by the Italian makers. I've used
La Sportiva shoes in the workplace where I'm on my feet 12-14 hours a day
for many years. TX-2 (on my feet this moment) , TX-3, Bushido, Wildcat. I
guess this is predictable from my preference of Sidi cycling shoes' fit.
Lots of unracer stuff that most here know about, but also some fun stuff.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions.
Does anyone know anything about Redwing boots? I ask because someone
suggested them, tho' not from first hand experience -- he'd heard good
things of them; and, second, important, Redwing has a store in town. I'd
much rather try before I buy than try to fit b

Hi all,
I have a 63cm Waterford A. Homer Hilsen frame that needs to find a new
home. I'm the second owner, and it was well loved before me and used as my

even with all my mods, the bike was simply too small for me and I f
A great looking bike! Well done,

I actually do have one of those, haven't needed it since I switched to
using a front rack with a deeper tombstone on the Clem. Send me a private,
we'll get you sorted.

Just catching up on the saga of your Clem with Copenhagen Wheel. When my wife
wanted to add Pedal Assist to her Betty Foy I wanted the CW. Too early, it
wasn’t ready for market. Then they said No to 650B wheels. That killed it for
us. Went with a mid drive and rear rack battery. System wor
I second all of Deacon Patrick's recommendations.
Regarding ankle support, in my experience this is a misnomer. Boots that
cover your ankle provide *protection* (from rocks, brush, water, cold, etc)
but not *support*, there just isn't enough rigidity for that. In a similar
vein, soft insole

I received notice that my Black Friday purchased Copenhagen wheel shipped and
is going to be delivered on Tuesday.
I’ve been looking at these for awhile, then Joe comes along and makes it to

I'd have to go reverse on those bikes: orange frame, black (maybe blue) bags.
The bag was called a camera bag by Rivelo, I don't know RandiJo's stuff so
don't know if it's part of that line of bags.
