I work at Red Wing in the welt department and make these almost every day. I need to correct you on one thing. The welt is stitched on with the black thread you see, into the rib beneath the insole. The midsole (that thin, almost invisible layer beneath the welt) is stitched onto the welt with the white thread that runs around the top of the welt. Glad to see people enjoying the stuff I help make 👍

I'm honestly okay with sponsors. You're going to be cutting the shoes in half. There's nothing to hide,. If a company is willing to pay for you to show the world the flaws in their products, more power to you.

When I graduated High School and told my Dad I hated school and he didn't need to worry about sending me to college - he went and got me a big old used Snap-On toolbox and a pair of Red Wing Boots. Been happy ever since.

I would pay $80-$100 for a pair a boots once or twice a year. Always buying a new brand or model trying to find something better. One day my wife said to try on some redwings. They were $225. I ended up buying them. I’ve had the same pair for 4 years and they’re still great. Definitely the best bang for buck boots I’ve found. $200 a year, every single year on carhardt or Cat boots. Or $225 for 4 + years. No brainer

Honestly i had no problem with the sponsors, especially when you see how expensive some of these boots can get

Take any sponsorship you can, I trust your integrity and reviews.

If you’re gonna be buying Redwings (especially if it’s for work) it is totally worth a trip to one of their stores for a proper fitting. The service people are exceptional and know what they are doing (also, the custom insoles make a huge difference if you are wearing these 8+ hours a day). As others have said, a little more expensive but much more comfortable and durable than any other boot I’ve worn.

I'm an automotive technician and bought my first pair of Red Wings around 1985. Over 35 years later, they are still the only brand I wear. Just had my current pair resoled. That pair is going on 15 years. Best books ever made!

Not an ad every 3 minutes, give aways, and solid info. This is the KZfaqr we need. 👊🏽 Rose Anvil 2020!!

I have a pair of loggers that are 40 yrs old, been resoled 6 times, still going strong

I owned 2 pair of these exact boots, I bought them in the 90's. Back then the quality was excellent. They become a part of your body once they are walked in. They will survive everything that you throw at them. They will get scratched, worn down but you'll love them just the same. The best shoes I have ever worn. Subscribed for your integrity about sponsors en choosing to earn less money by doing the right thing! Refreshingly honest. Congrats

Long ago I bought a pair. They not only cured my aching feet but wore like a tank. They also paid for themselves quickly. Sadly I never wore them out because due to an accident caused by someone else, I became a paraplegic and no longer needed them. But if I hadn't, I would stillmbexwearing them 20 years later.

I always thought it was Croctober

When I was young and starting out in the working world I was told by an old timer that only two things would allow me to keep going. A good pair of work boots and a good mattress.

My bf had some redwing boots custom fitted for himself. He was in taekwando and has a habit of not lifting his feet as frequently as most people. He was also a tall guy so his feet and shoes needed to support a lot of weight. He was so upset when he lost those boots while moving. I'd never seen a pair of shoes last him that long without ANY tangible wear and tear. He would run through shoes like no other but those redwings lasted 5 years with him until he lost them

Besides the well-researched info that I get from Rose Anvil commentaries, it is unmatched by the joy I get from watching an expensive boot cut in half!

I've been wearing Redwings for about 40 years. I've tried other popular brands here abd there, but I've always come back to Redwings. They're comfortable and last a long time.

As a retired shipyard sandblaster, I SWEAR by Red Wing Boots...the absolute lightest boots I have EVER worn in my life..going up and down scaffolding, crawling around decks, the MOST roughest work situations you could imagine, my Red Wings kept my feet so comfy and safe..God bless this company...Not cheap, but you get so much comfort and safety out of their boots...Bravo !!!

I have plantar fasciitis and I bought my first pair this year and love them. The comfort is fantastic.

The Cadillac of boots. Been wearing the past 34 years of very hard on boots construction type work. They never let me down! Brand new pair of Pecos in the closet. Still trying to wear my old pair out first! In my business when your feet are tired, hurting or wet….. the day is finished! I love mine!!!

I have worn all kinds of work boots over the years but have to say that the Red Wing brand are the best. They are expensive but to me worth it.. The style that I have incorporate a safety toe and are electrical hazard rated. I could wear them year round with no discomfort. Nice channel.

I know I’m getting old when watching a nice pair of boots get cut up has me conflicted

The 100 year old machine thing is interesting. At my factory job here in Indiana we make be ball jar lids. Still using the same 40 ton presses they used back in the old days too. They’re a handful to maintain

I wear red wings Irish setter version of these for work (I work at a garden center on my feet in water and dirt all day lifting and climbing) and I love them!! Worth every penny and I live in Minnesota so I’m happy to support a made in America brand.

I’ve been working in carpentry for almost 6 years now and i’ve worn moc toe redwings for 4 years now and they have held up better than any other boot i’ve used

I love how he said you can work in them if you have to lol My dad had worn them for 3 years now and had the re- soled 2 times he loves them Myself i have the Irish setters like this and they are great 👍

🌟Watching this for the first time and WOW, have you grown! Over 900k. That’s awesome. You’ve worked hard and invested in the cut in half, giving really good content. You’ve helped me to make many informed choices and I really appreciate all you’ve done. Thanks!

I just started in the aviation industry, so I know I'll be on my feet all day. Bought 2 pairs of BRNR, XP, Red Wings, One pair of Timberland Boondocks and a pair of Thorogood Midnight Black Moc Toe. Thanks for the all the advice and videos on boots. I'll be switching my boots so they last longer. I'm ready to move aircraft at O'Hare 😎✨

Yeah, I stand by what I have said before. Take the sponsorships. Even though your videos are informative and great fun, it ain't worth bankrupting yourself over...

Sponsors are better than just random adverts, at least there is a connection and we know they too support you. Loving and Sharing your content, already subscribed.

Bought a pair of 877, 7 years in changed the resole / heal twice the look great and are awesome and way better quality than any other boots I’ve had

The last pair I bought was the dark leather, waterproof, plastic toe and I think sole with speed laces. I' like never buy another pair of boots without speed laces. One of the best boots I've ever owned!

Love my Mocs, and this may be one of the best adverts for the RW company.....great stuff mate, keep up the content!

Take the sponsors. I got a pair of Lems because they weren't afraid to have their products cut up and shown.

Been here for a while! Rewatching this video because I just got a pair! Wonderful! You sir are a national treasure

I’ve been wearing a leather lace red wing for 9 ys. Totally agree with yours, and thanks for sharing

I've been wearing the super sole, and now the super sole 2.0 since 2006. Each pair lasts over two years in my industry as a steel working defense contractor for the navy. Best decision I made in my professional life next to a great mattress is a great pair of boots.

Don't forget to also do Redwing's 1907 Moc. It's less well known than the ones in this video but I think it's a better boot. It has a different last and different construction (storm welt)

Love red wings. Been wearing them for 38 yrs now. I do concrete work and these are amazing boots. Last a long time and incredibly comfortable for all day work.

I’ve owned 6 pairs of the 10877’s (work version of the 877 heritage), 1 pair of the 877 heritage boot, a pair of Thorogoods, a pair of Irish Setters and about 5 other styles of Redwing boots. The 10877’s are by far my favorite boots. The Thorogood boots feel amazing when trying them on, but can’t compare to the comfort of the 10877’s after the 2 week break-in. The Redwing boots can be worn 16 hours a day, 6 days a week with a resole every 6 months. Yes, I’m a hard working family man in the construction field. The Thorogood’s broke down faster and are much heavier at the base, leg and body fatigue sets in after 8 hours. The 8” Redwing will feel like a sock after 1 month of use, the Thorogood felt heavier and heavier as the year went on. Getting an 8” boot allows you to lock the boot further up your leg which keeps you firmly planted in the boot and allows your leg to lift the boot rather than your ankle. Also, the 877 heritage leather felt heavier over the 10877 and I like the black eyelets on the 10877 over the nickel on the 877’s. Love these cutaway vids!! Dope channel.

Working in a machine shop, the oil and coolant breaks them in pretty quick 😁

First of all thank you. Second, if I may make a polite suggestion. I , and many others buy boots for function and not necessarily looks. There was a great deal of time spent on the type and color of the leather and zero mention on arch support and flex. I understand these types of reviews can be anecdotal but I need something. I watched a 17 minute video to hopefully gain some info on how these boots are going to affect my body after standing at work for eight hours on cement, but all I learned was what it looks like when cut apart and the color of the leather.

Almost got me exited, but oh, boy, video from 2 years ago. Thank you anyway. I discovered your channel about a month ago and slowly going through your videos. Big thanks for the good educational content! And to the man who had to sleep at work on the 20$ mattress, thanks for your dedication too

The best boots I ever owned were made by Red Wing for the USAF. They were pole climbing boots, steel toe and shank with a 1.5 inch thick sole. I could walk and stand on steel all day and my feet would never hurt. Pity that they only lasted 6 years.

I've had a pair of Red Wings going on 3 years now and they're worn 10 hours a day 5 days a week. Best $250 I ever spent. My 2 gripes with them are 1) when the boots finally wear out, they do not have the same model that worked for me previously. 2) some boots are made in China or other Asian countries. They quality seems good just not made in USA.

Best part about growing up near Red Wing, was knowing people at Red Wing Shoe, getting great prices and great quality boots.

Thanks for your channel. It was packed with valuable information. Good luck tracking 300k. I’ve joined today

a giant wall sized glass case of each shoe you've cut open would be so awesome. floor to celing, showing one good side of the shoe, and next to it, the "inside" of the shoe.

I'm getting these in a few days. This video only made me more convinced I choose the right ones! Thank you!

damn my eyes hurt when u cut them red wings bruh

I am also a big fan of how things were done here in the US in the old days. I am undecided on Thorogoods,Red Wings and Danner Boots. First video I see on your channel, liked it and I'm subscribing. Thanks for the info Brotha!

you already have over 300.000 subscribers !!. Congrats

Take any sponsorships you get dude. Don't be backing out on being able to provide for yourself because some people are complaining.

Just bought my first pair of red wing shoes. Google is definitely listening as you came up in my suggestions lol Subbed. Great content brother!

They make some of the best boot I used when doing construction!

congratulations on your almost 500,000 subscriber. 🎉🎉🎉

Most comfortable working boots for the working man!!!?,I absolutely love them...thanks for the vid...

I work in aviation and spend 10-12 hours a day on concrete.. I’ve wear Red Wings, Keen, Timberland over the last 40 years. I alternated between Keen & Red Wing. I’d didn’t know about all these other upper end boots that you’ve educated me on. I’ve never heard you talk about Keen’s . Now I wonder if you didn’t do a program about Keen maybe they’re made very well.

My dad bought me my first Red Wings in 1996 when I got my first construction job. Best working boots I’ve ever had. I used them for everything.

I subscribed. I've watched your videos for a while, but the pleading convinced me.

Ended here by curiosity and got hooked.

Cutting half my beloved 875 shoes so I don't have to.... you just got a subscriber. Great content

These videos are fantastic for educating consumers. As someone who works with leather though I cry a little on the inside when it comes down to cutting them in half.

I wear the Redwing 405 every day. On my second resole. Love to see a cut down on it! Subscribed.

Redwing boots have had an awesome reputation since I was a kid in the 1970s.

I've owned my Red Wing Moc's since 2017, worn pretty much every day on construction job sites. Extremely comfortable with all the walking/time I spend on my feet. Can attest to the grind breaking the boots in is but they are extremely comfortable. These are my first pair of Red Wings and I will buy more down the road.

I wear EH metatarsal steel toes by Red wing. At first they weren't very comfortable. After being broken in they are very comfortable and durable. Really like having comfort and durability

can I say I found this video in 2023 and it was so awesome to hear you say you were hoping for 200k subs by the end of the year which seemed like a longshot, only to see this video was 3 years old and you currently have 2.2million subs. Hell yeah.

I like how my man just cuts the laces instead of taking them out

Just got my first pair. Switched over from Tim pros. Work in wet conditions almost all the time and I was going through a pair of Tim pros of all different kinds about every 6 months, they almost always fail in the same way no matter how much I water proof and maintain them. From what I hear red wings will fix abused boots so that will probably work out great for me.

I love that you're a boot nerd, I am too! I actually manage a red wing store here in Orem Utah 👍

Red Wing also does repair, per their web site.

I’m far more inclined to buy from a brand that is willing to be transparent about the construction of their product by literally having you tear apart their footwear. It gives me much more confidence in the purchase because I know exactly what I’m getting into. Please take all the Sponsorships you want. Its all part of how you grow and get noticed. This channel is A1.

You more than doubled your subscribers goal from this video. Good job bro!

Awesome job !!

I worked in a steel mill until 1986 when I graduated from College. Prior to leaving the steel mill, to pursue my business degree, I was able to get a brand new pair of Steel Toe Red Wings. It is now September of 2021 and I still wear the same boots. I have kept them clean and supple, they are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn.

Those are my dads boots. He’s been wearing them forever and loves them. Makes me nostalgic just to look at them.

I’ve had these Loggermax steel toes since 2015, and they are Still waterproof, still wear really good!!

Great video. Love these boots

I've had my redwings for 12 years, most comfortable boots I've ever worn. My other pair are 25 years old, retired to the shoe closet.

One you break in your redwings it’s smooth sailing from there.

Wanted to comment and say that these videos pushed me to bite the bullet and buy some good boots. Thanks for making these and improving our lives and knowledge.

Excellent explanation simple and very clear, really like it!!!

Another thing a high gusset does is prevent, or really slow the march of dry grass seeds up the fold and into your socks and then your ankle skin. If you work in the field in areas where the grass is really dry in the summer, with wild oats, fox tails, goat grass, and other nuisances, those high gussets are life savers.

After wearing Red Wings for twenty plus years I found out how important the dealer is. My dealer in Tallahassee FL is obsessed with his product and is a straight shooter. Some of the other folks are a little less concerned with keeping customers happy.

Been wearing red wing boots since 1985. Is simply incredible.

Ironworker triple Eddie. Had my foot molded when I got my first wings 20 years ago. Loved them have 3 pairs. Just get the sole redone every few years and oil them up and you have a boot for life. Fantastic boots.

Bummed me out to see those boots just cut in half. I could wear those for the next ten years.

I’ve been in a construction union for 13 years now & I wanna say around my 6th year in I would always wonder why all carpenters I came across would have these on. Until that time I wore Timberlands ... anyway , I asked a random carpenter on my site why do they all wear that specific boot. The guy pretty much said just try a pair on. I went & did just that , I went & tried a pair on & ended up buying the 8inch heritage boot. I’ve never bought a diff brand since , it literally feels like you’re working with slippers on. The most comfortable boot that I’ve ever had 100%

wore these OUT in a college maintenance position, LOVE them. the top is still good, I just need to get them resoled!

New Zealand Redwing 875 owner here. Got lucky on size. Love these boots.

I have been wearing red wings for near 20 years, the most comfortable boot I've ever put on my feet for work. Once broken in its even better but a very sad day when they are no longer useable

What boot do you recommend for a bad back? ( lower back ) thank you for the review, sir. 🙏🏼

190 lb 40 year old guy here, I have had my moc toe ( those exact boot) boots for over a year… and I absolutely love them. I Highly recommend them. I have worn all kinds of boots, by far for my usage these boots are absolutely the best. Quality of leather is very very good. Brake in period was longer than ideal ( i did NOT use any oil/ break in conditioner) …. Highly recommended getting your foot measured from the store. I wear a size 11.5 in Nike tennis shoes and I wear a 9.5 in these boots .. Hope this helps someone out there in the KZfaqs world.

I just wore my lace up steel toe Red Wings today. I wear them when running the brush saw and chainsaw.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with Red Wings, but the fact that the first pair of work boots I bought from them lasted 5 years of working and motorcycle riding does mean they're the only boots I buy.

I have the same boot and they were good for a while. My biggest complaint with these boots is the sole. They are absolutely horrible on snow/ice. I am a commercial electrician mostly doing new builds. During the winter, I have to walk extremely gingerly on the slightest ice. But overall my impression is good.

I keep watching these videos and then forget about subscribing. So after your last plea. I did it whilst watching so I've subscribed and bell notificated at last great videos. Love the series especially

I want a pair of those ... The style is set apart and just great looking .
