I don’t crank down on the laces though. Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz

One of my best buds that owns a Redwing store said they'd be back. But bought Justin style 4444 & like them better than most. Will repeat if needed, if they're available next time around. Had umpteen pairs of RW. High mileage is all I can give them points for.

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I forget the model, but I liked the last pair I had a bit better, but they are now discontinued. So far, these are great as well. I used to wear 1155s, but I always ended up rolling the heels over and busting out the stiches. These with the wider rubber sole/heel do not do that. Last edited by gregintenn; 09/09/21.

These have been resoled 4 times and the welt replaced and the cracks are getting bad. They can't be worked on again, and the soles are kinda thin so it was time.....
