Just a daily reminder that Red Wing / Heritage boots are literally reddit-tier and you're more than likely a pasty neckbeard with no taste if you're even considering buying them.
>She even greeted me with 'Hold on, I have to go help this guy with some Heritage models' as I walked in. She explained that most RW retailers won't touch Heritage boots because "16 and 17 year olds get them from their mommies and want to return them when they're too stiff", and that they only have 4 lasts of that line with no sizes below 9.

I'm laughing so hard. I can't believe people buy these pieces of shit.
Disgusting neckbeard boots, IRs are pathetic. Just flat out pathetic.

why get meme shoes? People used to post here about getting Wolverine 1000 mile shoes and I've never seen RW on /fa/ back when i used to browse regularly
>>10670893
There is objectively nothing wrong with RW from a fashion perspective. Only thing that's wrong is your head up your ass, and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
What's wrong with them?
>>10670930
/fa/ cares more about brands and what people think than if clothes look good/unique/interesting. We don't like RW because everyone wears RW.
Attempts to copy the artistic forms of others are drole. You should be pushing the medium in new directions so people will look at YOU and say 'I want to be that'.
>>10670914
>>10670943
>They have bought RWs
HOLY SHIT le autismo
not my favorite footwear but if it's a choice between these and yeezy or geobaskets i will take the rws
>>10670983
did you even read >>10670943
he says you should wear things because you think they look good, not because other people (/fa/ and mfa) tell you to wear them/are wearing them.
>>10670943
I've literally never seen anyone other than me wear shoes that would even closely resemble Red Wing. Where the hell do you live if you think that everyone wears them?
>>10670983
That accusation holds zero water. No I have not bought those and have yet to come across them with my own eyes.
I'm not going to defend RW either. But stop lying to yourself just. Just because someone tells you that RW is shit, then you shouldn't obey that opinion. Develop your own opinion instead
Literally the fedora of boots.
>just bought some Wolverine 1000 Miles
>they look fucking sick
stay jealous lads
>>10671047
Silly anon these fuccbois live on /fa/ they don't actually go outside, they dress for their mirrors usually
>>10670893
Man I've gotta find the post from a year ago about the same thing. I kek'd so hard, can you imagine these MFA dudes walking into their Red Wing stores where a bunch of hicks are buying work boots and they ask for heritage boots for "muh fashionz".
The images in my head are hilarious.
I don't really understand how RW has achieved such meme status, they only look like they belong on a fit when you go full heritage and the entire heritage style is fucking awful
That interaction probably went something like this:
>In view, a humble vaudevillian vemale, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fashion.
>This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the working populi, now vacant, vanished!
>As our paths cross, i seek to invest copious of my dearest bullion in your wonderful heritage leather footworks my fair maiden.
>Please allow me to allow you to speak. *Tips heritage denim jacket*
......
>Haahhahahahahhaahahahhahahahahhahahahhaha
>>10671347
I laughed tbqf
you have no fakin idea bout fashion... all you wear is stupid nike air athletic bullshit for normal occasions u look like still going to school or smthing with those on. disgusted every thread in here is about shitty sporty sneakers. Every thread in here is cringe af other one was about fakin black chelsea boots tryna look like yu gi oh.
>>10671545
>he owns fedora RW
ahahah how embarrassing
confirmed for fat fuck
>>10671234
See, those actually are meme shoes. At least RWs will last more than a year.
>>10671298
Standard RW work boots are priced well above what most working types would pay. Most workers buy the shit Walmart sells.
>>10670983
>gets btfo
>throws shade while crying in his chelseas or cps or whatever
irony
>>10671298
But it's okey to buy nike shoes made for running when u dont even run or do any athletic activity right? moron.
>>10671290
True
>>10671545
>look like still going to school or smthing
Lol this is 4chan. Most posters probably are teen school age kids.
lmao all the people mad over a post years ago
then again its true - most RW retailers mostly cater to work boots, hell even employment encourages veterans to apply
knowing the mean age of fa is around 20, im pretty sure most people who cherish their RWs have the cookiecutter outfit (pic) of raw muhcones denim and a chore coat - all while states away from the midwest and shopping at Uniqlo or some shit
i dont do any actualy physical "work" but I want my red wings to look dirty and beat up, so i walk out to my parking lot at night when no ones around and throw dirt on them and try to rub it in. someone saw me and started laughing . also, i had one girl tell me that my iron rangers look like "old man boots". i dont get where that comes from. I think they look pretty good.
>>10670893
>being on reddit enough to know what's popular there
>>10671675
just like the people wearing stans/cps or pretty much any chelseas all wear muh needsmoretaper black jeggings and a bomber or n-no g-guys it's n-not a peacoat it's a t-topcoat
>>10672166
I knew a guy like you in high school who used to purposefully rub his doc martens on the concrete to make it look like he'd been sleeping outside in them. He was a poser punk and everybody knew it. Don't fuck up your clothes just to put out a fake image man. It's obvious as hell and people won't respect your style.
>>10672166
just lol man
>>10671347
my fucking sides
I bought RWs and I don't have any regrets. Nobody spouts off memes in the real world. Think about it, would the average person associate these boots with pretentious shut-ins? No.
>>10670914
>typical Rick Owens fan
I like mine
I think they look pretty good
They're plain black boots
>>10671580
Wolverines last years you utter cretin
I agree, look at the neckbeard tryhard basement dwelling faggot wearing his shitty unfashionable reddit clothes that only dumb cücks that know zero about fashion would be caught dead in, topped by these Redwing heritage line chelseas that are literally reddit-tier trash that only neckbeard virgin redditors that aren't effay at all would wear
>>10672291
i have these too
nice boots
>>10672291
deez r nice
OP is correct. I have tried on rwh roughnecks and they sucked donkey dick. Not only did they not fit in double wide but they were like wearing particle board strapped to the shittiest untreated leather.
By the way most heritage styles are obsolete. Boots did not used to be a fashion statement. The roper boot killed these boots in the 1800's being more functional, tougher, more element proof, better fitting, easier to get on etc. From a practical standpoint pull ons are better in every single way.
So the only reason to get these boots is if you are a tryhard hipster faggot trying to impress everyone with your outdated Shit tier boots
>>10672370
bump with Red wing cringe
>>10672418
>pullovers
can I have your information so when the chelsea meme dies and everyone hates chelsea boots around 2017/18 I can viciously mock you about how much you love them
>>10671614
>thinking I own nikes and trying to call me a pleb
kek
>>10672291
These are my favourite RWs. Perfectly acceptable anon.
>>10672418
Can't tie you shoes like a normal human, fuccboi? Chelsea will die out in a year and everyone who have bought them are going to cringe hard looking back contemplating their $200.
>>10673239
this
The problem is the people wearing them.
I'm clearly a tradesman so i'm fine
>>10671675
I live in the Midwest and have a blue collar job, so is it fine for me to dress like that?
>>10672668
the welt and the sole are ugly as fuck
>>10672219
>or n-no g-guys it's n-not a peacoat it's a t-topcoat
kek, underrated post.

>>10671675
>the mean age of fa is around 20
I'm willing to bet it's three to five years younger, actually, given the inability to engage in any critical discussion.
>>10672418
I love how so many fuccbois on /fa/ are so up their own ass about their chosen aesthetic that they will do anything to justify it except say, "This is what I enjoy." Nigga, that's all the authority you need.
>>10673975
>implying /fa/ doesn't just hate welted shoes
I was going to get a pair of these to wear when it snows, are all redwings cringe or just the heritage shit
>>10671587
Not necessarily,since they're shit they wear out fast enough a lot end up going for better ones after a few pairs.Funnily enough when my father did it they lasted long enough he never needed another pair.
>>10673403
So far I've gotten away with it that way.
>>10670893
daily remimder that mommy didn´t give biddy RW to OP.
>>10674197
Don't fall for the meme. No Red Wings are "cringe" or "shit" except for the ones that can't be resoled.
Holy fuck the hostility in here is fuckin cray
You all have to see a therapist if you care this much about boots
>in b4 i own them
> i dont
>>10674314
>He bought from the Heritage collection
I own both IRs and CPs and GATs
what am I
>>10674324
A human, presumably.
>>10671580
funny, I've had my 1ks for five years and they're still great
actually they're my beaters at this point
srsly though just wear what you like
red wings are no more ridiculous than any other popular shoe like Qasas, CPs, or Geos
they all fit particular looks
>>10674137
Given how so much attention is spent on designer sneakers that no adult would wear, and the incessant meme spouting, I'd say you're right
>>10674000
>reading comprehension
the point being that all the people buying chelseas right now are poor teens who have to cop some $200 alternative to actually nice shoes
I own Red Wing heritage boots. I like them.
>>10674366
How dare you.
>>10671675
>the mean age of fa is around 20
haha no, no way it's over 16
at least half the visitors are just high schoolers who wanna learn how to dress better
>>10674366
Here's another neckbeard.
who /benchmade/ here?
>>10674411
now why would you tie them like that?
>>10672291
What model are those?
>>10671347
>copious of my dearest bullion
>Please allow me to allow you to speak.
hahaha, lmao
cop or not?
>>10674528
not
>>10674528
No no no
>>10673239
rw,heritage and americana died out in 2010 though. why are you still clinging on to it?
>>10670930
a fake sense of ruggedness
the only people ive seen wear them are asians and bearded assholes with quaffed hair.
they look fine but its the stigma associated with them that I dont like.
i totally understand why a rw employee would look down on a customer wanting to get a pair of ir's, they are used to dealing with construction workers not "fashionistas"
>>10670893
Redwing is hypercringe and tasteless.
>Be me
>2013/14
>LL Bean le meme leather boots
>Cuffed up raw jawns
>Black parka
>Blackwatch shirt
c r i n g e
>>10673975
why do you think they're ugly?
>>10675024
Who the fuck still speaks like this you underage fuck?
>>10672418
so i should get cowboy boots?
>>10672370
Those chelseas look good though w2c
>>10675024
What do you wear now? Are you onto the new hypetrain of all SLP everything? Or is it techwear? Obsessing over old Raf? "Normcore"?
You haven't changed, you just updated to the new meme.
>>10675051
fuck fuck fuck swear fuck fuck dum dum fuck
>>10675077
Nah I have changed. Pretty thankful for my MFA stage actually. I obsess over well-made stuff, and clean fits with subtle detail.
>>10671587
Some workers are smart enough to understand that spending a little more money can get you a product that will last far longer than the cheap shit and, in the long run, will save you money.
>>10674557

is it the faggy sole? or what?

>wants to buy WORK boots to NOT work in them
>can't afford them/gets mocked
>w-well R-RWs are f-for p-puh-p-plebs r-right guys...?
I'd be laughing at your dumbass too for attempting to buy a legit product without it's intended purpose in mind. I'll be over here working in my durable comfy af RW work boots, kiddo.
>>10675439
>it's intended purpose
No wonder you're a filthy redneck who dresses poorly and does construction work.
>>10675453

Delicious bitch tears are delicious.
>>10675439
>working in RW heritage
Nobody could possibly be this retarded
>some this mad about their RWs being called out
>has to stutter type like a fag
what a shitter
>>10674314
Its literally one person looking to rile people up and get attention
>>10675478
>Its literally one person
lmao, it is pretty well known that RWs are the fedora of boots.
>>10675489
nah mate, where I live everyone loves them
>>10675499
I heard rent is cheap in cucckville
i love it when bait threads get 100 replies
>>10675510
u sure got me buddy
>Tfw I copped Redwing boots two years ago because I read the /fa/ sticky.
Fuck you /fa/ for not updating that shit since 2012. Now I have too much feedback on grailed to sell them without getting embarrassed.
>>10675564
I copped 2 pairs 8 years ago. Still wear them and love them.
>>10675576
> Still wear them and love them.
LMAO
>>10675596
Wear them with pride my le classy friend! :-)
>>10675564
>>Tfw I copped Redwing boots two years ago because I read the /fa/ sticky.
It's a trap
>>10675629
Classy? They are not classy, absolutley, lol.
>>10674142
Exactly. You can feel all of the fucking insecurity in this thread.
Is caterpillar a meme? I've been thinking about getting a pair.
