new kicks: red wing 8881 olive mohave
i realize i have a red wing problem. they keep releasing new boots and i keep buying them. i end up returning most of them, but i think i’ve found a pair i’m going to hang on to for a while. these 8881s come in their signature roughout leather with a cushion crepe wedge sole and both leather and gold/tan laces . they’re built on the 23 last which means you need to size down if you plan on buying a pair. i’m going to treat them with a nubuck/suede waterproofer and then take them for a spin this weekend. nothing like breaking in another pair of red wing boots.
