Red Wing engineer boots.

This 2268 is the classic of classics.

 

It appears that Red Wing does not currently manufacture engineer boots,

It remains difficult to obtain.

It really brings home the importance of choosing to have them repaired so you can keep wearing them, doesn’t it?

 

The tube section features a printed feather tag.

The tag bears the letters ‘PT91’.

 

And a feature found in models from this era is

One of the details that can be cited is

 

This is the tea core.

It has a lovely brown core and there is hardly any difference in the wear lines between the left and right sides,

That’s a really fine specimen, isn’t it?

 

The heel cup area and

 

The detail around the ankle is simply irresistible, isn’t it?

In an attempt to recreate these tea-coloured engineer boots,

About ten years ago, a model called the 9268 was released, but

Compared to the reissue model, the vintage brown core has a more natural appearance,

It makes a beautiful and stylish impression.

 

Now we come to the main point.

You brought these in because you were concerned about the wear on the soles.

 

In addition to areas where the sole pattern has worn away,

 

The topstitching has worn away in places.

 

The top piece is the same as the front section,

The pattern has worn away, hasn’t it?

 

If you look closely, in contrast to the worn areas on the top piece,

There are signs that it has been repaired using a repair compound.

As the sole is worn down all over this time,

We’ve decided to carry out a full resole.

 

Here is the finished result.

 

Vibram #700

The sole used was the Vibram #700.

This is the sole commonly used for replacing the soles of work boots.

 

Although the material used for the sole itself does not have that much texture,

A number of chevron-shaped patterns

It grips the tarmac firmly and boasts excellent grip.

 

Furthermore, as it offers excellent durability and cushioning,

You can wear them as much as you like without worrying about them wearing out.

 

The top piece also features a Vibram #700 heel, just like the front section.

A chevron pattern will be added here as well.

 

Between the welt and the outsole, there is

We have fitted a leather midsole, just as in the original design.

 

Between the outsole and the upper, there is

Although the original uses stacked plastic pieces,

As plastic can undergo hydrolysis and crack,

When we carry out a full sole replacement at our company, we adjust the layering of the leather.

By adopting this specification, there is no need to worry about hydrolysis,

You can wear them without any hesitation.

 

Furthermore, the shape of the heel has been designed to replicate the original

It features a pitched heel design to cinch in the waist.

 

On this occasion, we carried out a full resole on a pair of engineer’s boots.

The contrast between the black and brown of the sole

It matches the colour of the upper perfectly and really sets the tone.

I think it’s turned out absolutely beautifully, hasn’t it?

 

Sole repairs are essential if you want to keep your shoes for a long time.

Of course, there’s always the option of simply wearing them out, but

Shoes that you have looked after and worn for many years, so that they have moulded to the shape of your feet, are

It would be no exaggeration to say that it is truly one of a kind.

To ensure you can enjoy your own unique pair of shoes for as long as possible

It is essential to carry out the right repairs at the right time.

Please do give it some thought.
