Red Wing #875 and #877






I pulled the trigger on some Red Wing #877 I found on ebay. I didn't need another pair of Red Wing boots (this will be my 4th pair... 2 pecos #1187 and 1 pair of Red Wing #875), but I couldn't resist the deal. They were easily $75-$100 cheaper than store bought 877s, they were never worn, they were in my size, and there was free shipping. Yes, please! I am digging how heritage/heirloom products are popular right now. The idea of buying a pair of boots that will last for the rest of your life is a foreign topic to many people. But, since I have a hard time throwing anything away... even when I should, buying quality, American goods that last forever is right up my alley.

P.S. I have seen a few pictures of girls in Red Wing boots (engineer and #875s) and it's an amazing thing... if I could only find a lady that wore Red Wings! New advertising slogan anyone?
