Not taken care of, but recently repaired some stitching and resoled for the second time.

I remember paying about $350 (CAD) in the winter of 2014, and how much it hurt to pay that at the time. However, I believe I'd have spent much more since then on replacements.

The cobbler said this is probably the last sole replacement, so we'll see how much longer they'll last.

One thing is for sure, I'll be picking up another pair of Red Wings to replace them when they do go.

Good boots are hard to beat in my work. I’m assuming you use mink oil to keep the leather conditioned.

No, I really didn't take care of these, but they did oil them when they got repaired.
