bought a pair of 506 red wing super sole boots in 10/2024 by 9/2026 the soles had completely come apart the Red Wing store just said that's to bad . will try a different brand next time

Very poor customer service, I went to purchase a couple pair of boots on Palm Bay rd just off hwy i95. Michael came out took a look at me and said I don’t play games I said you need to chill out he said I need to finish my lunch and walked to the back. He sent his associate Hannah she didn’t apologize for Michael, just proceeded to take my boot sizes I’m giving a low rating because it felt like I didn’t belong there a very cold experience

Bought boots that were made for to long date in boots 6 or 7 years old wore very little soles came off In my opinion never buy a red wing super sole if has been made over a year

I bough the classic chelsea amber harness about 3 weeks ago. The elastic on each boot started to fall apart after less than 2 weeks. The top of the elastic seems to have broken and lost some if the elasticity. This happened on each boot. I bought Red Wings because of the reputation for quality and so I'm really disapointed. I like the look and overall fit. I also emailed Red Wing about 2 weeks ago and no answer. I would be hard to recommend these in these conditions.

I spent $400+ at a red wing store, about 2 years ago on boots, footbeds, and socks. I splurged. I started a job at a lumber yard. I believe it was march 22 at the time of purchase. I got them for work and hiking, the boots made it through the rest of that winter, I live in grand county Colorado and the winters are long. The boots were wam and I was impressed with the water/snow resistance, and the traction. They are heavy for sure, 4.5 lbs each. Things started to go south When I noticed the leather wore down quickly around the steel toes, I think it’s a flaw in the manufacturing. Then as the year progressed, even with regular mink oil and cleaning the finish, not counting the torn and scraped toes began showing signs of wear. The second winter arrived and long story short, the soles detached on both shoes and began to leak water as the rubber cover across the toe seem tore away.. I fixed one boot 2x and the other once using gorilla glue and clamps. They didn’t make it through the 2nd winter; with broken eyelets, torn toes, and separated soles, before I went cheap with Amazon boots. I remember the sales guy said the have a lifetime repair warranty so I tossed them into a closet and went back to work figuring I’d do it later. Later finally came this past September of 24 when I drove 180 miles to the nearest store where they told me the only guarantee the stitching and resoles would cost $130, and “tough toes”, a shiny epoxy coating to protect their poorly designed toes, would cost $40 a piece. So let’s see, 130+80 =210. $210 to get my two year old $400 boots, back into service. What a spit in the face insult. I called the corporate offices and left an irate voice message. The on thing the red wings were, was they were warm. I decided that they would be better than cheap Amazon boots in the cold. My solution was to use even more gorilla glue and better clamping, and I used KG’s Boot Guard on the toes. The boots are ugly as hell now, but as the foreman of a large expanding lumber yard, I’m hoping to at least keep my feet warm this winter. As promised in my voicemail, I would tell everyone I can reach what a waste of money red wings are. For the $210 needed just to repair them, you could get thorogoods.

I love my Red Wings. When I bought them free stitching and soles repaired locally. If we need new soles I have to send them to Northern B.C. Takes eight weeks to get them back. Stores don't have stitching machines any more. There are three cobblers in the lower mainland. I got new soles at Pete's shoe repair in Surrey. Won't buy another pair unless it changes

The pair of redwing boots I wear for work have completely fallen apart and redwing wouldn't stand behind them I have worn redwing boots all my life and never had a pair that had the soles to come apart like the pair I own. I am truly disappointed that redwing would not stand behind a product that has been around for years. I have never seen a par of soles come apart so extreme that,they cannot be repaired. Shame on you redwing!!!
