The only thing Red Wings has kept up on for quality is their hand-stiched boots, and they made them much more expensive than they used to be. What used to last 10+ years before needing repair; now only lasts about a year and can't be repaired. It's sad, because the leather is still good on my boots, but the soles are completely worn out and almost bald.

Yeah, I only buy from the heritage lineup, even though it is more expensive, because I prefer 100% leather outings. Buying lightly used boots is another good way to save money. Never had to replace a sole either, the leather always gives out before the sole for me and it doesn't make much sense to pay $100 to resole a pair of boots with holes in the toes.
