Red Wing boots were the second worst pair of footwear I've owned. They take forever to break in, and mine had soles that wouldn't stay attached. Three times I had to take them to the place where I purchased them to get them repaired, which cost a little over one third what I bought them for each time back. All this is coupled with the fact that the cobblers were always very defensive, and ill mannered when I'd bring my boots back for service. On the third time, upon getting in my truck to leave, I recklessly threw the boots into the bed of the vehicle amongst some parts, and misc. debris while two entering patrons of the shop watched in surprise to my show of dissatisfaction.

I made sure I was wearing the new pair of Wolverines I'd just bought for half the price of those Red Wings when I came in to pick up my old boots.
