Thanks for that review Nick. Id like to see a review on Chinese boot makers too, there seem to be a lot of redwing copies on the net. I got a pair of six inch black moc toe boots with a white wedge sole for $100AUD the sole is really cheaply made , i just bought them to see what they were like, and they make a reasonable substitute for my black and white Cons, and the leather is pretty well constructed with no defects, i think I'll probably havem a couple of years maybe , ive got 2 pair of redwings that will probably see me out i reckon.

Is the Norwegian Welt stitched stitched on the top ? The reason I’m asking is because on the Redwings 1907’s the top stitching on the Norwegian Welt is just for looks it’s a not actually stitched on the top. I personally like a Storm Welt better, but I do like both. Thx 👍🏼

So the leather is probably Water Buffalo. I have a German Airforce Leather Jacket made from Water Buffalo and it is almost as soft to the touch as Lamb Skin or Deer (chrome tanned) but as tough as horse or goat hide. Why do hipsters like Roofer Boots? Just asking. LOL! They make them big so the Westerner won't complain they made them too small like most clothes from overseas.
