Blown Out Redwing Boots :: Part I

Do you see the blown out sole?
Just upped and blowed out.

I'm pleased to introduce you to my boots. They are Redwing Boots, purchased from the home store in Redwing, Minnesota.

These babies are ten years old and I love them. When you live in the upper midwest, fashionistas like me wear these things for a good five-six months of the year. I believe these boots have taken on the shape of my feet.

So last December, right before I was about to take off to California, my right boot blew out. The rubber just fell out one Saturday afternoon while I watched Aidan play basketball.

My babies on their better side.

Redwing Boots are patriotic boots.

Made in the U.S.A. No outsourcing. And to make things even better, the company is worker owned. No zillionaire CEO, but everyone shares the profits.

Dang, I should invoice Redwing for a marketing fee, but really all I want are my boots back.

They say that Redwing will replace the soles free of charge. Maybe, maybe not. But guess what, there's a Redwing outlet just a few miles from here so I'll give it a whirl. If I'm successful, you'll be the first to know, my dear blogger friends. I know you'll be waiting for this news and I promise not to let you down, friends. Stay tuned.

Thanks for coming over!

With love, T
