Many consider Red Wings an entry level brand. It probably is. But it was perfect for me.

For my first Thunderdome I wanted to go with the classics, and one that I could buy in store in France to avoid any missizing. Red Wing meets both criterias. The choice of the Blacksmith was that of the Briar Oil Slick leather and its reddish undertones that had me captivated.

How did you determine your size?

Staff at Barnabé was extremely helpful and keen to pull out as many pair as needed from storage.
