Red Wing 2268 engineer boots evo

I've had these RW 2268 engineer boots for 10 months and they get the most wear out of all my boots and shoes, just because they're so damn great and comfy...
So i thought it would be nice to show some evo on them, as to how they're holding up.
Well, they're holding up great! I'm really impressed by them quality wise and fit wise.
After the initial pain, which was to be expected, they softened up and have now completely moulded to my feet and almost feel like slippers... just a tad heavier though.
The leather needs little care, i only polished them once with some black Alden wax at 4 months and that's it actually.
They just get better with wear, like a pair of jeans does.
The only initial let down i had was the fact that the heels are made out of a rubber and plastic combo, instead of some nice leather heels, but i'm planning on fixing that in future when these soles and heels have worn out.
Then i want to get them resoled with leather soles and slightly lower cuban style leather heels, in combination with Cat's Paws halfsoles and heels, just like my White's boots have.
And now some pictures!
the fit

brand new boots!

And this is how they look now after 10 months of wear, about 4 to 5 days a week, mostly home and office wear though... 


i love all the scratches and markings, it adds character






fluffy inside feels buttery soft
