Red Wing Shoe Store, London.
Having a wonder around Soho in London wasn't really something I had planned until I saw Karlmond's Carnaby Street Shopping Guide. Inevitable I knew I'd walk down the iconic street at some point but I imagined it would only to be cutting through to Brewer Street (will posted about that soon). I'd seen online that Red Wing had recently opened their first UK store and ever since had been on my mental do-to list to visit the store, have a nose and of course try on a couple of pairs.
After stopping off at Ben Sherman, Filson, Happy Socks and Levi's Vintage Clothing I headed down to Red Wing Shoe Store on Newburgh St, located on the corner of Ganton St. The superbly dressed shopkeeper let me snap away and also offered me some advice for when I was ready to purchase me first pair. Note the small workshop display located at the back of the store, filled with archive photos, tools and old boots. A really nice touch, which shares the company's rich history. As well as footwear they stocked caps, shoe care, Field Notes Drink Local notebooks and their brand new range of leather belt.
You can find the store just off Carnaby Street at - Red Wing Shoe Store, 17 Newburgh Street, W1F 7RW.

ReplyDeletevery cool shop, I haven't been down Carnaby Street for years as it got a bit touristy for me, maybe it's time for another shot at it. In answer to your question, i'm finding e bay ok at the moment, as long as I just list everything buy it now I just can't be bothered with auctions any more!

Red Wings are on my shoe bucket list. :) Timeless!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos and the shop is just down right beautiful. Love the outside/building and the wood shelving along with that history shoe display. Did you happen to buy your pair there or had you already purchase them before hand? Also are the prices there marked up a lot since they have to import the shoes over there?
