Red Wing on 114 in Peabody, no guns on premises

[jhagberg88]

I know the whole concealed is concealed mantra we use here but if you’re shopping for boots I’d advise taking your business elsewhere.

You know this how? Why is it relevant? And why should we take our business elsewhere?

I'd guess they have a "no guns" sign posted on the door. If they do, I'd shop elsewhere.

 

[JoseyWales]

Sounds like they are anti-civil rights.

What a horrible place. Bunch of bigots. They should accept civil rights and join us in the 21st century.

 

[greencobra]

red wing, boycott, check!

 

[drgrant]

how big is the sign?

 

[PL-52]

For the money, their boots aren't worth it anyway. Not like 20 years ago.

 

[AHM]

This thread title is totally misleading -
I expected to read how they have run out of guns
and they need NES to bring them some more.

P. S. Did they have a sign written in English,
or are they anti-pistol...

...or are they anti-revolver...

I thought this was about "Buffalo" chicken wings.

Bellville boots are made in the USA and work just fine for me.

 

[looser38]

So much for Proudly "Made In America" . Well only a couple of their boots are still MIA. F**k em!!!

 

[Rob Boudrie]

This reminds me of a movie where Ghandi is in the first class section of the train, and an official tells him "there are no Indians in first class".

He replies "I am an Indian, and I am here in first class, so your statement is wrong".

I assumed someone had PMS.

Way too much money for boots. I'm perfectly happy with Timberland Pros for the money.

While not made in the USA, my Timberland Pros have been great - comfortable, durable, and only cost about a hundred bucks.

For more "every day" boots I just got Danners over similar Timberlands.

Sounds good to me! Thier boots f***in suck anyway! 20 years in the Construction business and I would rather wear my old issued jungle boots than that over priced shit. As Danny Vermin from the movie Johnny Dangerously would say...”I bought a pair of those once......ONCE!”

Two promotions back, I was a technician working with acid daily. I would usually get about 7-8 months out of a pair of boots. Once I discovered Timberland Pros, I easily got a year out of them, and only replaced them because I got into a schedule of buying a pair of boots through work in the fall, using them for personal wear through the winter, then tossing my old ones in the spring.

 

[Glockster30]

FWIW, the store is actually located in Danvers, not Peabody. And screw any gun prohibited signs.

Sounds like they are begging to get robbed.

 

[Fixxah]

I judge my boots on how long the laces last. Danner for the win.

 

[Hikes]

So I guess we are anti-Red Wing now that one of their dealers has a no gun sign. Got it.

 

[Zappa]

I'd ignore that sign because there's no such thing as a left-handed #686.
May as well be a sign that says no saber tooth tigers allowed, because there aren't any.

 

[slap shot]

Phew, you nearly give me a heart attack. As long as it’s not the red wing in Walpole.

Listened to so many guys masturbating furiously over Red Wings over the years but I never really had the money to drop on them. Finally gave in maybe 8-9 years ago. They fell to pieces like any cheapo boot does. It was a one and done for me. Nowhere near worth the money.

Once again I cant participate in a boycott because Ive already turned my back on them, lol.

eta- My last two pairs have been Timberland Pros. Both are still going strong.

 

[MGnoob]

My only issue with my current timberlands are they are so heavy...
But with steel toe and steel bottems(shanks?).. it is to be expected.
Im not even sure if they still make them like the ones i have.

Its like you have a tank on each foot.

 

[AHM]

I'd ignore that sign because there's no such thing as a left-handed #6.

Good catch.

Spoiler: Never say never

Make sure to go in, and move everything around. Put boots in the wrong boxes, leave an upper decker, and leave the place looking like an antifa hobo camp.

Fried Clams!

Red wing the only store that doesn't want to sell you their product. I went in for my 5 year work boot overhaul. I spend 600 on two pairs of wellingtons whilst the other 2 get resoled or tossed. Last spring went to the Nashua store to order my usual 2. Had to fight to get my foot measured. Then got told I didn't want the same style I've always worn. Had to get a manager who tried to talk me out of them. She hemmed an hawed even when I paid the bill before the boots arrived. I'm surprised they are still in business.

 

[Demoman]

I used to only buy redwings I would buy 2 pair a year. About 6 years ago when they went off shore for there flat sole iron worker boots they only lasted a few weeks. Went to the store when In middlton they exchanged them got about a month out of that set. Then they refused too do anything about there 1 year warranty said I was to hard on there boots and refused to do business with me anymore been getting a year out of every other boot sense. Boycott is on
