No matter where life takes you, it’s always a good idea to explore that journey in a good pair of boots. Michael Soo from Philadelphia, PA knew that eight years ago when he picked up these Red Wing Shoes No. 4183‘s, and hasn’t looked back since.

The difference in color from the top half of the boot where the pant legs cover versus the bottom half, always exposed to the elements, is remarkable and give the boots great character. Pretty patina is achieved with a lot of wear and a little care, and when Michael is out of the biochemistry classroom he makes sure to give these babies a wash and oil every once in a while to ensure that they will last another eight years.
