Is it true that old batches are better?

So I’ve been into a pair that my local store offers which is cheaper because it is a drop from 3.5 years ago. I’m not sure if this is a good deal because the idk if it’s good for the ridgeway rubber outsoles to be there this long without wearing.

I hear different stories that people complaining about recent drops with increased prices and at the same time a little drop in the quality aspect of things. Is it true that old batches were made with better materials and built quality?

I’ve owned Red Wings before, but I’ve never seen this happen on any of my other boots. These are my 9060s, and I’m seeing this wear on both the left and right sides. Is this eventually going to cut all the way through the leather?

gym rat and I got thick chest/back and wide shoulders. With this jacket in medium I feel slightly snugged at shoulders and chest when buttoned with just a tshirt but the sleeves and body already feel too long on me. Maybe I got shorter arms and long torso😂

Bought like 10 years ago and haven worn less than 10 times.

Mine pair got too distressed at right knee so I had sashiko reinforcement (4th picture) which has made it truly unique

It’s a pity that I powerlift too much and they no longer fit my thighs
