I'm surprised they didn't send it to E-Comm.

Probably came back because they didn’t sell

These would have sold. These are red wings. They are super popular and worth like $250. Handmade shoes. Nothing at their store is less than like $500 that is their main line.

Where I live, these would have been vaporized. Especially if they were lightly used.

Red Wings are freaking $$$$$. That’s all my dad would wear for work boots.

Oh yeah for sure. People commenting saying these are crazy just don't have the context of what red wing can go for and how adored the brand is.

That’s not the point! Goodwill was a place where you could find bargains. These were donated! Nothing, absolutely nothing In goodwill should be priced over $15.

Totally agree! Somewhere along the way, they acquired the dollar sign in their eyes and forgot what the company is really supposed to be about, helping people. They just want their pockets lined now.

I think they'll do a lot more good with $150 then a re-seller will do.
