Red Wing Shoes

[gakugeidg]

I'm looking to buy a pair of rough out Pecos.
I've been having a look at these:
8188- Pecos in sand Hawthorne Muleskinner Leather
http://redwing-berlin.de/artikeldetails/kategorie/shoes-engineer-pecos/artikel/8188-pecos.html

and
1188 - Pecos in beige Abilene Roughout Leather
http://www.b-74.de/Men/Categories/Shoes/Red-Wing-1188-Pecos-Beige.html

Is anyone familiar with these?
It seems that 1188 is a discontinued series.
I'm wondering whether the leather is different and if there are any other differences?

It's weird until recently I wasn't too fond of roughout leather boots but now I've really started to like them a lot.

Those look far, far better with the new sole Addic! Hope yours will look as good too! Got a link to that supplier?

I like the leather laces.  Ive thought about doing that since I got the chukka's as the stock laces always seem to need readjusting.  I know, nature of the beast with 3 eyelets or less, but still…

damn lad…these do look pretty dope and that pic almost has me sold on a pair of these...damn!
oh and mess around a bit more with that camera...great pic!

I dont intend to keep posting pics of the same shit, but I had to.  I copied Seul and added some leather laces.  IOriginally they were lighter, but I slathered them in Obenauf's and let them sit in the sun for a bit.  I really like the look and they stay tied!
