                I replaced pimped the original laces with brown/black Red Wing laces.
                The yellow laces are too long and a bit too loud for my taste .. and the leather laces are too bulky for the speed hooks - but that's my taste / opinion  🙂

                        Lovely boots! But the laces kinda ruin it for me. I'd use black leather, even though nylon are more practical..

                          Yeah  :-\  … but I have black nylon laces in my burgundy RW Beckmans ... I need some contrasts in my boot collection.

                            Throwing a quick question out there as I have been looking for a Burgundy boot to add to the collection,…........................how does colour of the Burgundy leather on the Wesco boot compare to Chromexcel 8?

                            From looking at a few internet pictures of the leathers it looks like the Chromoexcel 8 is more on the brown side of the burgundy spectrum?

                            Any feedback or comparison photos if available would be appreciated.

                            There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                              FP1's - now with dark brown waxed laces (can't remember the brand of them)
                              … very comfortable and smart

                                I can't detect a big color difference, between the burgundy Wesco leather and the Chromexcel 8 leather of the Viberg Service boots (for example) … the Chromexcel 8 is maybe slightly darker ..... but my eyes are not the youngest.  🙂

                                    @Finkster Thanks for the reference photo.

                                    I have just picked up a pair Chromoexcel 8, service boots from Danny at Rivet N Hide.

                                    Footwear choices now consolidated to 4 x pairs:, 1 x Black, 1 x Brown, 1 x Burgundy, 1 x light Grey.  Should now be a choice for all occasions.  Confident all pairs will get used. My footwear collection was getting out of hand.

                                    Hopefully I can move the two pairs of Vibergs I was not using on to a new owner.

                                    There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                      I don't agree with all the opinions of my girlfriends  😉 …
                                      but, fact is - you can never have enough shoes & garments!

                                        That burgundy is beautiful

                                        Not trying to start a big argument, but how doe Wesco stack up to Red Wings? Curious if there are huge differences.

                                          I like Red Wing and have worn them for work for many years. Red Wing is Triple A, Wesco is the Show.
                                          There's simply no comparison. Fit,leather, build, the best boots I own. Seeing is believing.

                                          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                          Well, I have others.
