      @neph93:

      In theory, properly treated leather plus a good welt will be pretty effective at keeping water out. In practice the wear and tear of walking around in a boot over long periods of time, plus the action of heating and cooling which can cause changes in the leather and glue used will eventually open up small gaps. Melting snow will find those gaps.

      The RW’s are pretty poor in very wet weather conditions tbh.

      yepp, that's logic… but as i refused to wear anything else but sneakers and trainers till i was 32 i'm pretty stoked since 3 years or so how warm and dry and safe a foot can be in winter, even in red wings haha

      When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn’t like me can kiss my ass.

                    Those are great. I have the JCrew version from 2011
                    And they are outstanding boots.

                    I had them resolved with the Vibram Christy and they are beyond comfy.

                    Nice pick up

                      Does anyone know which RW's these are? …and where I can snag a pair!

                        @IH-GARY Looks like a 8166 Round Toe Boot customised with a Vibram 2021

                          Thanks for the info @Steffen - I think you are right. I searched the 2021 Vibram sole on line and came across these Viberg beauties:

                          I can see this sole on a pair of 8166 looking pretty close to the boots in the Iron Heart store.
                          That said I may now be heading towards my first Viberg purchase!

                                    I like their leather lining. RW has been producing the chukkas without it for years. Nice score.

                                        I already own a pair of RW engineer boots (black), iron ranger (russet), and logger (black), and now quite fancy a pair of rough out Pecos.

                                        Any views on these? I've toyed with the idea of Wesco, Viber, Lofgren, or Whites, but I just can't justify the almost treble price tag. RW have always seen me right, and the guys in the London store are super nice, so I don't mind splurging my cash there.

                                        So, views on those Pecos?

                                          Treble the price tag, treble the quality though.

                                          The Peco boots I’ve seen are roughly finished compared to other RW builds I’ve come across. I’m thinking the straps and midsoles specifically.
