Red Wing Shoes

I like the looks of those, @spitfiredealer.

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

[IH-GARY]

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!

8001 aka Ronald McDonald shoes

oro leather and for some odd reason not sold in the so you have to track them down from the European or Asian market

Nice shoes MM, I like those a lot.

[madmonday]

Thanks

Been wearing these 9874 black Klondike leather boots a lot

[Seul]

Bought for 30€ a couple of years back. Now has Wesco rawhide laces.

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

It’s me again

Lo boys

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.

@neph93 the Wesco 8" pull up rough out look nice boots, but I can't wear such high heeled boots. It's a personal preference as well as a practical thing. It's something that makes me favour the shape of the pecos. The heel and sole are lower. The higher heel reminds me too much of a cowboy boot, and I'm almost 6'3"

[neph93]

Those heels are understandably a jump for some. Giles wears them and he is quite long though… I'm 6' but I only have a 31" inseam so I love them. In fact before I started wearing them the 666 and 634 cut looked daft on me. A nice big heel changes that. Wesco do lowered heels so you can actually get whatever height you like.

a lowered heel you say? damn, that could be a game changer. I love the look of the Wesco other than that, and there's no argument from me that the quality would be exceptional. Because of my size/shape, most of my jeans have an 8.5 hem, and I always cuff my denim…hmm, got me thinking now  :-\

[mikebarhoot]

I wear a 11.5 US consistently across RWs. Except the Pecos. Because of my instep. I’d have to get a 13+. Just to get my foot in.  Love the look and would like some. But no go. For me.

[Appfaff]

I like the Pecos, but I would not buy another pair.

I’ll grab pics in the sunlight tomorrow
