      While I can’t wait to add a pair of Wesco engineer boots into the daily rotation, I still love my RW 8196. They’ve been beaten to hell since I bought them second hand off eBay in 2014, survived multiple trips, moves, and life events. A local cobbler gave them a proper clean up and resole and they are my go-to work boots. Complete with shoe laces I stole from a pair of Vans haha

          They are! I tried the Iron Ranger, but just didn’t love them. The briar oil slick color sold me on the 8196 and I’ve loved how they’ve aged. At this point, it’s like wearing a pair of slippers.

            ^ They don't sell these anymore? When I got my pair of Chukkas, I wanted to go for the Round Toe, but could not find them.

              I haven’t kept up with RW in a long time, but these do seem to be discontinued which is a bummer. A lot of their current offerings don’t really do anything for me.

              That said, I’d love to have the East Dust x RW pecos in a size 11

                Yeah, that's correct. The only two that still stand out from RW are the IR's and Moc Toe's. Everything else is not that interesting, while the other worthy models like the round toe is not available anymore.

                  After going with a WESCO engineer boot, I stumbled onto a pair of gently used Pecos that I picked up that’ll be designated work boots for a while. I’m curious to see how an E width feels vs D.

                  I think I’m set for boots now haha - says everyone before buying more

                    Looking at a pair of Pecos now. How do they compare to your other Red Wings sizewise? I wear a 9D in Iron Rangers and wondering if a 9D in Pecos would be the right size. I have average narrow feet, so not worried about width.

                      In my experience, I fit an 11D in everything from RW (8196, oxfords, Beckman, etc) I chose something a bit wider because I’m on my feet all day and a little extra room is never a bad thing and I really like how my Blundstones fit comfort wise.

                        So a quick follow up: I wanted a pair primarily for work so I went with the 4470, which comes with a steel toe (I manage a retail store stock room amongst other things). I’m glad I went with E vs D because otherwise I feel like it would’ve been a little snug in the toe box. Now, it’s time to use and abuse them until the Wesco boots arrive lol

                            Good afternoon, gave these beautiful shoes. Can you tell me what kind of shoe collection I have? Google images wont help). And what kind of skin is that? And I don’t know how to clean the dirt and stains on it.

                              Those are beat up as hell @chbronsonx! And they look wonderful. I agree that the price and quality that comes with it is damn near unbeatable. Plus, RWs look better with age and after bring super beat up. Have a spot in mind to have them resoled, etc.? I've been seeing ppl get theirs repaired and use a thicker leather midsole (is that what it's called?) like this:

                              I know you can get em resoled on Redwing Berlin website, so i guess maybe in every RW shop around you ?

                                      Had my Iron Ranger 8083 pimped by Ingo Keller the Schuhgott ( shoegod) Cologne/ Germany
                                      A super nice guy and his work is definitely outstanding 👍🤩, maybe some of you already know him !?
                                      My Iron Rangers got a thick leathermidsole and new nitrile soles cause I don’t like the new vibram soles.
                                      here are a few pictures…

                                            @Daniel San Those looks very nice!  Wondering if the midsole adds any additional comfort?  I’m looking to do something very similar to my 8083s because (like you) I’m not a fan of the Vibram mini-lug.
