      I’ve been waiting for them to drop a new leather and thought I’d be more excited about this:

        @WhiskeySandwich what are your thoughts on it? Tbh seems kind of like a slight modification of previous colors. Also I've found to steer away from the muleskinner/suede type of boot as they'd be tougher to keep clean after work.

          @catdad1 the color looks good but I’ve become less attracted to leathers that are heavily colored as they don’t patina the way I prefer. The brown looks great though and I’m sure a worn pair would look good still, just probably darker than I like…

          I too was not about some roughout for the same reasons. That and waterproofness. But I got a pair of Hawthorne Muleskinner Rovers and absolutely love them. I’m not big on cleaning my boots, so I hit it with some mink oil and brushed the hell out of them early. The patina on those is gnarly and when oiled, waterproofing is really not much different than leather.

          Roughout just doesn’t dress up as nice imo. So I think rough-in / roughout biggest deciding factor is style. Both kick ass. I’d prob try a pair of the chocolate if I didn’t already have so many pairs lol

            Rovers were super dry from sitting for 4 years. Fresh grease.

              Just picked up these 8078 to replace my 12 year old trusty 8111. The Olive color is amazing!

              Finally RW offering some nice options not only on the Moc Toe… This is the right direction.

              Let the break-in begin….

                As an alternative to my 3322s, I recently acquired 3321 Weekender in Hawthorne Muleskinner. They're already 10 years old and they where hardly worn since then. I plan to change that.

                  A couple months ago I had some Roughnecks in EE, but they were too narrow. Someone who knows Redwing pretty well suggested that I try the 1907 in EE because it was likely to be wider. Does anyone have any info on whether or not this would be worth a shot? Or if there are any other heritage models that seem to be wider than the typical EE (I wear a 3E usually, but could stretch something that's close enough).

                    I've taken a similar approach, only in reverse. I have 1907s in ee width, and they're wide enough for my foot and very comfortable. Then I bought 877s, same size, same width. They definitely run significantly narrower, possibly too narrow for me in the long run, but I can't say for sure until I've broken them in properly.

                    If you want to play it safe, go for the 1907.

                      @indigo_fades My 1907 D moc's are slightly wider than my 875 EE. Both in a UK 8.5 size

                                I grabbed the 8168. I wanted the 8060 but i just wish the heel had a bit more height to it.

                                    @Dmart yea. It’s a Japan exclusive but snake oil provisions is receiving them in the US. I sent them an email to pre order them. Seems like their stock will be small. They only had 1 size US 10

                                        Currently wearing a pair of 2950’s I scored from eBay a while back. They were nearly new when I bought them, but that was many miles ago. I love the CRT leather and the round toe makes a nice change too.
