        @Shoreman:

        For the record, Seul, that's the model I purchased. It's near impossible to buy a pair out of the box that looks that way. They almost always come with some form of imperfection which, I find, adds to the character.

        I have found this to be the case as well. I usually have my RW shop order a few pair of each boots that I want, and then I keep the pair that laces up the best. Frequently, it seems the boots might be pulled over the last a bit crooked or something. This does add to the "handmade" aspect of the boots but I only find it on the RW Heritage line of boots and I don't find it as much on the regular line of boots. This leads me to believe that this "handmade"-ness is designed into the construction process.

        I have been wearing the 595's most of late - I have two pair of them. I just feel kind of claustrophobic when I wear the 877s. Weird. Never used to feel that way but lately I prefer the lower cut, lighter weight of the chukka.

        Can anyone comment on the quality of the RW Heritage chukkas versus the 595? I don't quite understand why the Heritage chukkas cost $100 more.

        I suffer from attention surplus disorder.

          I asked my mate, a Swedish mailman, about his experiences with the RW chukkas I posted earlier, and he wasn't crazy about 'm… Uncomfortable insole, and inside got wet even walking into wet grass…  :-\

                            More like a fashion statement of some sorts, but I couldn't help myself - love the sole, the comfort and the colour!

                                I was looking at the Redwing Logger Boots 4585 Briar Oil Slick boots on UK sites and these guys have UK size 6&7 reduced to £164. No affiliation, just thought people might be interested. Well, small people…

                                  think i'll go with a nice vibram sole to match the season:

                                      Part of the charm, really. Not something you'd wear on a miserable day anyhow isn't it?..

                                            Very nice finn.. I have the similar pair, but I destroyed the crepe sole in about 6 months of daily wear..

                                            I'm going to bring them for resole this afternoon, and should be going with the vibram commando soles.

                                            What u think guys?
