That burgundy is beautiful
Not trying to start a big argument, but how doe Wesco stack up to Red Wings? Curious if there are huge differences.

I like Red Wing and have worn them for work for many years. Red Wing is Triple A, Wesco is the Show.
There's simply no comparison. Fit,leather, build, the best boots I own. Seeing is believing. -
When I go right, I had / have ca. 15 pairs of Red Wings in my life.
Very smart and solid shoes - out of question.But Vibergs or Wesco's are a complete other level in my eyes … not only based on the price.
The material, the craftsmanship, the look, the fit!, ... everything!!
-
Not trying to start a big argument, but my view is this. We all spend an inordinate amount of time and money choosing what we think are the perfect clothes for us, we like to look and feel good and quaility-wise stand out from the crowd, then we put on a pair of shoes that just about ever other bugger is wearing. Makes no sense to me…..
-
I can't compare with Viberg But agree with you- the roughout FP's are the shit!
-
I have a few Vibergs on different last's and the Wesco FP. I love them all in their own way, but as far as comfort goes, the FP is a clear standout and my go to boot.

Let me start off by saying I am a HUGE Red Wing Heritage boots fan! I thought they were the pinnacle of hand made in the USA boot available. After viewing blogs like this one and reading reviews online, I decided to purchase a pair of Wesco "Custom Boss" vintage engineer style boots. After viewing some of the photos u gentlemen have posted I now "needed not just wanted a pair"LOL! From my vantage point in the Wescos vs Red Wing debate, in my opinion the Wescos is a more substantial/well made product. Both companies do put out some amazing footwear and I will not hesitate to purchase another pair of Red Wing Heritages or West Coast Shoe Companies,both makers are that good…but my next custom ordered boot will be a pair of Wescos (not "WHITE's, not "Danners", not "Wolverines" or even "Vibergs")so that says something about who in my opinion makes the best hand made boots in the good ol US of A !! -
I got a wide foot- I wear 8EE in White's SD, RW Iron Ranger, Whites Nomads. I had a pair of 8EE Boss that were a little too tight (same thing with the Whites). Do you think the 8E would fit? Is there returns on shoes in case they dont? I really want these beasts… @Giles
-
I think you need to get a pair of 8EE made. No upcharge, just 14 week wait:
-
possible to get it made up with all eyes instead of eyes and speedhooks and the vibram mini lug for a little more traction?
