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.

My reply(Darren)-
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 !!

@madmonday:

fashion advice?  hahahahaha

i saw how it went with the leather & gracelessly exit stage left, hahahaha

i missed the post with the heavy 666s

All in good fun my friend!

@madmonday:

Nice boots, now we got to get you into some jeans

I'm more then satisfied with my 666UHR and Levi's LVC 501zxx… I'll be adding more iron hearts jeans , but my old beater Levi's are quite awesome too.. If you have anymore fashion advice I'd luv to hear it?!

@Dylansboss#2:

Just glad you are stoked on them. They are the Burgundy Domain, and they are beautiful. We were the first to request as well as have the domain made for us from the tannery, I have heard there are other boot makers out there that are looking to carry it ….:)

What are the benefits or the "Domain" leather? (It's qualities and the proper care, I think I just read, maybe your suggestion, that this leather performs best with "leather WAX"? Thanks so much in advance!

You gentlemen were correct on the color, I can't understand why a Wesco retailer would get the color wrong? Nevertheless the color and boots are incredible..

@Dylansboss#2:

Hi Darren,

The leather on your boots is Burgundy Domain. I am the Sales Manager for Wesco, we don't offer a cordovan burgundy domain. It's a great leather and ages very well.

Hope that clears it up:)!

Cheers,

CW

Thanks for clearing it up my friend. For whatever reason the 4 or 5 pairs of Wesco boots they are selling are all in what they are calling " Codovan Domain" leather?! Burgandy/cordovan domain makes no difference @ all to me. I bought them because of Wesco's reputation and they are(in my humble opinion) some of the most badass engineers I've ever seen. I'll let y'all know how I feel about them today, just got notice they are on the truck to be dropped off today!

@DarrenH:

Here's just another view.. The retailer in the US where the boots were purchased from says it is cordovan domain leather that is custom made for their shop only? So I'm looking forward to what that shoe box says
The debate rages on!! Lol
