such a long thread . Bought my first RW back in 2008, those were 8 inch 877s. I was struck at once with their quality and appearance, and smell ... did not have such a boot before. Since they were half size too large I kept them anyway but ordered another sage mocs, 8139. Since then, I became sort of obsessed (not really but ) with boots, and RW in particular, probably as they are one of the best bang for buck heritage boots. So I bought but can not really wear them all... kind like with IR shirts . I think I am at around 15 pairs of RW atm, maybe more, having less than 10 pairs in rotation. Still wear the 8139 from 2008, resoled them once, and planing to send them in for another in a couple of days too. One of my favourite pairs still.
Of course, after years of only RW I tried some other brands but RW is really good for the money. I got mocs, Iron Rangers, Harvesters, Chuckas, some rare oxfords I found in Asia ( Bangkok and Singapore usually have the best editions ) etc. I have to say that I recently found that their quality control is not that good ... my last few pairs I ordered online all had some kind of defect, I even decided not to buy online ever again, but the closest RW shop is more than a thousand miles from where I live, in Amsterdam or Berlin, and last time I was there they had just a few pairs in my size and I had all of them. I am tempted by the all black black harness leather mocs, the new model ... so who knows.
