Brecon has a very different (and, IMO, better) look to it, though you can't quite tell from those photogs.
Chepstow last is blobby and stubby.
Brecon is on the 341, which is quite sleek (something like the Vass F or a less sleek EG 82). Even though it has the double sole and storm welt, it is quite a refined-looking shoe.

I really think they're cool. I kinda like 'em without the wax and cream as well. I'm curious to see how my brothers black ones will look.
