how's the quality of the leather? i've been deciding between these and a pair of quoddys, the chromexcel on the latter is quite comfortable and breaks in beautifully.

Yes, I've been wearing them roughly 5 days a week since I got them in january.
Thinking about getting a more rounded toe boot in brown. I have a pair of wolverine ascot boots in black so I need a more casual black boot and a fancier brown. Can't decide if iron ranger in brown or wolverine 1000 mile atm.

Did you put some kind of treatment on them? Like SnoSeal or something similar?

I'd just damp a little mink oil on a rag and wipe them down every now and then when dusty or looking dry. They're the darker copper boot.

Hi, so i just purchased my first pairs of RW boots last week. I got the Beckman style in black (which look identical to the GT imo)
here's the link:
http://www.rwleatherboots.com/leathe...-beckman-black
and i have some question:
- if someone who own both the beckman and the GT could tell me the different between the twos?
- i'm planning on wearing these for everyday (including winter) how should i maintain it?
p.s. i was told RW fit bigger then my timberlands (earthkeeper), but when i purchase it i still went with the same size as my tims...is that normal?

the earthkeepers have a more roomy toe than the gts, i think its normal.
the gts are not for big foot like the earthk.

Any body get pains in their foot when wearing these boots? Its just happened all of a sudden with me and only with my left footOriginally Posted by kookydooky
That's called bite and usually with d ring boots you could try 2-1-3 lacing pattern to reduce it and I imagine it would work with the eyelets on your 875's as well. http://98.143.116.38/faq.asp#eight
