These are my favorite cowboy boots of all time. They’re the most practical. Rubber-soled (can be worn around water), no leather midsole (midsole never gets scruffed nor needs to be dyed, so always looks presentable), no unnecessary cowboy stitching on the vamp (I don’t like such stitching), and still has a cowboy heel. Very comfortable too
Yeah buddy I’ve been waiting for years for this video from you lol, man oh man I now I really miss my pair, best work boot I’ve ever had, maybe one day I’ll be able to get another pair, glad you finally got the Redwing Pecos experience‼️
@@davidgregg2778Exactly Nicks model makes no sense at all. They have a thousand designs, price them all now over $600 with 6 months to 12 months lead times... Then since all the PNW companies are lazy or just waiting to get bought out. They all refuse to standardize their sizing... They could do this in a weekend at the Stitchdown event... But many PNW companies have come and gone.. So just give it time...
Very versatile work boot! Hope a some point you get to try your true size in them. Gotta love the product SnowProof from Fiebings!! I have used it for years and it does a great job protecting boots from water, snow and salt. Way to work those muscles, JC 👍
I’ve got a pair of 11.5 B in never worn condition from 1996, little to snug for me. I’d be willing to part with them if you want to try the narrower pair.
I have an older pair. Toe was a bit more narrow with a toe bug. Inside is a hard leather sole. Great boots for certain work. Overall, a tough boot. They are the 9801.
I’ve been wearing red wings pecos for 30 years and in that time I have tried other brands. None can compare to the durability of redwing. Pacific north west boots excluded because I have never tried them. I would try the 11 1/2b before trying the 12 b though because I do wear a smaller size redwing than I do other boots
Damn! Finally this video! I have the same pair of boots and I love them. They look amazing after the extended test. I guess I have to use the same moisturizer as you did!
Gotta love those Night Crawlers! 😂 Looks nice on you JC. Heavy duty for sure. I tried an older pair in 14.5D which were a tad small for me. The outsole was kind of stiff for me. 👍
In the "bend of the vamp", they almost "folded" over, or "rolled" over...like shell cordovan. I like them. The only disappointment for me, would be the composite heel block. No worries however, I would just wear the soles out...then when recrafting them...have them fitted with a nice stacked leather heel block. Those boots would last 10 years or so...working in them every day. I have about 4 pair of Pecos, 2 of which have lasted me almost 25 years, but to be fair, I dont wear them everyday. Good boots though, back in 1999 when I bought them...they were only $99 a pair.
Good deal! And I like your strategy on switching to leather stack heels during a resole. It would certainly look even better! Cheers thanks for watching 🍻
Best cowboy boots ive ever ownwed durable, comfortable ,and they dont have multiple tacky colors that make them look stupid. Wore other brands before but the pecos are the best.
I'm old - actually boomer, hahah. I have a horse farm and it's bordered by a river. I love oiled boots - favorite pair is probably from Heritage Boots. You may want to try Huberd's Shoe Oil - I've used to for many years - since before you were born, I'm sure. It is terrific. I also use the shoe grease from them. I put the grease on the leather soles of my boots.
Times like this I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere. So many Red Wing models aren't available on their site, in-store only, and I don't live remotely rear to one. Oh well.
Man oh man, I worked for a buddy's sawmill for around 8 months while one of his guys was out with an injury. Chucking those logs around is no small feat, and really takes a toll on some boots. I might have to look into some of these, they held up real nice
How much heel slip do you have when new vs. after broken-in ? And do you have heel slip when walking uphill, such as working in ditches ? I've have several redwings over the last 25 yrs, but never the 1155.
@@Resistculturaldecline I have had 1105, 1132, and 1104 as well. These are lower heeled than the 1155. I generally have more ski when new than after broken-in. Never much though. Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch. For me, they always slip a little in the heel. If the forefoot flexes, the heel raises. So even walking uphill, there is a little slip. I always wear over-the-calf boot socks. Always.
My pair was very difficult to break in and I was at the point of sending them back to Red Wing. Then after about a month they started to feel good and I really like them now.
I’ve been waiting for this review forever 😂 Are you planning on getting a B width, though? I’d really like to see a review of one that’s your actual size to really get a good idea of how they work for you.
Thanks for the review. I grew up wearing the 1178 which had a much thinner heal and if you have talked to anyone who has worn those they will tell you it was amazingly comfortable. Curious if anyone has asked for a comparison to that boot. My main concern with this boot is the heal size. Redwing has told me they are not bringing back the 1178.
1178s were wonderful and had more of a walking/rope heel. I have 3 pairs in my closet and 2 new pairs in boxes. Doubt I’ll wear them out in my remaining years, but I really didn’t want to go without them. Sad that Redwing won’t make them anymore.
Tough to say since I could only get a 11.5C but I'd like this to be a little longer and narrower still so eventually I want a 12B. The best fitting Ariats I have are their Ropers at a 11.5B
Red wings are no longer the qaulity they once were. There is no lifetime warranty on them anymore. Now there is only a year warranty, if anything happens after a year your paying for shipping and whatever cost they decided they want to charge you. Also people don't realize it but they are not solely made in USA anymore most are made over seas. I have owned at least 11 red wings boots throughout my Life. I'm 56 years old and a contractor who has tried pretty much every brand out there . Red wings were good back in the 80s but not no more . They would last at least 5 years before the soles or stitching started to unravel. I just purchased a pair last year 2023 and paid $400 for them 2 days ago the stitches Ontop came apart, I took them into the red wings store in my area they said I barely made it in time before my 1 year warranty expired, I told them I thought they were lifetime warranty? They said not any more. They gave me a brand new pair because it was only 11 months and they couldn't be repaired. Back in the 80s they always could be repaired even if the stitching were to unravel. They said no they use machines for everything, therefore they are not hand made from scratch like they were in the 80s. She went on to say that they are a union company as well and they are having problems keeping people aboard to work because of our lazy new generation no one wants to work. They live with mommy and daddy till they are 40 years old so the qaulity of the manufacturing is just not there anymore. I have a pair of iron age that are now 7 years old and still going strong and 1/4 of the price that you pay for red wings. You see back in the 80s people cared about there jobs, they cared about the workmanship, in 2024 the only thing the new generation cared about is being on there cell phones and social media. She ( manager ) at this store is 65 years old and been working for red wings for over 30 years she said it's the new generation that has caused red wings qaulity to fall to the curb side,
You are right, I bought a pair of 1178, I kept it by mistake for 6 years and it came off the edges. I had one from the 90s and the quality was better than now.
@TonySop Stronger is a matter of opinion. I've never destroyed either. Composite is way worse for your feet, knees and back. They don't allow your weight to distribute evenly within the boot. The insole needs to collapse around and support the foot, not hold the weight up like rubber or Composite.
@@Noah-vm4ibthe insole in this boot is the same as the 1105, 1159 and 1178. Worn those, and this boot. Compared to others, my feet and knees and back do better with these over modern day insoles. Newer removable styles actually cause more problems

Great favorites! I love how simple they are too. Ready for anything!
Tecovas Banderas are better.
@@GoatzombieBubba how come?
I have owned my Pecos rubber sole for 18 years and I love them.
I’ve had my 1155s for years and they are tanks !! Any work outside and those are my go to boots !
That's what I'm talking about!
Yeah buddy I’ve been waiting for years for this video from you lol, man oh man I now I really miss my pair, best work boot I’ve ever had, maybe one day I’ll be able to get another pair, glad you finally got the Redwing Pecos experience‼️
Love the oiled leather look and the color. May have to try a pair.
Damn good looking work boot! Always had good luck with redwing usa made stuff
My first real boot right there…..
Epic first boot
You should review whites or nicks packers or pull on boots
Yes ! They are expensive though.

Thanks but I'd want to try the 12B just so the boot is a little longer too. It'd be cool to see what's changed in construction over that time though.

I just bought a used pair for $30. They work great for motorcycles

have this same boot, a solid simple roper. cant figure out why they dont offer more leathers like they used to in this.
Just got two pairs of these new from a local shoe store for $100 each

Pecos usually run true to size. I’m a 14C and wear a 14B (because of my low instep, I’d wear a 14C otherwise.). Most of the work line is true to size.
Thanks for this! I was feeling that was the case
Even though they run a little bigger in size after the break in I’ll insert an insole Which makes them more comfortable
Nice strategy. What's your go to insole for that?
I don’t like that the heal caps are proprietary. That would keep me from buying them. Double h ice soles are still my choice.
That's fair. There's a lot of heel cap there to try to replace
Can you do a review on the Double H Dylan steel toe. It's a R toe that comes in b width. Preciate the videos and your honest reviews!
Best cowboy boots ive ever ownwed durable, comfortable ,and they dont have multiple tacky colors that make them look stupid. Wore other brands before but the pecos are the best.

Great boots
You should try nicks custom, handmade boots, they make custom Pall on cowboy work boots
Been wearing 1155 since 1991. Excellent basic workboot. They make B widths (I wear 9B). Solid option. You do have to break them in for sure.

That's typical of Red Wings. They take a _long_ time to break jn
I know your pain

Don’t understand why no one finishes the edges of the leather cut-out parts prior to stitching together into a boot.
you should do a review of grease point workwear. Dunno if they'll fit for boots maybe
Awesome review I definitely prefer the pecos super sole I don’t ride horses so boots for me are for property everyday wear
Did you have to get a full size down or half a size for them to fit right or did you stay true to size ?
My problem is my feet are
Wide eee one time I went to see a boot maker and he recommended me to wear 2 pizzas on my feet lol
Might make 'em my next work boot after I'm done with my Dan Post's.
