BacktoBasics

if i may add, i own both RW and W1K and my thoughts on them:

RW IR
- for rough use - i can walk in the rain and puddle of water without care
- requires breaking in (a painful process)
- more casual and rugged

W1K (i own the addison wingtip)
- leather out sole, quite slippery and not really for outdoor
- no breaking in required, soft leather
- looks dressier

so really depends on the "look" that you are looking for. if you feel the above are too expensive, why not try clarks leather boots? handsome looking, durable and quite reasonably priced.

btw, i purchased the above during sales, so about at least 40% off. RW at nordstrom and W1K at eastdane.. based on luck and patience..
