They Were Great At First

I bought this item a little more than a year ago and for the amount of money I spent on it I expected it to last more than a year. When I initially got them, I loved them. They were comfortable. I thought they looked very nice, but they definitely did not hold up to the industry I work in. I am a professional exterminator and these boots shortly after receiving and using them daily for work, started allowing water to get through the leather, causing me to constantly have soaking wet, cold feet. They started falling apart, right where the toe of the boot meets the rest of the boot and actually cracked and large holes developed. These boots are not the test of time or apparently the pest control industry..

Nice Looking Boot

Heritage 8085 Pros: -Excellent construction, premium leather, and laces -Great looking boot Cons: -No insulation or midsole, and loud hard outsole -Not waterproof, leather does not breathe, after 2-3 years the leather picks up too many scratches -Break in period was a challenge -Expensive A great boot, though over time could not find any functional use for them

For Life And Lifestyle. Redwing Boots

I own four pairs of Iron Rangers. I rotate them out. In different finishes. My favorite is roughneck and amber harness, but I also have charcoal and suede. I love the moc toe and the steel shank. Substantial boots. Not work boots. I also own a pair of Redwing Hawthorns and British Chelseas. I have a problem.

I recently got two pairs of these boots, and every time I put them on, they take me straight back to my childhood. I remember when my mom/dad would buy me a new pair of shoes every couple of years—I’d go to bed and wake up with that sweet excitement, knowing I’d get to wear my new shoes. That same happiness and nostalgia come rushing back each time I lace these up. I can honestly say, oh God, I love these boots and the feeling they bring. Thank you, Red Wings, and thank you to everyone who put their hands and heart into making these.

Damaged Within 2 Months

Tongue is already getting eaten up by the laces/eyelets. Not a huge deal now but if it's getting this indented already I can't imagine this boot lasting 1 year. Havnt had my boots for long at all and paid full price for em. I purchased a pair of Moc Toes around the same time that are doing the same thing. I want to continue to support Red Wing but cannot do so with this kind of quality. Redwing, please help.
