Fantastic Boots

I bought my pair of iron rangers around a year ago after being suggested to do so by a friend of mine who’s a professional cobbler. To sum it short, I couldn’t be more grateful for the suggestion, me pulling the trigger and buying a pair was the best choice I could’ve made, I wear mine near daily and I’ve found the (after break-in) comfort, look, and overall quality incredibly wonderful. I’ve come to love taking care of them, the leather treatment process has become something I can look forward to every so often. My appreciation of these boots has lead to me convincing both my partner as well as one of my friends to get a pair of redwings, and I just got another pair as a Christmas gift to myself, so I suppose the saying a “good product will sell itself” is applicable to these boots. In my books, well worth getting if you’re willing to make the commitment.

Looks Great But How Come No Ee Width In The Eu?

Customer from Sweden here. I always try finding shoes and clothes manufactured in Sweden, Germany or other EU countries but avoiding Asia. Not necessarily because it’s worse quality from Asia, usually it’s not, but because I want to support industries still not outsourcing what can still be locally manufactured even if it means paying a bit higher price. This time I wanted to try a US made shoe. I really like the shoe, but I can’t give a fair review before wearing them for a while, but I have one issue: it seems as if the EE width (at least for the black version) isn’t possible to find in the EU! I can find it on your US site, but when I switch to the EU version of the site, the width option goes away and all shoes are supposedly the D width only. I checked several resellers and it’s the same story everywhere: selecting the width is not an option. And I could really use the wider version. The shoes fit very well in length, the toe-box is reasonably roomy, but they are really (really!) tight in the middle. I don’t believe going up a size would help much. Am I right in that selecting width is a US only option for the black version? Other than that the shoes look great and I hope I will be able to break them in despite the narrow width.

Shouldn't Have Waited So Long!

I waited until I was pretty much done with the working part of my life before I splurged on my first pair. Now I'm busier and working harder than ever before and these Boots are definitely living up to the hype. They fit right and feel great without any significant break-in issues.

The Ranger Creed

I’ve waited 6 years to write this review . I fully understand the urge people have to write a review right after purchasing them but I waited . First I work as police officer for a Reigonal Special Tactics team soa lot of the time I’m in plain clothes . I wear these boots quite frequently several days a week below is what I’ve found . The break in period is not as bad as some make it out to be . Wear them and follow the maintenance recommendations and they will break in just fine . Durability. The durability on the iron ranger boot is very pleasing . I live in Chicago , brutally hot summers and cold winters . My iron rangers have stood up to everything Chicago streets can throw at them . They still look remarkably good despite their age and mileage . Comfort . The comfort on iron rangers is second to none . 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer . As a result I had a pretty intensive chemotherapy regimen . 5 days a week , 6-8 hours a day . They would then give me a week off and I’d repeat that cycle . All told I did 3oo hours of chemo and with the exception of an 18 day hospitalization they were on my feet for every session . Most patients wore slip ons but even those felt like cinder blocks to me . My iron rangers did not and I have no idea why but I am forever grateful that the boots made some of the hardest days of my life a little easier to get through . Value . The Iron Rangers offer a great value . I’ve had them 6 years and they have stood up to everything thrown their way I am pleased with my purchase . Mine ? Have been everywhere with me trips to Ireland , camping in Wisconsin , on the streets of Chicago . They’ve seen the birth of my children , the acquisition of a wonderful family pet , the inside of a chemo suite and so much more . Finally my father took care of me when I was sick . He is retired US Army . As a thank you I bought him his own pair .

Boots For Life

I seriously expect to wear these boots for the next thirty years.
