Why We Like The Iron Ranger 6in Boot
The Iron Ranger Boots have been protecting the feet of miners for more than a century, so we feel good about them protecting ours, too. Oil-tanned leather comprises the upper for added protection, while the leather insole conforms to our foot's natural shape to become more comfortable over time. A steel shank increases both stability and support for long stretches on our feet, and Vibram's 430 mini-lug sole won't crack and lose durability after a few years like all-rubber soles sometimes do.

Built to last… the best boot hands down!
My first pair of Iron Rangers lasted 14 years!! Just bought the 8085, what a great looking boot. As for the breaking in period, no issues. Been wearing them all day and have had no problems. I sized down 1 full size, and they fit perfect… thanks again Red Wing!

Beautiful boots
The Hawthorne roughout is great. I love that leather smell. Construction has been sturdy. Nothing came defective, and everything still looks good. These are my shitkicker boots, so I haven't babied them at all and they look great. That roughout really holds up. Thinking about buying the Slate roughout just to have them in another color

Very Inconsistent Finishing
I have to admit that one of my boots was made ALMOST flawlessly. But, the other boot (the left) was a mess. The welt was cut way too short. The leather on that same boot was quite thin, while the other boot's leather was up to par. Although I still think it (might) hold up, it annoys me that the texture, feel, and durability of the leather that is on my pair of boots are and will be completely different. To top it off, my mostly flawless (as in leather) right-side boot has a different issue. As in the outsole is starting to separate after ONE month of wear. Not kidding look at the photos. It's not anything too horrible, but you would expect almost perfect and flawless craftsmanship in such a premium-priced boot. I love to make jokes about left and right shoe factories and this boot definitely applies. Would not recommend.

Toe box wider on left boot.
Red Wing has a lot of Quality Control issues. Also, lucky to find size in inventory. Sad. They have a winner but keep losing due to forced errors.

Take Your Time Breaking Them In!
I tried to go hard and fast breaking these boots in, similar to how I have other boots in the past. Do not do that with these, take your time if you can. I actually caused some issues with one of my feet doing this. After I took a week off of these boots, and put them into a rotation with my other boots and shoes, everything was great! Now that they are broke in, they are super comfortable and I can wear them all day long. Everything about them is exactly what I was wanting.

BUILT TO LAST
I spend a lot of my workday on my feet so a comfortable pair of boots is very important to me. After the break-in period, I'm able to wear these ten hours a day without any issues whatsoever. They're classy, comfortable, and built to last. Even if they were double the price, it would be worth the investment.

Great Boot - Fits like a glove
I must admit I was skeptical buying a size 9 boot when I wear a 10 tennis shoe. And, for the first month or four of break in, I was wondering if they'd ever break in. But, when they did... WOW what comfort. I literally wear these the whole day. The sole wears amazingly well - still looks new after a few years. Highly recommend these boots. You will have them a long time. Worth the investment.

Speed hooks eating tongue.
Bought these Iron Rangers and really love them! Looks great and feels fine. Unfortunately, the speed hooks do bite into the tongue. Only had them for two weeks and worn four times. Wear is already visible on the tongue due to backing of speed hooks. Two of the hooks is easily rotated. Again, I really do love these boots and would like to keep it for years. Would hate to see holes in the tongue years down the line. Mainly on right shoe. QA could possibly catch these and machine press adjusted to make backing of hooks more flush? I am sure RW will address issue and please continue "Made in America"!

Speed hooks.
More of the same; great boots but the speed hooks have been destroying the tongue. Less than 6 months old and almost chewed through the entire tongue already. Clearly a manufacturing and / or QA/QC issue. Although with these many reviews talking about the speed hooks, I’d say it’s the former. Hopefully they fix this glaring issue to an incredibly comfortable and American made boot. Not sure what I’ll do yet. It’s really just a bummer.
