Why We Like The Iron Ranger Wide Boot
The phrase "an American classic" might be used for a lot of things, but Red Wing wholeheartedly deserves that saying when it comes to their Iron Ranger Wide Boot. The Iron Ranger has had time to refine, and in that time its been enhanced with a Goodyear Welt Construction for durability and Vibram 430 Mini-Lug sole for no-slip confidence. This wide version features Red Wing's number 8 last with a larger toe box so we have more room to spread our feet out.

Solid boots. Stains too easy
These iron ranger boots are sturdy and have withstood every element. The only thing that would keep me from giving them a 5 is that they stain way too easily. I had a couple drops of beer spill onto them and still haven't been able to fully get the stains out.

Suprisingly durable
A great quality boot. The surprising part of the copper boots was how easy it was to rub away scratches using your fingers/cloth and the mink oil which is a must. Was quick to break in after daily use. I would recommend getting properly fitted with the 3D scanner and try using the leather insoles. The soles are pretty tough and grip enough for most surfaces. It is a harder sole, unlike softer rubbers, these will tend to slip on polished concrete. These had decent traction in snow. The laces are rough, so it holds well without double knotting. Some minor wear/fraying in particular locations. The length works well for me at size 6.5. The back of the quick hooks are are scratching tongue, which was remedied by using felt tape. After using mink oil it'll turn a much dark brown, which is very nice. Loving the boots so far after daily use over 4 months.

so glad i waited
these were my first pair of iron rangers and i know that a correctly fitted pair of boots can become beloved pieces of gear that are not forgotten soon. i bought another redwing pair sometime ago off the internet and after disregarding many warnings i bought my usual size of 12 and found that those warnings were justified, the boots were to big. i kept the boots, put in some heel inserts and was happy but, i wanted that glove like fit i got from basic training so after deciding on the 8085’s copper rough and tough i went to our redwing store and had the salesman measure my foot and was rather surprised that he could fit me in a 10.5, a full size and a half down. i got the boots and the break in period tested my patience with holding it together but hold it together i did and im paid off with a pair of boots that are complimented on their great looks every time i wear them out as i enjoy the comfort i knew would come from these iconic pieces of americana.1

Comfy and boujee!
When you wear this shoe, anyone who compliments… just knows- it’s a brand and pretty iconic… I had mine for 7 years while working in the trades- unfortunately i neglected mine to a point of no return and ended up replacing them with new ones. Break in was not really that bad and once they’re broken in- they fit perfectly. Just take care of the leather with your brushing and conditioner. These can last for years!!!!! A+ in quality and craftsmanship- will buy again and again..

Outstanding Boot - Love the Hawthorne Muleskinner
I love the leather on these boots. It's high quality and beautiful and wears very well without any real upkeep or maintenance. My only complaint is the break-in around the collar. The way the very back of the collar hits my legs, it's rubbing and chaffing against my socks leaving painful horizontal marks on the back of my lower calf. I bought another pair in Copper Rough & Tough and don't have this issue at all (have worn another pair in amber harness for 20 years without this issue too). I think it's because the muleskinner leather is not as stiff so it doesn't hold a round "leg shape" like the stiffer copper leather. I hope in time it will break in to hold a rounder shape against my leg instead of laying so horizontal and cutting/rubbing across the back of my lower calf. For the price, nothing compares to the Iron Ranger. It's a fantastic boot that you can have and rebuild for many years if not decades. Sure you can spend twice the money and find even better boots out there, but short of custom handmade boots, Iron Rangers are some of the best I've ever worn.

Snug fit. But oh so comfortable
Bought the 8085 boots two months ago and have been wearing them every day. Break in was surprisingly easy. At the store the Brannok foot measurement device said I had size 7.5. However the attendant at the store suggested a size 6. Size 6!!! And she was right. I love these boots. And they're already developing a wonderful warm patina. I get many compliments. They were expensive. But worth every penny. Now it's time to look at a moc toe.

Beautiful
Went to my local store for a pair of supersole 2.0 work boots. Saw these on display and on an impulse bought them also. This color is really cool and wears in with a unique finish. They are much lighter in person than the photos. After I knew they fit properly I decided to darken them with mink oil. I see no issues with my pair but I can understand how some might have a problem with the eyelets digging into the tongue. The craftsmanship definitely isn't perfect there. Mine fit like a glove and a half size down (same width) from the supersole size was perfect. Didn't even have to try on multiple pairs. Break in hasn't been a problem for me, but the leather foot bed is hard and will take some wearing in before they mold to the foot. The leather upper is thick but soft and supple. No blisters, no pain in my case.

A piece of art
I bought my first IR 8085’s about 3 weeks ago. I’ve worn my boots almost daily, the break up process was easy and the boots are very comfortable. Everywhere I go people give me complements about the boots, the design, the style, color, materials, craftsmanship are noticeable. Hands down my favorite boot/ shoe to wear everyday!
