This is a borderline ASMR video, in a good way 😊. Your amber harness for the win, very nice collection. Can’t tell whether I love the oxbloods or not. They are unique in being both more dressy and more punk at the same time. Hope RW brings them back in the future as they are tempting. Cheers!
Yes, I’ve shown them on this vlog. And I’ve made a separate video: Red Wing Boots Round Toe 9111 Copper Rough & Tough Full Grain Leather - Iron Ranger Alternative
Thanks man! I actually bought the cordovan No.8, but returned them at Nordstrom due to sizing. Then decided to get another Red Wing instead. I will probably get the Evans boot in the future. What's your most favorite 1000 mile model/leather color?
@@matttherrien9608 I tried them on and the leather is too hard. It would take a very long time for me to break them in as I work from home. I actually like the look of the Iron Ranger a little more. 1000 Miles have much less break-in time. I’ve been happy with them so far. The leather soles is terrible in the snow.
Thanks man! You know I bought then returned the 9011 Beckmans due to sizing as Nordstrom didn't offer them in wide widths. They were just so stiff and harder to break in compared to the similarly lasted IRs and Blacksmiths. I do like the featherstone leather due to their shiny finish. But after about two weeks of wearing them inside the house, I gave up and exchanged them for a pair of 8119s.
I think they came from my Frye Dakota boots. You can get these leather laces at your local cobbler or shoe shop, that way you can choose your preferred length and thickness.
Hey man, thanks for asking! They do have the same 8 last, so sizing should be the same. I found the 9111s to be easier to break-in, maybe because of the single layer of leather on the toe part, compared IRs (double layer) cap toe design.
Thanks for your comment man! Yeah, it's hard to ignore amber harness' cool battle scars. I always advice to potential IR owners, that when it doubt, go for the amber harness.

Hey thanks! Ya, the Oxbloods are very versatile. 🔥
They look so cool in black,
Yea, I dig that white contrast stitching on the welt. Thanks!
Awesome video. In my opinion this is the sexiest Iron Ranger video. You have a new sub. 👊
Awww. Thank you. 🙌
I’ve got the 8085 rough and tough. I can’t decide if I want bathe oxblood or the rough out leather next. I really want a pair of nicks veg tan...
You can't really go wrong on either color. I would definitely consider a pair of Nicks if you have the budget. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Oxblood collar is very versatile. You can wear with any collar jeans.
Love that Oxblood color/. Would love to see that color in a Blacksmith.
Have you tried any Redwings in the copper rough and tough
Yes, I’ve shown them on this vlog. And I’ve made a separate video: Red Wing Boots Round Toe 9111 Copper Rough & Tough Full Grain Leather - Iron Ranger Alternative
which one do you wear the most?
The 8111s, the amber harness is truly a beautiful leather.
I want the Amber Harness to go with my Black Harness Rangers. I think two pairs of Rangers should be enough for me.
Congrats buddy. I’ve got a rotation of three boots but 1000 mile boots. The patina is looking good.

What's your most favorite 1000 mile model/leather color?
@@grahamhere3790 I like the Rust color. It’s kind of a reddish brown. They look the most casual out of my boots.
@@doug186 Yeah, I could imagine that the reddish brown chromexcel will be a great color for casual attire.
Do you have any Red Wings in your collection? Do you believe the Thousand Mile boots are truly better than the Iron Rangers?

Nice trifecta you got going on here. My version of this trio varies in that I have a pair of 9011 Beckman’s for the Oxblood color way. 👍🏽 #winning

Why is it 'color way' and not just color ?
@@monkeyface6139 That would work as well.
@@grahamhere3790
Yeah but why do you say it ?
@@monkeyface6139 Because I can.
What laces do you have in the 8111?
I think they came from my Frye Dakota boots. You can get these leather laces at your local cobbler or shoe shop, that way you can choose your preferred length and thickness.
Have the oxblood they're great
For sure man! Plus, they're kinda rare now, so that makes them more cool!
hello! couldn't you say, is that any difference in sizing between 9111 and 8111? thanx!
Hey man, thanks for asking!
They do have the same 8 last, so sizing should be the same. I found the 9111s to be easier to break-in, maybe because of the single layer of leather on the toe part, compared IRs (double layer) cap toe design.
Go Go Iron⚡️Rangers!!
Right on! 👊
I’m torn between the oxblood or the 8084 🤔
Get the Oxblood first as they seem to be hard to find nowadays.
Amber harness best by far
Thanks for your comment man! Yeah, it's hard to ignore amber harness' cool battle scars. I always advice to potential IR owners, that when it doubt, go for the amber harness.
The beauty is it ages like a good baseball glove.
@@matttherrien9608 definitely
Not the warmest boot. BUT it's definitely top 5 all time. Have both Black & Brown Og pairs nice trio !
Thanks man! Yea, there are other more expensive and maybe better looking boots out there, but they’re not Red Wing IRs! 😊
I don't know which leather to buy next.
The hawthorne Leather is the best color I think..
Is it just me or does the black one look like it has a slimmer fit than the others?
Fit wise, they all feel the same to me. So It might just be an optical illusion. Color black will often make you look slim anyway..
Black Harness Leather is the 8084
You're right, but the 8114s are the OGs. They were the original Rangers, when Red Wing makes IRs with Nitrile cork soles.
You name your shoes then turn them into a gang?
Hey, that’s how I roll man! 😎
Oh, no,.. you actually name your shoes ....
I think naming them is much easier to remember and identify them than their model numbers.. haha
Oxbloods toe box looks the ugliest.
Thanks for sharing!
@@grahamhere3790 what size are these Red Wings?
@@matttherrien9608 9Ds
