I wear Jim Green & Danner. The Red Wing factory, in Red Wing MN, is a beautiful 2 hour drive away, & we plan to visit the HQ & check out boots this Summer.
@@HariOmRadhaKrishna I’ve had my eye on some Danner Bull Runs, have you worn those?
Would be so cool to visit the Red Wing factory!

I went to a local store and he had an electronic scanner machine and it actually nailed the fit for me perfectly. Even right out of the box they felt pretty good, can’t wait until I break them in. I’ve only worn them for maybe 10 hours and they’re already doing great.
The salesman who worked with me actually owned the store, and he said that the physical storefronts are independently owned, and it’s annoying that he’s got to compete with Red Wing selling the exact same shoes online- so keep that in mind when you go to a store.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad your scan was correct. It must be annoying having to compete with your own brands online pricing and stock levels , I’m happy to support the local stores.
Store hunting can be fun and frustrating.
Their bread and butter is their work line and they're usually more stocked in that department than the heritage line.
Regarding the fitting: the market can only satisfy approximately 85% of people. The break in for some, because of their foot and ankle shape, can be difficult. I had zero issues with my IR and blacksmiths. On the 10875 I had a hard break in but love love love them now.
Great boots. Glad you found your size. Great video

Thanks for watching! Store hopping is fun and the staff at the Red Wing stores are very friendly.
I too have found the break-in to be fine. My IRs felt almost perfect from the first time I tried them on, and generally, I have a horrible time finding shoes/boots that fit me. My Viberg Service Boots were much more difficult to break in. Red Wing quality of materials and construction is not as high as Viberg, but I think their life expectancy will be as long. Which is wonderful, considering the price difference. The Iron Rangers are great value for the money.
Good to hear that they were an easy break in for you too! Thanks for watching.
I had my foot measure with the redwing laser device and they said I was a 10.5 d left and 10 D right and i picket up my pair back 2018 and after the break in and 90 day s later my feet had back heal ship to the point it made blisters I worn at work 10-12 hr a day Wow then 6 years later I had PNW co measure my foot and found that I was 9 to 9.5 EE width !! And they fit great !! I picked up a pair of Redwing 2408 is 9.5 EE and they great ! Don't trust there digital machine ask to use a Brannock Device they won't lie
@@johnversluis3084 that’s great advice, when in doubt trust the Brannock !
Iron ranger is not available in my country. Maybe through Ebay but I dont want to mess up the sizing. Love your review
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this review. Could you please compare them directly against the Numzaans? The Numzaans seem like a hulkier version of the IR's.
@@hndrksy I do plan a comparison video, be sure to subscribe so you know when it comes out. Thanks for watching.
@@xplorsocal2222 I´ll wait for it too
amazing video i love it
They look better with a leather midsole and heel stack. Especially with something like Vibram 100 sole
@@Dukeofmamucas a leather midsole would look great on them for sure
@@xplorsocal2222 worth while when your ready for a resole. Supposedly it gives the boot better shock protection. Some people actually send in brand new pairs for redrafting. Personally I’m not a fan of doing that, but to each their own
Are these construction boots?
@@Project819-qx5kc they could be used for that, but have become more of a fashion boot.
I did the custom fit machine at red wing. They fit me at a 11 d. What really fits my feet are a 8.5 ee.
@@aaronbrewer1742 wow, at least my width was right, yours was all over the place!
