![[ASMR] How to FIRE SHINE Your Red Wing Iron Rangers](/img/n.gif)
I have been contemplating a pair of Iron Rangers for a rugged boot that will still look smart with casual dressy slacks or jeans, but I have been reticent because I did not think that they would take a polish. You have totally changed my mind about that - these boots look amazing and perfect for my needs. Thank you so much for the great video!
Excellent! I prefer the boot oil made by Red Wing for my Rangers. It’s good stuff.
I dig the shined look. Definitely looking squared away. These boots never look bad. Even with the worn look. Well conditioned and a nice light shine accentuates the quality of the leather.
The beauty of oiled leather is that it can take a beating and always manage to clean up nicely.
I watched your video, and I felt it was the best among any shoe care videos. Thanks to you, I'm getting a new pair of boots, and I believe I'll be able to enjoy the best aging experience, all thanks to you :)
That final gentle tap… they need that. Great care. Loved the shine.
Thank you so much !
This is some of the best ASMR on TH-cam
Thank you so much !
Agree!
@@mrandmrscorona8658 THANK YOU 😄😄
Asmr?
Beautiful. Such a timeless boot. Just performed this tonight with my rangers. Such a satisfying process. Awesome video!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Excellent cleaning process. In my opinion, the before look is better.
Thank you so much! To each their own. Some people love the worn look. I'll admit, I love cleaning and maintaining boots but worn boots just look cool 😁
I said the exact same thing in my head. If only we could have the best of both worlds.. a cleaned, conditioned boot, with the worn look.
@@MOST415 it's hard to do so. Mainly because a worn look also means the leather is probably dry and once you add conditioners it deepens the color. Oh well guess that just means we gotta wear them more ! 😉😁😁😁
I like the mat and worn out look too but the ones he just finished cleaning and polishing will wrinkle as soon as you start walking in them. The leather will soon become mat because the leather will soak up a lot of the products applied. I think that leather always has a rough look which comes back as soon as they’re worn after cleaning.
Stunning! Cheers from Minnesota, and just down the road a ways from Red Wing.
Great now I know how I'm going to clean my Iron rangers, and have a beer while doing it!
I just appreciate the fact that you fixed the lacing. In the beginning of the video both boots are laced with the "bar" being under. (Which I personally cannot stand). But at the end when doing the comparison you fixed the untouched boot to match the lacing on the treated boot to ‘bar over". Thank you so much! 20 years in the military has caused me to notice all the little things and an absolute boot fanatic. Great job and great video!
I can't stop smiling after watching this splendid Red Wing Iron Ranger Clean & Care ASMR video. Not only because I absolutely loved it but also after reading ridiculous comments from some "I-know-better" tryhards, ignorants and your responses to them. They are as smooth as great the boots look after you've taken care of them. Thanks, best video I've seen so far today and I was looking >exactly< for that. I'm just waiting for my two (used) pairs of classic Mocs from RW to arrive (should be tomorrow) and I'm preparing to cleaning the shit out of them during the weekend. I will mimicate the procces on my Iron Rangers too. I'm only jelous mine are black, so they won't have that beautiful patina. :)
Better than new. Thank you for sharing. 😎
Thank you !!
Your videos are very relaxing 💤
thank you so much !
A big difference in the end is that, there are shoe trees in the cleaned boot, but not in the unclean boot, so the clean boot looks fuller/tighter.
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video
Very impressive shine.. but little too much work for shoe laces. FYI Red Wing offers free cleaning & laces for life. If your boots not Seconds. I get all 9 pairs of my Red Wing clean & condition and new laces 3xs a year. Good luck 👍✌️
Thank you ! I clean my laces so they last longer. I don't replace laces unless I absolutely need to ( I don't like to make trash ). I did not know redwing did that. That's is good to know. I prefer to clean my own shoes/boots but maybe if I'm ever feeling lazy I'll try them out.
I love to shine the front and back and just brush the polish everywhere else, it just accentuates the shine even more. I got this pair of Oxblood 213's from Red Wing and brown polish just makes the blood look richer.
Absolutely! And a shine on the Oxblood rangers always looks epic !
Checking out my analytics and see that your video points viewers to mine and wanted to say thanks! Keep up the awesome work! You’ll be at 1k subs soon. I just added one. Cheers!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
@@TheGlassToe Yeah Buddy! Your video is solid and gives me something to aspire to with respect to ASMR.
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed that.
Great job man! I watched till the end 😅👍
Good job, I wouldn't have used the wax at the end, though for the high polish look, I would have just used the brush after using the cream and left them at that.
Stumbled onto your channel during a browsing frenzy. Love it. Background music down JUUUUST a smidge would be perfect. This is great stuff. Look forward to more content and wish for continued subscriptions for your channel! Cheers!
Thank you so much! I agree. I've actually started only using the music st the start and end of the vids. I hope people like that more. You get to hear all the sounds in between.
@@TheGlassToe excellent! Really got some stress melted away today thanks to this.
Very happy to hear that !
The music if fine, it’s lower than the road noise.
@@TheGlassToe can you tell me what the name the music?
I can’t believe this video ended!!
OR DID IT !!!
You must have been in the service. Nice boot care and shine.
I wasn’t going to get these until I watched this with my eyes closed with high fidelity headphones!
Thank you
Super good to clean!!!
Thank you 😄
Nice video, great background music
Nice job 👍. Bick 4 is a great conditioner.
Thank you! It really is. Especially to help keep light colors from darkening!
I have a pair of thrusday boots I like. Maybe these will be my next boot . Or the Blacksmith.
Iron Rangers or Black Smiths are both great choices. 😄👍
Wow 😳 perfection.. nice and shinny
Thank you so much !!
Reminds me of people and their cast iron pans. The appeal of said items is their simplicity, durability and ease of care. And yet there are entire communities devoted to over wrought pampering that makes ownership into a stewardship of obscure craftsmanship rivaling exotic animal husbandry.
Join the cult 😄
Great video! Wondering exactly what you used to wash the laces in. As well as what was that you used to get the soap foamed up in?
By the look of these, they’ve been worn for maybe a week. This was not a restoration but an over the top maintenance. Also do not use saddle soap. It changes the color of the leather and dries it out. All you need is mink oil after using water to clean of dust/debris.
As far as ASMR goes, great video.
Thank you 👍. The boots are 10yrs old. Saddle soap always used. I just take care of them.
@@TheGlassToe
They didn’t use that bottom, sole or other parts 10 years ago. You showed everything that proves that’s a red wing from 2020-2021. Great ASMR video.
@@MrBentleyvision I think you are thinking of the mini lug sole, which are the new soles. Mine don't have that. They are also time coded 2013 so my appoligies not quite 10 yrs just yet.
@@TheGlassToe they would still be leather bottom in 13. Unless you barely wear them the leather isn’t broken in either
@@MrBentleyvision you are 100% correct. I don't even own iron rangers, this video is CGI.
You made your boots look awesome and unbelievable. Great job. I have the exact same boot but didn’t get in depth with shining them all up yet. But great video.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's always nice to show our hardworking boots some TLC
Wonderful
Thank you!
Those are still in great shape
Yes they are 👍
They can't be very old, my guess would be a year max.
@@mignav464 about 4 to 5 years old. Obviously with a resole tossed in.
Pretty Good Procedure !!!
Thank you so much !
I sub. And liked. Great Video!!!
Thank you so much ! I appreciate the sub and support!
Awesome video. Inspired me to clean my boots lol. What brush were you using to apply the saddle soap?
Not sure what brand of brush his was but use a horse hair brush for saddle soap and for polishing.
I'll link the exact one on this vid tomorrow. I have it linked in the last 2 vids I posted in the description. I need to add the links to all my vids tho. It is a horsehair brush tho.
@@TheGlassToe I’ll take a look in the other videos. Thank you!
Great video, I have a pair of Iron Rangers in Oxblood and I would like to maintain that original shine/factory new look. Do I just copy and follow your method (using the same products)? My concern is accidentally changing the color/look of the original boot. How would you recommend I go about it? Thanks again for the awesome content. You have a new subscriber
Estou no seu canal mas nao ta tendo video novo. Amei teu trabalho muito bom. Parabéns! Me. Distrai muito ver voce limpando calçados.esses sons de passar escova com sabão. Limpar e escovar e muito relaxante gostei de coraçao mesmo. Excelente profissional. Um abraço e muita saude. aqui do Brazil
Thank you so much ! its great to see you coming back again and again. Thank you for the support !!
I feel asleep, I woke at the end, did you buy new boots 🤗
Great video, I guess I got to relaxed 😕
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Don’t forget to condition insole if you don’t it will crack overtime
Wow amazing.
Thank you !
NICE WORK!
Thank you !!
What is that you clean your laces with? A jewelry cleaner?
The before boot is how they look new. I just bought so I know. The shined boot is great but it’s not “natural” look for rough and tough leather.
No the shine is not the standard finish but was what I wanted. The before was not new or clean. These boots are several years old. They were not filthy but not clean.
@@TheGlassToe you should have left them as is looked better
@@steveonaga we all have opinions.
@@steveonaga He can do whatever he wants with his shoes, at least he has an unusual and unique version the 8111. I like both versions mat and shiny. I keep in mind the recipe.
@@steveonaga That’s a really good idea. Let him know what else you like so he can tailor his style to appease you.
What's the white stuff you are using? Saphire wax?
In the tin ? Yes. Clear wax
Awesome Tips!!
Thank you !
So nice and shiny, what she said😂
Also, you have a big list of lots of products here in your description. What exactly did you use on these Iron Rangers??
❤
Lovely job but I prefer the matt look. They looked perfect before the saphir process but that’s just my opinion.
Also, when I do mine, I clean the sole first. It makes all the difference and it’s the part people never seem to clean. Also, wash out the laces under cold water. You saw the dirt they were sat in so a good wash out will make them last longer. The creases look lovely and they look well used!
Everyone had their own way of doing things. What's important is that we are taking care of our hard working boots 😄
@@TheGlassToe true, but cleaning the sole also gives you the chance to inspect for damage and things stuck in the sole like glass and sharp stones and you can address those or pick them out before they become a problem, whereas you can’t see that if they’re dirty. I’m not saying you’re wrong or your video isn’t good in any way, I’m just letting other people know what else they can do
Awesome Stuff!
Thank you !!
Not fault finding, each is to his own but I wouldn't use wax polish on my boots. Unless it's my dress boots. It will be harder to nourish the boots next time without removing the wax 1st. But if you are going for that glossy look, than by all means. 👊
100% correct. Only multiple wax layers for special occasions. One or two coats is fine to help keep the boot protected. A light layer will wear off by the time it's conditioning time. A thick layer won't allow for proper absorption
Need a list of all the stuff used in this video, particularly whatever the black bowl (mortar?) is
I added the list of everything I use to the description. The bowl is a Mortar ( molcajete ) I got from smart and final. I don't have a link for that.
Awesome
Thank you Edwin
nice job
Thank you!
Nice video, but Saphir Medaille d’Or Mirror Gloss makes skin more darken.
Thanks for watching!
After you soaped it up, did you just spray on water?
I suspect your boots never go off-road? Mine are 3 days old and have more wear than that
They only go off road, walking on the road is dangerous, might get hit by a car.
I have a pair of those in the same color that I use for work. Crazy how much more beat up mine look lol. I put mink oil on them and they're taking on kind of a maroon patina. I really like it.
Mink oil is great for work boots.
Should you wait a day for boots to dry after using soapy water/foam to clean it up?
It depends on how saturated the boots get. If it has been a while since the last clean usually the leather is really dry and will retain water. Give it a day or so and then continue. Simply feel the leather for any wetness. As soon as it's dry it's good to go. You do not want to trap any moisture in the leather with the other products so it's best to wait and ensure it's dry.
Do you think I could use that ultrasonic cleaner for my set of false teeth?
What type of brushes are those and I’m assuming that’s an ultrasonic cleaner you used for the laces?
I use various brushes. The ones in the video are by trolly car. Yes that was an ultrasonic cleaner. Thank you very much for watching
really like the video..... Metallica hidden song lmao
Thank you ! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid 😄
Are these boots waterproof or water resistant.
Resistant
I’ve never seen amber harness leather that shiny! Bravo.👌
Thank you so much !
Could you please tell me, what the cleaning liquid for the laces was?
The liquid is just EZ cleaner.
Did You wait for the leather to be dry? Before applying the conditioner
Absolutely
Can you add a link for the saddle soap bowl?
Unfortunately not. It's a plastic Molcajete I got at a super Markey. I haven't ordered one from Amazon to try to recommend.
What kind of dauber brush are you using ? Who makes that one ??? Nice
I added the link for you 😁. It's labeled Dauber.
It'll be in the video description now
What’s the device you’re cleaning the laces in? Where can I get one?
It's a small ultrasonic cleaner. You can find them on Amazon 😄.
Cleaning an already clean shoe? What's the point? Anyway good video!
Because I like chaos. Thanks
Which color iron rangers were they?
Amber Harness
Sir, how old are these pair of boots ?
Also, what do you wear them for (work, casual, dress)?
They are around 5 years old I believe. They are my go to boots. I don't necessarily baby them but I don't abuse them. I'll wear them when doing light carpentry, wrenching on my car or motorcycle but nothing that I'd call them work boots. I clean them up for dress but I also wear them casually. The Iron rangers are the boots I always tend to wear.
How often do you clean them? Only asking cause I’m considering purchasing this same pair of boots. After 5 years your boots look gorgeous. I wear a pair of their moctoes for work. Oh and are they as comfortable as they claim? Was your break in period long?
Cleaning them, like I did in the video, depends on how dirty I get them. If they are dirty enough to me I do this cleaning for a deep clean. Normally I dust off after ever wear and put boot trees in them. I give them a little conditioning once a week or every other week and a little wax once every 2 weeks. I may wash them, like in the vid, once a month or every other as long as they don't get excessively dirty.
The break in period was about 2 weeks. I would buy them and then go straight to work in them or do anything that would last hours. After break in they are extremely comfortable. I love wearing them
Where can I get that soap and detail brush?
You can pick up both from Amazon. Soap is saddle soap and the brush is a dauber.
Alguien me pudiera me pudiera dar información de dónde conseguir unas botas cómo estás del vídeo, me gustaron demasiado, se lo agradeceré. 👍
Los Botas son del marca Red Wing - Iron Rangers. Tambien puedes mirar la marca Thursday Boots - Captain.
Red wing iron rangers y tienen un costo alrededor de los 300 dlls
What was that thing you put the laces into?
It was an ultrasonic cleaner.
@@TheGlassToe thank you.
How to clean a clean pair of boots.
Don't recommend wax on oiled leather. Use Saphir for Greasy Leather. Neets Foot Oil if you want more water proofing.
I used wax for the shine, not for waterproofing. Nothing wrong with wax on oiled leather. Only concern here would be altering the texture of the leather the Iron Rangers come in, which I am aware of and prefer. But yes if you want to keep the standard texture an oil or greasy cream is ideal.
I use looking for obenoffs boot oil on mine
@@steveonaga Thanks, I'll have to give it a try.
What's wrong with wax on oiled leather? The only thing I didn't like about it is that it darkened the leather a bit and it loses a bit of character, but the shine looks great.
Where do you get those brushes?
I buy them from a local shop.
@@TheGlassToe are they boars hair or something different?
where found this shoe,,plz
They are from RedWing. Model Iron Ranger
You spent more time doing what You
did to that one work boot , that I've
ever done to every work boot and
dress shoes I've EVER owned !!!!
If Your work boot requires THAT
level of maintenance , You have to reconsider
Your definition of WORK boot !!!!
I spent even more time editing the video. Thanks for watching 😄
@@TheGlassToe OCD
( just saying ) LOL
😁😁
Whats with the soft spa music. These are heavy duty work boots not womans underwear
Sometimes work boots just want to feel like ladies underwear. They work hard, let them relax.
Ah, did I just see someone washing their boot laces? I need to rest now, mercy…
You most certainly did. Enjoy your rest !
And are these good boots for HVAC technicians?
I'd assume so depending on how you like your boots. Some people like alpt of cushion. I personally get sore feet and get tired being on my feet the softer the soles are so I like these. They are not rock hard or anything, just stiff. Durability wise definitely
Iron Rangers aren’t supposed to shine though.
And yet.... they do 😲
These are brand new boots. I’m very confused.
It's ok.
It's for those who enjoy ASMR. It has little to nothing to do with cleaning.
@@seth_5394 It is for ASMR but it has everything to do with cleaning. This is how you would clean these boots. People's idea of "dirty" or "worn" is so skewed because of the lack of care people have for their shoes. The leaves of Dirt on these shoes is the ideal amount for routine cleaning, but people abuse shoes, especially boots for the sake of the " Rugged look". These boots are actually several years old. They look new because of the proper care they have received.
@@TheGlassToe I don't understand what "the leaves of dirt" means. It's all good my friend, I'm just poking fun. I see nothing wrong with your method and certainly proper care adds to the life of the boots. What it means to be dirty is somewhat subjective. I regularly drive by a car wash near my home and wonder what some of the cars in line are doing there because they look clean to me. But I have a friend who judges anyone who doesn't wash their car every other day and calls them lazy for it.
No, those boots were no where near dirty. But then again, I was in the Marines back when we had to polish boots and press uniforms every fuckin night and now my standards have relaxed a bit lol. Nice video!
@@seth_5394 I meant the level of Dirt lol. And no problem, not a hostile comment at all. I just meant that dirty for most people meant caked on Dirt and grime. I get alot of " Those aren't dirty" when in fact they are, but then again if everyone took care of leather like they were supposed to I wouldn't have a job lol.
All you had to do was stop after the Bickmore, mirror shine? On oiled harness leather? You just ruined that man’s boots but tap them twice, it’s alright😂🤦♂️
By that logic, don't use Bickmore. It's not an oiled leather condition 🤷♂️. Ruined his boots ? Good thing I'm a restoration expert than 😁
Nah bruh they ain’t dirt bruh wait a second bruh
Bruh...
How do you get dried up cow shit and mud off them without scratching the leather more?
Probably let it try, do the whole smack against something hard ti get the most off and then use a semi stiff brush to knock the rest off. After use warm soapy water to scrub the rest off. If you are trying to avoid scratching the leather it's just going to take more time. There is no secret to it. Gentle scrubbing with an appropriate brush until it comes off. If you are doing it to IRs remember that specific leather scratches easily and also removes easily. So you can scratch the hell out of it, as long as you aren't scraping the leather, the conditioning that will follow will "erase" most if not all scratching.
I've never had to remove feces from boots, but you may want to use a vinegar/EZ cleaner do disinfect. I hope that helps. If I can do anything else to help lmk.
@@TheGlassToe to be honest I just use an old toothbrush under running water in the sink, let them sit to dry then use black rock on them and wear them to work again. They are ok boots but don’t really classify as what i would consider a work boot anymore, maybe 80 years ago I would but not anymore. Still not bad I don’t work a boot as hard as I once did so maybe they will be alright
They looked better before IMO.
Opinions welcomed 😄
@@TheGlassToe Nice job, but they are not dress shoes. The wear and tear leaves a nice patina.
@@camarocarl7130 they are whatever the owner wants them to be. True leather patina cannot be cleaned off, what may he mistaken as patina was only dirt and dryness.
@@TheGlassToe Perhaps, but now you have clogged the pores with unnecessary wax. A clean and Bick 4 is all that is needed IMO. They look silly now.
You are welcome to do whatever you want to your boots and shoes 🍻
Come on what's with the gloves
My hands are camera shy, sorry. Were working on it.
Блестят , как котовые яйца!!!
You are meticulous. Now go walk in the mud! Thanks for the tips re technique.
I call bullshit! One boot is the new book and one boot is a used boat I can tell by the crease behind the toe cap and one heel is new and one is worn
Thank you ! I love when people think I switched out one boot for a new one. It means I'm doing my job properly.
Traffic noise
Yes
