Finally someone reviews these with proper wear. Most of the videos on TH-cam, it’s just so guy who wears them around the city. Instead of for work our outdoors stuff. To me, these aren’t fashion boots. These are old school work boots, so they should be reviewed as such
Red Wing will tell you when you go into the store that the heritage line are not for work. I get what you mean but they literally have a WORK line of boots that is completely different than the heritage. They are fantastic and you can work in them since they are tough... but they are quite literally not work boots and not in the actual work line that red wing makes lmao@@Rokaize
@@Commander_HW they were made for iron miners. And are super heavily built. If you don’t think they are work boots then I guess you can keep up your delusion
That's a beautiful patina showing on these. I got the same pair recently but have been hesitant to wear them but seeing how nice the color change is I think I'll stop babying mine as much
Cleaning them and hydrating the boots with red wings branded oil will probably revive the original color a bit as well. I own red wing work boots and had a surprising result when I gave them maintenance
This is an interesting review because you've really put yours to the test. I've had a pair for almost 3 years now but I've babied the hell out of them and they look new.
I am a couple of months into my Iron rangers. The brake in period was pretty intense for me, had a couple of hot spots. But now that I’ve broken them in they are a dream. I can relate to what you said about the individualisation of the boots, you look forward to wearing them.
The most attractive me is the manifestation of the soles. I noticed in your video that the place you went to almost on some cross-country occasions but the soles are still well-preserved. Honestly, it is much more durable than I thought before.
I went to the local Red Wing store and tried on IR's - no dice for me! Went home and ordered Truman Boots for not much more $. Very happy now. IR's are good, but there are much better options that are local American companies and not corporations. I love my Trumans!
@@ike780 Yes, a pair came up on ebay. They are a couple years old (although barely worn) and have the black half lug sole. Also, a bit more orange than tan. I'm saving up for a new pair, either a plain/soft toe pair of Trumans or the Nick's AL64. Not sure what leather. My other boots are Allen Edmonds which I got on sale for around $200. Nice, but obviously not in the same league as Truman or the Spokane companies.
Check out Wyatt and Dad Cobblers, they have Dr. Sole’s now which are much softer and grippier, they can also do a logger sole with super cool or stacked leather.
I love this boot. Had mine, now, for a couple years, and they're not my only boots. I've been dying to have a grippier, softer sole since day one. Personally, if it's an uncomfortable sole to walk in and it makes you slip and fall, it's not the right sole. So my IRs get worn in the garden, yard, or out in the woods but not hiking. When the time comes for a resole, I'm going to go with vibram honey lugs... for tread and softness.
I also plan on resoling my iron rangers with a honey sole and a leather midsole. From other reviews, it doesn't make the boot that much more softer but it does help a little especially on long walks.
The nitrile cork on the former 8113’s are way more grippy with what feels like a higher rubber content and the bits of cork. I only have 1 pair of Iron Rangers (4313 Spirit Lakes) that have the Vibram mini-lug and it feels mor plasticky and way less grip. Too bad Reed Wing seems to be moving away from the Nitrile Corks in favor of the Vibram mini-lug 🤦🏻♂️
Great to see another video from you! The boots are looking good. For me, the heels are always replaced once or twice before I get the outsoles replaced on the heeled boots I own. If you want to resole them with something grippier and soft, but still want the lugs and some longevity go for the Vibram 132 commando lug sole (as used on the red wing 4585 and the 4556's) - They come in black, brown and a honey wheat colour. You could also go super soft and get some Vibram gumlite or vi-lite soles instead. Also, don't forget to have a leather midsole slapped on there and the cork refilled!
@@hell0all You welcome - Thanks. I would say a filler is definetly needed, as a goodyear welt creates a void between the midsole and the insole. But if you are iffy about it being cork, just have the cobbler replace the cork with a piece of veg-tan leather instead - Most good cobblers should be able to do this.
Great video. If you ever want updates/upgrades to your RW's, check out Aaron at Revive Shoe Repair. Excellent Red Wing work, and you can see it on his TH-cam channel.
I bought a pair of IR Hawthorne Muleskinners this past weekend. I was on the fence about whether to keep them, how to maintain them, what the roughout might look like once it gets dirty. I appreciate you stating "This is what MY boots look like..." This is very important to consider since you wore yours every day. Mine will look totally different since I will not wear them daily, live a more sedentary lifestyle, plan to try to keep them clean, etc. Your review has persuaded me to keep them. Your IRs look well loved. Thank you!
Dude, they look better with some wear! Even if you want to keep them for a more “sedentary” life style. Think of how raw denim jeans become more awesome with each wear & fade that develops. That’s how these boots go. It gains character. A brand new looking boot is boring and characterless! I’ve tested mine like sh!t for ages and they’re looking so cool! Ooh, just a quick FYI, I treated/nourished them from the “INSIDE” with my own dubbin concoction made with tallow, lard, lanolin and a few drops of tea tree oil as an anti microbial. Then I put them out in the sun hear the boot up & allow the stuff to soak in. DONT use stuff with neatsfoot oil which will oxidise inside the leather fibres and literally break down the fibres.
@@stevej.6674 Thank you for drawing the analogy of my well-loved Naked & Famous LHTs to how I should wear my boots. I look forward to wearing my jeans, experiencing the fades, and seeing how they age over time! Thank you.
When you get them resoled, if you are going to get a softer rubber, you might want thicker/more aggressive lugged soles. better grip and will last longer even with the softer material.
I have the mule skinners also, mine are very dark. Soles look like yours, not the most comfortable, just ok. I’ll have mine resolved as well, at some point. I’ve been wearing my “nicks overlanders”for work lately. My Nicks Americana’s are my Favorite though. Cool video👍
Thanks for watching. I think when i get them resoled i’ll go with a leather midsole. I suspect the cork has disintegrated at the flex point and clumped up around my big toe. Its giving me some discomfort there. That may actually fast forward my resole.
I just brought IR to get resoled and the tred was worn completely flat. I wore through to the stitching just like yours are but it never split or separated at all. I would not worry about the stitches at all
The grip is better then I expected with the mini lug. I’m new to iron rangers but I’ve worn mine on a short rocky hike, about 2 miles and had no issues at all with grip. It was very dry but lots loose dirt and stones.
Just bought my first pair about 9 days ago. They're breaking in nicely. I'm going back to get the cleaning kit. I figure it will be worth it for the long term.
Lots of comments below about ppl babying their Iron Rangers. Don't. The more you wear them, the better the patina. Every 6 months with heavy use, clean them and use Obenaufs leather conditioner. Get some different conditioner for the roughout leather like the 8083 Muleskinners in this video. I have the 8111's and these 8083's. They look better the more you wear them. 2.5 years of wear and they're fantastic.
Can't justify over 300 for a mid tier boot. With Whites and Nick's having much higher quality and entry level shoes like Thursday it's just not ideal for me. Always wanted a pair but not for 300
Have driven a lot of vehicles (from a Civic to an old Toyota like yours to big rigs) in my RW's. Can definitely be a bit clumsy with Rangers. My Harvesters are my fav for driving stick in.
I really want to love these boots but In my experience they're mad uncomfortable even after breaking them in. I've had mine for over a year now and I can't usually stand in them for more than a few hours. I think part of it is a sizing issue though which is unfortunate, and I've kind of messed up the toungue on one of them trying to make it stay straight.
if you want flat soles id say try danite their alot softer but not to soft itl give you some more grip /and when to resole it truly depends on how much you ware them id say you ware them everyday usually every 2 years aso depending what soles
While it's a shame that maintaining the colour seems to be near-impossible, they've developed their own kind of beauty to make up for it and still look great. I really appreciate that about quality clothing items, the more I learn and experience them myself.
my hawthorne muleksinners are my favorite by far. so comfortable. i recently bought a pair of the copper and holy shit is there such a big difference. They're so incredibly stiff, even more so than the amber harness i have.
Sole wear is a personal preference, obviously, but you have a long way to go before I'd consider resoling them if they were mine. Some people do replace the heels and not the sole when they get too rounded, depending on how their footfall feels in the boot.
My blacksmith (same soles) are about 18mths and are showing the same amount of sole wear, particularly the heels. I wish they’d cut a channel for the stickers around the edges of the sole so that you get a little longer before you blow through them , cost issues I guess. Pretty happy with the sole’s otherwise. I think I’ll probably resole these in the spring. Overall delighted with the boots and am currently thinking of getting a pair of iron rangers.
@@hell0all I haven’t had much trouble with slippage with the mini lug sole though they are firm on long walks on concrete. I was thinking of getting them resoled with black Christie soles like those used in their Moc toes (the boots are charcoal)
@@hell0all Oh, cool. No, I have no suggestions. I would probably stick with the standard mini lug - but I'm thinking a veg-tan midsole might be nice as a wee upgrade.I look forward to seeing what you decide on. Thanks again for your videos.
Thank you so much for the video. I have been more convinced that the iron ranger is NOT the boot for me. In between the sloppy / loose fit and the dangerously slick sole, these boots are a complete waste of $350. They look pretty, however they are less functional than a screen door on a submarine. The way that these clunky bricks make it difficult for your to shift gears looks absolutely cumbersome too. Thank you for saving me $350.
If you want a boot to last you forever through daily use in a shop or however you’d use it with little maintenance. These are wonderful. If you’re looking for a comfortable boot for hiking. These are not for you.
2:17 you're showing a pair of Copper Rough and Tough Rangers brand new, the 8085. You're holding the Muleskinners. An entirely different type and color of leather so of course they look different.

Yes, very durable. Thanks for watching.
Waiting for the 2.5 year update! :D
I'd get your boots resoled right away! Might as wear something you like! Great video. Thanks for putting it together
Thanks for watching! It’s tough for me to throw away a sole that has good life left though. It’s the principal of the thing lol.
Thanks for the update!
Thanks for watching.
Nice to see someone who actually wears his boots
Just ordered mine. Should be on my feet in a couple weeks.
I plan on using them as a legit work boot
Awesome. I wish you a million happy, healthy miles in them.
Hey it’s been a while since you last posted some videos…..
Do you still have the Iron Rangers?
I have two of them for dress up one in black and brown they go well with suits. And white loging boots for working
really want a pair but in the uk it rains alot so not sure cant choose between these or the 1907 moc
Have you resoled them now? Or still keeping them with original soles?
Hey there! How are the shoes going on? :-)
I like that you came back, awesome vids!
Thanks!
Most comfortable boots i own.
I went to the local Red Wing store and tried on IR's - no dice for me! Went home and ordered Truman Boots for not much more $. Very happy now. IR's are good, but there are much better options that are local American companies and not corporations. I love my Trumans!

Have you ever cleaned them?
Check out Wyatt and Dad Cobblers, they have Dr. Sole’s now which are much softer and grippier, they can also do a logger sole with super cool or stacked leather.
Will do. Thanks for the suggestions.
Whats the story on the cool 4runner?
oh wow, that sure is a story. 16 years with me. 2 engines, repainted, fenders, bumpers, soft top. Camping, cruising etc. Ive had alot of fun with it!
I hate that sole. I resoled mine with Vibram Montagna immediately.
Love the Iron Rangers but absolutely hate the sole Redwing uses.
Yea it’s not great. I’ll look into this montagna. Thanks for the suggestion.
Can I get id of your jeans your wearing?
Levis 502
Of course you had to look like a hipster, that’s why I won’t buy Redwings
Cool.
More proof that boots look even better worn in. Great, honest review

That Toyota 4Runner has a gooch air blaster 3000 don’t see those everyday
Excellent series! Please, keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!
The stitching on the outsole is no issue, sole does not lose any structural strenth.
Love how they age, looks better now then new imo.
Good to know. Thanks!
Love mine. Once broken in they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Great video!

really love the honey vibram rubber. i have zero education i picked it for astethics only, but it was noticably softer, squishier, springier
Thanks! I’ll look into this. Sounds very interesting.
You can dye the boots back to the original colour easily if you remove the waterproof coating, usually with acetone.
Thanks, very interesting.

Hope you are doing well.
Waterproofing will can leather color.
For sure darkened it. Good point.
Sole wear is a personal preference, obviously, but you have a long way to go before I'd consider resoling them if they were mine. Some people do replace the heels and not the sole when they get too rounded, depending on how their footfall feels in the boot.
That extra wear on your right shoe is likely from driving, in case that wasn’t commented sooner (I couldn’t find it)
hi, where did you get the shoe trees you put inside the boots?
woodlore
have the same soles on my blacksmiths. In my opinion they are much too hard to walk on pavement. It hurts thge joints.
how many miles do u reckon uve walked in them in the 1.5 year period? and can u recommend a shoe tree with a tight fit? thanks
Nice one , thanks for posting .
