Those are for hipsters not workers

love the watch u wearing. can u send me link

I visited my local Red Wing store about a month ago. It had been awhile. Used the machine thing for sizing and tried a couple styles: IR and Blacksmith. Hard no from me. Comfort, materials and styling are average at best. This is not my first go round. I have broken in boots before. That was not the issue. Went home and ordered a pair of Trumans in Dark Coyote Rough Out. I am so glad I did. Night and day difference. I even prefer my Allen Edmonds...Lol and those cost $200 on sale/Military discount. Please support non corporation, made in America boot companies. Everyone and their pet cat picks up Iron Rangers and then they end up on eBay. Look at Truman, Nicks, White's, Viberg or even Grant Stone (CHINA!!! Lol). All much better quality and styling. My apologies for the rant. Please note these are my opinions based on real world experience. I gave Red Wing the benefit of the doubt and will not be looking back for a second.

You must have my exact taste in boots 😂 I have a pair of African rangers and 2 pairs of iron rangers. Really love the looks of the numzaan and after wearing my African rangers while my iron rangers are being resoled I’ve been debating on some numzaans

Are you wearing 2 wristwatches? I just noticed. Lol 👍

Hi which leather band is this ? Thanks

great

The JG custom shop is AWESOME. I have a pair of buffalo Rangers and a custom pair of barefoot buffaloes. That stuff is bulletproof but a bit stiff. I break in my boots (that need breaking in) by filling them with water (remove any insoles first) and wearing them with thick wool socks until dry. Repeat if needed (I have only had to repeat it on one pair).

Just received the numzaan boot in walnut with frog grip soleI love it very well built boot very comfortable how do feel about the sole s longevity

I own both. To me the numzaan is a more comfortable boot to break in. The leather on the numzaan is thicker and does require a bit of time to shape to your foot, not to much though. Numzaan is much more comfortable to walk, hike in than iron rangers. The sole comfort is night and day. I hate to say it, but my numzaans are my first choice over my beloved iron rangers for any serious walking, especially in the country/woods where I live.

I swear you yanks think the world revolves around you. The Jim green is not a “heritage” boot. It’s a South African boot.

The iron ranger is probably equally as thick, however not having the liner makes an impact. The big diff is the leather, the SB foot leather is jam packed with stuffed oils. That helps with the break in. VEG tan takes some time to break in.

I love my Iron Rangers, they look great, but the soles of my feet feel bruised after a full day of wearing them. I don’t want to put insoles in because I want them to mould to my feet, but after 8 months I’m wondering if they ever will. Have your insoles moulded yet?

Nice video comparison. What do you think about sizing between the two boots. In regard to stichdown I understand its harder to resole. What are your thoughts on this.

I manage a red wing in Baton Rouge and I always appreciate the feedback from these reviews. I’ve always used the tech as a starting point but with heritage I like to start with the Brannock. Last number 8 is one of red wings oldest lasts so I like to use older measuring devices for those boots built on older lasts. But it sounds like that device needs a recalibration. When there is a huge discrepancy like that between the measurement and what the customer typically wears, I will grab the Brannock just to confirm. My joke is that the Brannock never needs an update and the numbers are exactly where they were when I left the day before. I use the tech as a tool and not a hard and fast rule. I’ve only used it as a starting point and make adjustments as needed. I’m glad you landed on a good fit and feel free to use me as a resource anytime.

This was a very good comparison. I own both boots and I agree with you.

This is the video i need. Numzaan looks like my next buy

Did you have to go up a size on the more narrow last compared to the wide rangers? I want to get a pair but am a little worried about the narrow last.

I’d take them on a rougher environment like a quick walk over a rough place, let the sole wear a little and the squeaking should go… atleast that’s what happened with my AR8s

Amazing watches

👍👍👏

Cool watch! Good luck with your channel progress!

I have the same bag in pebbled grain leather. I agree with everything you said about your bag. It's a solid work messenger bag. Yes the way the straps are connected to the back of the bag is puzzling.

Thanks for the video, I just ordered one. Needed the video to confirm that looks even better than the land turtle it pays homage

I see Jim Green COLLECTION I click. Lol great video!

I own 9 pairs of RW boots....sort of addicted I guess, but Im getting ready for the next step up(pun intended) and starting my GS and Truman collection this year. I will always love RW and will keep a few of them around as my journey continues...great overview and thanks for an interesting vid. Subscribing//troutbumandsam

You lost me at 39mm

Told you i would find your page

I got iron rangers true to size and I’d definitely go down a half size next time. They’re fine with thick socks though and I love them but the vibram wears down quick. Had them 12 years now and about to resolve for a third time. Amber harness colour but I darkened them too much with mink oil. Enjoy your boots.

Looks sharp.

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

Do they do these limited editions every year?

Sorry man, but an exact copy/clomage of the Seiko Land Tortoise is just hot garbage. Your reviewing a dive style watch and you don't know how to use the compass bezel then you say you don't know how to use the timer bezel on dive watch. SMH

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.

$250. Why? They probably paid $5 somebody in South Africa to make them.

Best looking one yet? The steam is the problem with hot water...

Hot showers usually deform the gaskets. That is why it is never advised to have hot showers with a waterproof watch.

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.

Nice watch, sometimes chinese manufacturers can do really good things at a good price point

They look better with a leather midsole and heel stack. Especially with something like Vibram 100 sole

Are these construction boots?

amazing video i love it

Never heard of them thanks for the info, big fan of Truman’s, but a zero drop boot may be an interesting option, been running in altra torins for 6 years now, could be the way, thanks!

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.

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.

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 Charlie

I just ordered my second pair of custom JG boots. Super value ❤

Iron ranger is not available in my country. Maybe through Ebay but I dont want to mess up the sizing. Love your review

Can you comment on the decision to get double lasting in your custom pair, and the differences in feel, weight, and performance vs the standard version you’ve been wearing?

I have a pair of Barefoot African Ranges in Huston Brown. With wear and brushing they don't look nubuck anymore, lol. Not polished or matte either. Something between. Anyway, I want a second pair in the new Bronco leather. Thanks for the upload, I enjoyed you sharing your boots with us.
