Very nice pair of boots man. The texture is what does it for these. Good thinking on keeping the mini lug sole considering that these are a special pair. I’m eyeing the black harness and amber harness Iron Ranger. Later.
Dang man those are sooo nice. The spitfire mix of shine and dull, rugged/dress on suede is so awesome. Congrats!! I like your videos a lot by the way, I recently gotten into wearing red wings myself. I work in shoe repair but I also make shoes and boots. I just don’t have time to make myself boots these days so I get the next best things... Red Wing’s 😎
CJ Cook thank you man, if we could get a few of red wing uppers and lasts I could make them with hand sewn welted leather insoles, but I’m not sure that’s possible. Anyway those are sick!
I bought my first pair of Iron Rangers about a month ago I every day I feel more like becoming a collector in the future. I know there are great brands out there (I personally wanna try out Grant Stone Brass and Alden Indy) but Red Wings are my new love.
those are definitely the best looking pair of black red wing boots I have seen... what do you suggest for a more accessible pair of black red wing boots? Im not sure I should keep wearing my 8111's everyday lol
i don't have any red wing boots but i want a pair now, i think i'll start with a pair of Blacksmiths in Oxblood if they are available, Great Review !!!
Love the 4545s. I just picked up a used pair. Do you go down a size for your IRs? I have IRs which I went down a full size, down a half size and even using my true size. But each pair seem to fit well.
If you wear the boot everyday (which is not good for your feet) it will take a week. If you wear the boot on and off it will take 3 weeks. Depending on the leather I will wear the boot in the rain and step in puddles and get the boot nice and wet which helps with the break-in.
@@CJCook thanks for the instantaneous reply. So I reckon ~10 wearings should do it. That doesn't sound that bad as others make it seem. About to get me my first pair of RWs, the iconic 875s. Love your channel and passion for RW. Cheers!
At first I thought that was a bit of an over reaction. But then I thought, if I get my "Holy Grail" boot, the Beckman Flatbox 9060, I'd probably lose my sh#t too. Congrats on the acquisition.
CJ, a man who knows what he likes. I’m pretty partial to my Klondike Irish Setters, but man! These boots look SSSSSSSIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK! Wow! There absolutely stunning! You’re up to about 70 pair? These are definitely worthy of your #1 spot! Time to subscribe to your channel!
Damn! Nice boots! Those r perfect motorcycle boots! I just scored a pair of Billy Boots! While I was at the store I also bought a new pair of Black Iron Ranges! My wife thinks I’m nuts! 🤪
Congratulation with your holy grail boots. I am really jealous. I am from Denmark, and I have tried to get my hands on theese boots, but no luck yet. I have three pairs of the Iron Ranger. 8085, 8114 and 8083. But you can never get too many boots, can you? 😄 Where the hell did you find them?
Really nice boot CJ. I have been thinking about adding another pair of Iron Rangers to my collection, I just haven't decided on what color. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
@@CJCook I have the 8085's. Walked right out of Red Wing with them. I am thinking about getting the 8083's. They look great and I may pick them up on Saturday. Red Wing emailed me a 20% off coupon yesterday, so it is tempting.
Those are nice. But do you know about the Red Wing 4313 “Spirit Lake” collab with Indian Motorcycles? They are essentially 8-inch Iron Rangers in Amber Portage w/a Vibram 430 outsole. There’s a cool Indian logo embossed on the heel. I dig these and may pick up a pair to add to my collection. I’ll pass on the Lion King reenactment though... 😆
congrats bro, I just got my hands on another pair of Beckmans and a pair of Sheldon. when I found out they are out the door I began my search and succeed.
I really dig those boots and I'm happy for you bro. I love your western shirts too. What brand is that black one you're wearing, and can you recommend some other brands? Thanks for the content and feedback.) I'm Dedani and I'm a boot!
Hello Dendani, The shirt I am wearing is from Scotch and Soda. I own a lot of Levis western style shirts. They are reasonably priced and have a good fit.
I think the 2964 Coopers and the Alden Indy boots look a little alike. I don’t like the moc toe stitching on the Alden because it’s just decorative thread sawn on . The leather in between the two rows of threading isn’t raised like it’s usually done. Looks ugly. 😆
Man - are you collecting these shoes? How many Red Wing shoes do you own? You might need more than one life to wear one out! But nevertheless, great reviews!
I see you incorporate the over and under left/right alternate lacing haha I'm not a huge fan of the "Vee-Brumm" mini lugged sole. But sometimes the original "Crayp" sole needs to go I suppose :)
I don't normally go for black boots, but those and the Blacksmith in the Spitfire look awesome.
they once made a merchant with this leather. That would have the chance of becoming my favorite. What a shame they dont do them anymore.
Just found a pair of these yesterday and didn’t know what they were. Now I’m heading back to the store!
CJ, let me know if you’re in the market for anything and I can send you the info of the store I found here.
Very nice pair of boots man. The texture is what does it for these. Good thinking on keeping the mini lug sole considering that these are a special pair. I’m eyeing the black harness and amber harness Iron Ranger. Later.
Thank you.
Great classic leathers: Black Harness & Amber Harness -- They both age beautifully
That's a good looking boot. Love the extras in the editing...lol.
😆 thank you
Any chance you could do a video on treating the spitfire leather? Do you wax? Oil? Re-wax?
Dang man those are sooo nice. The spitfire mix of shine and dull, rugged/dress on suede is so awesome. Congrats!!
I like your videos a lot by the way, I recently gotten into wearing red wings myself. I work in shoe repair but I also make shoes and boots. I just don’t have time to make myself boots these days so I get the next best things... Red Wing’s 😎
That is really cool. I would love to design a boot.
CJ Cook thank you man, if we could get a few of red wing uppers and lasts I could make them with hand sewn welted leather insoles, but I’m not sure that’s possible. Anyway those are sick!

Welcome!
Holy sheeeeeat. They are siiiick. They came from London? How did I not see these. That texture. That hardware. I'm a mess. Congratulations.
Thank you!
I found these on eBay. They were from a U.S. seller.
those are definitely the best looking pair of black red wing boots I have seen... what do you suggest for a more accessible pair of black red wing boots? Im not sure I should keep wearing my 8111's everyday lol
i don't have any red wing boots but i want a pair now, i think i'll start with a pair of Blacksmiths in Oxblood if they are available, Great Review !!!
The Blacksmith is a perfect introduction to the Red Wing Heritage brand 🤘🏽
Love the 4545s. I just picked up a used pair. Do you go down a size for your IRs? I have IRs which I went down a full size, down a half size and even using my true size. But each pair seem to fit well.
Nice! Well done.
Yes, I size down in the Iron Ranger.
I was dying when you added your extra voice overs during the Lion King part lmaoo
Hahaha!
Oh good, Lion King. I was thinking something else.
Congratulations on the amazing boots.
Thank you Abdul
beautiful!!, I don't need these , but I NEED THESE!!!
Can u do a video of those 8866 after the resole ?
I had them at the Red Wing shop and they sold them.
@@CJCook I have a pair and I was wondering what kind of resole you did i really like the color but I don’t like the wedge sole
@@JC_ORTIZ I did the chemigum sole on the boots
Those are BAD!!!!!! Grats brotha!!!
Thank you
How many full wearings is the average break in time on a typical RW boot?
If you wear the boot everyday (which is not good for your feet) it will take a week. If you wear the boot on and off it will take 3 weeks. Depending on the leather I will wear the boot in the rain and step in puddles and get the boot nice and wet which helps with the break-in.

cj is the Chelsea weekender being discontinued?
No, not that I am aware of.
Did you make a video of the resole of the 8866 ? @cjcook

I am closer to 80 pairs now!
Awesome boot bud! Still some out there we can find? Looking for a black boot and these are perfect
What makes this boot different from the blacksmith spitfires?
It is an Iron Ranger
CJ Cook hahaha.
@@CJCook lol not sure how to respond you got me
Nice! How many more IRs do you need to complete the collection?
4590
Hi. Love Your Videos. Great Boot. How do you clean or condition them? Your Very Lucky!
I usually follow the Red Wing guidelines. Sometimes I will stray but for the most part I stick with RW.
Damn! Nice boots! Those r perfect motorcycle boots!
I just scored a pair of Billy Boots! While I was at the store I also bought a new pair of Black Iron Ranges! My wife thinks I’m nuts! 🤪

Yes, I am aware of them. I passed on them. They don't make half sizes. Also, they are still available which is a bad sign.
damn, i'm a brown boots kinda guy. Own the Iron Ranger 8011 amber harness, but damn those black ones look pretty cool
Thank you
These ar ethe sexiest RW boot, but now, if the make a black spitfireengineer with the nitrile cork sole. ooh weee
Yo! That would be 🔥🔥
where's the shirt from?
Hey Tom,
My shirt is from Scotch and Soda
congrats bro, I just got my hands on another pair of Beckmans and a pair of Sheldon. when I found out they are out the door I began my search and succeed.
Bro you can put your own red wing store now. With all them boots 😂👏 you have all the hard to find one's.
I certainly could have a show room
that's crazy dope boot
Thank you!
Holy shit this one is AWESOME! #TRIPLESTITCH
Thank you
Awesome! 😃
The black harness looks better.
What??? To each their own I guess 🤷♂️
Here we go again....see now you need the RW Bordeaux spitfire...You do it to yourself CJ!
Is this a reverse waxed Leather
yes, correct.
I really dig those boots and I'm happy for you bro.
I love your western shirts too.
What brand is that black one you're wearing, and can you recommend some other brands? Thanks for the content and feedback.)
I'm Dedani and I'm a boot!
Hello Dendani,
The shirt I am wearing is from Scotch and Soda.
I own a lot of Levis western style shirts. They are reasonably priced and have a good fit.
What's the deal with six hundred sixty six? That makes me kinda bummed about Red Wing.
Just being cheeky rascals...but yes a
head-scratcher.
I think Iron Ranger is RW best looking boot.
if you want to step up your resole game you need to have Brian the Bootmaker do some Role Club magic on a pair of RW.
willyb you don’t resole new Boots you break em in and vibrant sole are great the best maybe when they worn out you send em in

This entire video has nothing but fire boots
Thank you!!
There cool yes leave the mini lug sole
sick dude
Thanks Alfredo.
How much u get them for?
Ooo, many pennies.
😂😂😂😂😂😂Man.....you a fool.😂😂😂 Uuh, show some EMOTION. Those are cold blooded maine.
They need to make spitfire comeback sooo bad

Man - are you collecting these shoes? How many Red Wing shoes do you own? You might need more than one life to wear one out! But nevertheless, great reviews!

@@CJCook So you need 80 lives to wear them all out!
Something tells me you have many more grail boots waiting to be found.
Not too many. I have one more with me now which I have yet to review.

Me too!

No... but they should! I do a lot promoting for the rascals.
I see you incorporate the over and under left/right alternate lacing haha I'm not a huge fan of the "Vee-Brumm" mini lugged sole. But sometimes the original "Crayp" sole needs to go I suppose :)
Guess you are all done buying anymore footwear.
