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
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.
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 !!!
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!
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.
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!
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?
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.
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! 🤪
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... 😆
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.
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 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. 😆
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.
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
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.
Any chance you could do a video on treating the spitfire leather? Do you wax? Oil? Re-wax?
That's a good looking boot. Love the extras in the editing...lol.
😆 thank you
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.
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!

Yes, I size down in the Iron Ranger.

The Blacksmith is a perfect introduction to the Red Wing Heritage brand 🤘🏽
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.
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.

beautiful!!, I don't need these , but I NEED THESE!!!
Congratulations on the amazing boots.
Thank you Abdul

I am closer to 80 pairs now!
Nice! How many more IRs do you need to complete the collection?
4590
Those are BAD!!!!!! Grats brotha!!!
Thank you
cj is the Chelsea weekender being discontinued?
No, not that I am aware of.
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.
Which Ranger do you have?
Thank you Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

@@BourbonNeophyte 8113s were my first Rangers. Love Hawthorne Muleskinner
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
Awesome boot bud! Still some out there we can find? Looking for a black boot and these are perfect
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.

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
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.
100% Great Boot Brother, Amazing review per normal..
that's crazy dope boot
Thank you!
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

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.
Here we go again....see now you need the RW Bordeaux spitfire...You do it to yourself CJ!
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.
Holy shit this one is AWESOME! #TRIPLESTITCH
Thank you
knew it!
Is this a reverse waxed Leather
yes, correct.
I think Iron Ranger is RW best looking boot.
where's the shirt from?
Hey Tom,
My shirt is from Scotch and Soda
Did you make a video of the resole of the 8866 ? @cjcook
sick dude
Thanks Alfredo.
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 🔥🔥
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!
Hahaha! Yeah, I have around 80 pairs
@@CJCook So you need 80 lives to wear them all out!
The black harness looks better.
What??? To each their own I guess 🤷♂️
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
insane in the membrane
There cool yes leave the mini lug sole
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
They need to make spitfire comeback sooo bad
Word
This entire video has nothing but fire boots
Thank you!!
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.
😂😂😂😂😂😂Man.....you a fool.😂😂😂 Uuh, show some EMOTION. Those are cold blooded maine.
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.
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. 😆
I want.
I pack Art this is over kill pack job but glad there safe
Me too!
man does red wing sponsor u ? u have so many of their boots hahaha
No... but they should! I do a lot promoting for the rascals.
He looks more like Carlos Camacho
MUSTACHE
Guess you are all done buying anymore footwear.
bad guess :-)
Nope 😜
How much u get them for?
Ooo, many pennies.
are they even legal, CJ? your mustache totally fooled me.... i expected some kind of i've come to fix your fridge kinda sh......
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 :)
