These loggers are comfortable from day one wearing and Briar Oil slick leather has such great look.

My most versatile pair of boots. Perfect fit, heavy enough for work and light enough for travel.
Red Wing Irish Setter Sport Boot 877 in S.B. Foot Oro Russet AbileneBy MuttBarker • April 5, 2026"Carpentry work and adventuring. They are rare boots so I haven't worn on demo days but pushed them plenty. I feel like I could wear these in any situation, how well they fit plays a part in that...."Read the full review

Amazing experience
Red Wing Pecos in S.B. Foot Hawthorne MuleskinnerBy winters_8 • April 4, 2026"I used my Pecos for literally everything, from walking to riding my bicycle or motorcycle or even teaching kickboxing classes. There was not a time where I went outside and was not wearing them. Did a few hikes in them, did some outdoor work in them, sewn clothes in them, used them for work. In my area we have experienced some snow, lots of rain and some pretty hot days...."Read the full review

Red Wing x Indian Motorcycle Spirit Lake in Redwing Amber Portage LeatherBy hosekileather • April 2, 2026"These went to work, in the truck, on the motorcycle, in the office and across a mix of terrain and historical buildings. We had hot, wet, snow, extreme cold and crazy weather from fall to spring. Walking anywhere from 1-9 km per day on average, these collaboration, now no longer made, 8" tall motorcycle boots are just what my soul ordered. They have broken in very well and treated me nicely...."Read the full review

Love my Iron Ranger in Amber Harness!
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Amber HarnessBy MichaelCarpenter • April 5, 2024"While at work I have worn these while getting a new chiller operational, and ended up splashing around in a lot of water. The Vibram mini lug sole with no slip features was very helpful. I also moved vacuum pumps to my shop for maintenance. I spend a lot of time at my desk writing software, or working on electronic equipment that is malfunctioning. I went on a trip to Michigan where I was able to do some hiking in the snow and cold. They performed very well. I could have used some slightly thicker socks though. Traction was very good in the snow as well...."Read the full review

An ultra-rare, ultra-cool pair of Iron Rangers
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Oro HarnessBy scratch.awl • April 3, 2024"Not only were these boots a special commemorative release, they were only available as a giveaway, not for purchase. I was one of the lucky few who were chosen to get a pair when they were announced in the fall of 2022. I kept them on my shelf for the following year before entering them into the Thunderdome.
While Red Wing’s construction is fairly barebones (no midsoles in these!), I personally have found the 8 last to be one of the most comfortable for my feet, and I always enjoyed the chance to throw these boots on. I wore a second pair for the contest, but I found myself favoring these Iron Rangers a lot more.
The leather is quite an intriguing fusion between Amber Harness and Oro Legacy. It has a much darker, more caramel-y color than Oro Legacy does, but it still manages to retain that leather’s vibrant orange-sunset undertones, giving it a more lively appearance in comparison to Red Wing’s Copper Rough and Tough, for example.
I don’t think anyone will notice at first glance that these aren’t your typical Iron Rangers, but there’s a lot of unique character in this leather that I will continue to enjoy as it evolves even more...."Read the full review
A solid makeup with a classic silhouette
Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Copper Rough and ToughBy scratch.awl • April 3, 2024"I really enjoyed wearing these, and greatly prefer the 45 last as opposed to the 23 last that Red Wing uses for the rest of their moc toe boots. More 45 last releases please, Red Wing!..."Read the full review
