Break-In
Have some patina on the upper having warn raw denim. Leather is very soft and no breaking in is required. Not very durable as a few scuffs went a litter deeper than they should have.

Satisfied with the Fit
Insoles were crap out of the box. $70 or so for some new better ones from Red Wing. I probably could have found cheaper but it was convenient.

A Red Wing Retrospective
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Amber HarnessBy nikolanottesla • October 13, 2025"For many of us, Red Wing (particularly the Iron Ranger) serves as the gateway drug into this hobby. I never expected my first pair of welted boots to spark what became an adult scavenger hunt for rare and interesting footwear. But despite the numerous pairs that have cycled through my collection (some far more expensive than these), this pair has stayed put. And likely always will.
Calling them a "starter boot" feels like an understatement of just how strong a value proposition they offer. Excellent materials and unmatched quality of construction at this price point. Red Wings are the mid-90s base-model Lexus of the boot world. Relatively affordable with some (but minimal) flash, built with an unwavering commitment to quality and function. Rock-solid dependability. You can upgrade, sure, but that's a matter of choice rather than necessity; you could be perfectly content owning these as your sole (ha!) pair of high-end welted footwear for life.
I picked these up from the flagship store in Minnesota during one of the toughest professional stretches of my life. In hindsight, I think planning that drive and debating which model to buy helped pull me through some of the worst of it. Since then, they've been everywhere with me: on trips, through milestones, through change.
They don't see much wear these days, maybe a few times a year. But I still like having them prominently displayed on my footwear shelf as a quiet reminder of where all this fun (see: insanity) started...."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
