These are my everyday day boots, running errands, getting groceries, going on dates, mowing the lawn. If I’m not at work, I’m wearing them.
Some say there is a break in period to Iron Rangers. But I didn’t notice a break in period, they were comfortable the moment I bought them. I haven’t oiled them yet or done any maintenance other than brush them off with a boot brush every month for pictures.
I typically wear a 8.5D but they recommend going down to an 8 when I was in the store. I absolutely agree with them.
The design is a classic design, I wouldn’t change anything, other than maybe the contrasting stitch, but that is a personal preference and not a design flaw.
It’s a good sole, has good traction, very durable. Shown little wear over the past 6 months
I highly recommend a pair of Iron Rangers to add to anyone's boot collection. If you are on the fence or waiting to buy some, I recommend just getting them. They definitely get better with time, and the more time you spend thinking about it, the less time they could have on your feet.
