![]() As such, they’re still extremely durable – Heritage or not!įor the sake of this Red Wing Iron Ranger Review and being concise, this is the last time you’ll hear us reference the Heritage as part of the boot’s name! That means that while they’re not safety tested for factory work and don’t have shock-absorbing insoles or electrical shock-resistant outsoles, they’re still made from the company’s beloved thick, full-grain leather and have become a favorite of men across the globe.

Nowadays, the Iron Ranger is no longer worn in mines. You may even find that some people refer to these as the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger boots. You’ll notice these are under the Heritage section on the Red Wing store.

The eyelets are a shiny nickel on this model with three sets of convenient speed hooks at the top. Outside of the toe cap, the rest of the boot is triple-stitched with wax threads, and I found no loose threads.

While it’s great with a flannel or a t-shirt, I don’t think it dresses up very easily - they’d look ludicrous with a tie. The toe cap lends it a rounder, more bulbous look than competing models like the Wolverine 1000 Mile. The defining feature is the toecap, which is attached over the shoe’s body with a dual double stitch along the foot’s break. Note that my boots darkened with conditioning - yours will be lighter!
