Most comfortable boots i own.

Its like there a custom pair of boots made exactly to your foot

For the price, they can add a leather midsole.

While it's a shame that maintaining the colour seems to be near-impossible, they've developed their own kind of beauty to make up for it and still look great. I really appreciate that about quality clothing items, the more I learn and experience them myself.

By the way, I’m originally from Philly, but never been to Easton. I’m also a big boxing fan and recall Larry Holmes being from that area. I enjoyed the tour. Great NE landscape . . .

Great job! I’m an owner of the Juice Scorpion and have decided to upgrade my battery to the 52V, 19.2 amp version. I’ve had my bike for a little over 4 years and currently have the same battery as you do. I’ve decided that I need more range. Thanks for your video. 😮

Fellow 998 enthusiast here. I got my first pair in 2017, and after moderate, occasional wear, my shoes at 7 years of use look like yours. I think that's probably just from the different frequencies of wear and also feet shape. Mine have been chewed on by a puppy, and I've done yard work in them, worn in the rain, day walks, etc. I definitely hear you on the clunkiness, I think that is the other side of how durable they are, compared to the 574s. My soles have held up like yours in the video, and still make a crisp dress shoe sound when I walk on hard surfaces. These could probably last another 5 years or more if you had to make them last. I got a new pair of 998s I am rotating only for nights out, etc. I'd imagine you really enjoyed wearing yours daily, maybe in workshop type settings during the first year or two. Tough shoes, with great design and value!

Just wear them!!! Rain, sun and frost, stop worrying lol

Red wing quality control is still down , what a shame .

I love these IR with the rough out leather. I have a pair also & treated mine with a homemade balm thats mostly tallow, a bit of lard & a bit of bees wax along with a few drops of tea tree oil as an antibacterial. I applied on the “inside” & then heated them up with a hairdryer to soak it in. It ddint change the colour much at all. Theyre still going strong many years later.

I went to the local Red Wing store and tried on IR's - no dice for me! Went home and ordered Truman Boots for not much more $. Very happy now. IR's are good, but there are much better options that are local American companies and not corporations. I love my Trumans!

Can't beat a well worn in patina, they look absolutely fantastic.

Lens size?

I'm interested in your boot tree update. 😅

Looks like you weared a wrong size up, that’s why a hole on top

The more you wear the better they look, I’d love to bury my face in those.

Thank you so much for the video. I have been more convinced that the iron ranger is NOT the boot for me. In between the sloppy / loose fit and the dangerously slick sole, these boots are a complete waste of $350. They look pretty, however they are less functional than a screen door on a submarine. The way that these clunky bricks make it difficult for your to shift gears looks absolutely cumbersome too. Thank you for saving me $350.

Dude the quality of these shoes (USA) is on par with versace and LV high end shoes!!! I'm happy I have the purple colorway

I have two of them for dress up one in black and brown they go well with suits. And white loging boots for working

really want a pair but in the uk it rains alot so not sure cant choose between these or the 1907 moc

Any competent cobbler can resole your Clarks Desert Mali boots w/ stitchdown construction. There are even a few YT videos showing Desert Mali with better soles like the Dainite...

Can’t wait to get my filthy, put a bit a history of my own on them

MADE IN USA

Hey there! How are the shoes going on? :-)

How bro talked about sitting on his glasses kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XIZZiZeLGDm80si=Gxsi8MbzScnNRc6Y

They are work boots. Shitty ones. No one in the real world hikes in work boots. What a moron. Buy hiking boots and review them not Redwing...again. In real world we buy boots for purpose. Shitty useless review.

After cleaning the suede,nubuck boots with Saphir cleaner or Angelus easy cleaner,once the boots are dry,the leather will become hard and crunchy,thats cuz of the type of the leather. So you have to use a hard brush to revive and raise the nap,and they will be good as a new.

I heard, you are not suppose to wear your IR every day because the leather needs a day to breath. Helps prevent molding and smell. I am not an expert though :)

I watched your range test video and it convinced me to purchase a crosscurrent x. Mine came with a dented rim…. Same symptoms, several loose spokes. I thought it was a bubble in the tube, but I found a crease at one of the spoke nipples. Hardly can see it but annoyingly noticeable on the 2 minute ride I took :( I have been in contact with juiced and hoping for the best.

my hawthorne muleksinners are my favorite by far. so comfortable. i recently bought a pair of the copper and holy shit is there such a big difference. They're so incredibly stiff, even more so than the amber harness i have.

Having come from Converse Chucks, my Iron Rangers weren’t as bad to break in as they might have been otherwise.

That extra wear on your right shoe is likely from driving, in case that wasn’t commented sooner (I couldn’t find it)

I am a couple of months into my Iron rangers. The brake in period was pretty intense for me, had a couple of hot spots. But now that I’ve broken them in they are a dream. I can relate to what you said about the individualisation of the boots, you look forward to wearing them.

did your feet hurt after hiking?

hi, where did you get the shoe trees you put inside the boots?

I have 1,100 plus miles on mine, I tried to take off the back tire and it was hard to do even though I have worked on bikes for many years there is a sensor in the very near the back wheel that has a tiny cable attached to it, the wires are very thin and easy to brake so be very careful with it, it is a very poor design and looks like it is designed to fail, the part that is needed to replace it costs $200.00 and last time I checked it was out of stock so apparently many people have had the problem, I can't recommend buying from Juiced because they don't care about the problems they cause bikers it seems but are more interested in making more money it seems to me. if you have the wires break the bike will still work with the throttle but it drains the battery a lot more quickly.

Have you ever cleaned them?

buy some good socks. not double socks. research some good socks or just buy red wing socks. it will not dissappoind

Why do people use such a small brush to clean with? That is for the welt area. Use a bigger brush and really scrub them, they will look far better!

Its a bit tragic if you can't wear boots in the rain. 😂

I need a key

Hey it’s been a while since you last posted some videos….. Do you still have the Iron Rangers?

I have the same boot, but with the original smooth sole. I have had them for 6 years now. They are my go to boot. I love them, tho they are not a winter boot by any stretch of the imagination. I have Danner Fort worth for winter. My IR,s will out last me.

Finally someone reviews these with proper wear. Most of the videos on KZbin, it’s just so guy who wears them around the city. Instead of for work our outdoors stuff. To me, these aren’t fashion boots. These are old school work boots, so they should be reviewed as such

Nice to see someone who actually wears his boots

I bought a pair of IR Hawthorne Muleskinners this past weekend. I was on the fence about whether to keep them, how to maintain them, what the roughout might look like once it gets dirty. I appreciate you stating "This is what MY boots look like..." This is very important to consider since you wore yours every day. Mine will look totally different since I will not wear them daily, live a more sedentary lifestyle, plan to try to keep them clean, etc. Your review has persuaded me to keep them. Your IRs look well loved. Thank you!

After 1.5 years, nearly daily at work, in my IR, i found the soles to be too hard. I walk on steel decks and concrete all day. I had them resoled to Vibram Christy wedge soles this month. I now see RW started offering this sole (tread lite) in IR a year ago as well. Its a game changer in all day comfort. $75 and yiur local cobbler can resole them. Or go through RW and they'll change you double for the same sole and probably have the same cobbler do them. 😂 im pretty sure they contract out their resoleing

Hey!!!! Waiting for an update!!!

how many miles do u reckon uve walked in them in the 1.5 year period? and can u recommend a shoe tree with a tight fit? thanks

made in italy?
