Superior Alternatives to the Iron Ranger

[@MikeThePike316]

@@Orlanzepol123 - Bc the boots compared to the Iron Rangers are significantly more expensive. Imagine someone said, "Hey, your $2,000 Ford Pinto is quality, but this $200,000 Ferrari is just as good in quality." The inference is that the Iron Rangers must be quality if they're comparable to a handcrafted boot that's cost hundreds of dollars more.

[@nikeisagreekgoddess4135]

@@MikeThePike316 I'd say you are misinterpreting the "inference" they are actually making. The comparison doesn't exist because the IRs are as good as the other boots. The leverage of the IRs comes from its popularity and history, which have very little to do with their actual quality. The IRs are the trendsetters, but the other boots are far more sophisticated, customizable and durable, which is their leverage.

A Camry you could get this used beater camry that'll get the job done for 2000 dollars or you could get a this other camry that will have good tires and rims, less asthetic defects etc for 4,000 or 6,000.

Carl, I’m going to apologize if several people of already made this comment, as I wasn’t going to go through 480 comments to check it out but one mistake was describing the Wesco boots as being in the same area as Spokane’s -Nick‘s, or whites. Wesco is in Scappoose, Oregon. Basically right across the river here from Portland. Thanks for the list, been a contractor for going on 40 years now, and while I have different tools for different jobs I have different boots for different situations/applications.

[@hejdingamleraev]

Even though the iron ranger has many similarities to these other boots, they are not really in the same category. Partially because of the style of the boot, some of the others being more dressy and partially because of the price tag. And even though some of the other boots may be better looking boots, the clown toe, which makes the IR look less "pretty", also makes it look more masculine which I think is what many guys (and girls) who buy the IR is looking for. I like the video because many other youtubers makes it sound like the IR is the best quality boot around. There are more good looking boots, there are boots with higher quality leather and craftmanship, and there are definitely better (real) workboots. The IR is what it is and it speaks to a lot of people, me being one of them, but it is not the best boot around in any sort of way.

[@pattgsm]

Det svenska tältet - Agreed. Imo RW heritage line are good quality boots that often are available for less than retail. They look great for what they are and you don't get bent out of shape if they happen to take a beating.

[@jeffdutcher3676]

pattgsm Agreed i have been wanting to get some other higher quality ones, however the reality is you go out of the house in rain tall wet grass , dirt road and that happens to a $1000 pair of boots your going to be freaking out. The redwings you’re just like oh well i will clean them later no biggie.

[@el34glo59]

Red wing makes some seriously good boots. That's all I know. See I actually use my boots for work and my heritage Roughnecks are some of the best work boots I've ever owned. You don't have to get a model that says work boot to use it for work. Unless you're looking for steel toe. I mean these things are the epitome of work boots. They're designed after them. Built like tanks, one of the most rugged vibram soles out there and water just pours off of these things so they're basically waterproof. Especially with the tounge design. Now imo as a walk around boot and for dress, the IR not only looks almost perfect but it's definitely built more then rugged enough. You're not gonna wear out an IR from regular use. So while I encourage looking at other brands, I think the IR is well worth it

[@jessevstheworld5087]

There's something about the Iron Ranger's silhouette/shape that is so much more appealing than these others.

[@gerry2893]

Want to get a pair but some reviews on the RW site say don't. Why? Because they don't stand behind their boots saying they are NOT work boots but fashion boots so wear and tear is on you. Still may get them but will consider some of these 1st now.

He didn't even go into the territory of bespoke boots, either. With a bespoke boot (or shoe), they make the last custom for you, which is a weeks long process where the shoemaker measures your feet (both of them, since they are usually slightly different), meets with you to discuss your desires for the boots/shoes, and makes a trial pair for you to try on before making the final boot. The whole thing will run you $5,000 (for a shoe) up to $10,000 (for a boot) or even more. The result, though, is a shoe or boot that fits your feet absolutely perfectly.

Frank's has a few dress/light duty options that compare to the Iron Ranger such as the Front Range, Wilshire, and High Country. These go from the low $425 to $500 price range. He uses 7oz-8oz leather for the upper construction as well. I'm probably going to order an 8" High Country boot later this summer.

Why this matters to me is once you get up to 500 plus you are now on bespoke area and as long as this is a nearby option for your I cant imagine why you wouldn't want to have custom made and fitted boots for you over anything mass produced.

I appreciate your content. I like my Iron Rangers, but I find myself reaching for the Thursday Captains more often because the Iron Rangers are so casual/work boot and I do like the slightly higher heel.

What about the Corcoran jump boot

[@splashpit]

I have a pair of these and they are fantastic and I'm pretty sure they were cheaper than anything on this list .

Great boots and often overlooked

[@rob060]

I got a pair of White's Bounty Hunters for work 4 years ago, using them 40+ hours a week. They were expensive but they lasted this long and only now needed a resole. Sent them to White's, paid $150 and got them back in less than 2 weeks. That up front cost keeps you from having to buy new boots in the future.

Another great review Carl . For people with wider feet the Dayton Service boot also has some great options @ ~$530.. I own the Nubuck and they're the most comfortable boot in my closet.

I can see why The Iron Ranger is so popular. They just look better than all these boots. Even though they don’t have the high quality features.

Your videos hurt my bank account so bad.
