I Just Made The Iconic Iron Ranger 8111 More Comfortable Than Ever

[@Ahmad-iu8dq]

Man you're an artist, your work is astonishing.

[@brianblack8667]

I've watched a lot of boot resole videos and you are one of the best out there.

[@kellyb9432]

Beautiful! It's too soon to resole my IRs but I would prefer a softer outsole. Whittier is close enough to make the drive, you might just get a visit from this gringo in the 805.

[@jeffloucks2120]

Those mini-lugs on the more current IR's are so hard under foot. Would love to do this to my charcoal r & t's in the future.

[@camarocarl7130]

They are the most uncomfortable boots I own. Putting Dr Shoal inserts helps but they still suck.

[@CCrazyA]

I think they made the sole harder for soft surface work. I work on dirt and mud all day and they are the most comfortable shoes I've bought so far.

[@jeffloucks2120]

@@CCrazyA Could see that.

[@Thaib0xer69]

Excellent combination for an awesome looking resole!!!!!!!!!

[@4231magd]

Another outstanding rebuild!!!

[@minfilipino]

I want to send some Iron Rangers in for recrafting. What’s turn around time. The work you do is amazing

[@cradd7108]

Thats a nice looking combo, I love my IRs but they are definitely not the most comfortable, a full leather midsole and that vibram outsole is exactly what I plan on having done when my boots are in need of a rebuild.

[@craig7887]

Wow! You’ve outdone yourself again. Great job!

[@AaronG2480]

Thanks!!

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

I had my Iron Rangers resoled with a leather midsole and Vibram 1705. Definitely improved comfort!

[@AaronG2480]

Totally!!

[@rmaybach]

Love this, I was looking at this exact sole for my nearly new IR.

[@joshuabaumann3811]

As always...beautiful work Aaron!

[@planetaboy]

Those Rangers look amazing! Great job my friend!!

[@brycecrousore1985]

Another gorgeous outcome!

Como siempre MAESTRO …..excelente ….👍👍👍👍👍

[@hugofernandez39]

Muy bien maestro, arte puro.

[@MrJoshDoty]

Looks great! 👍

[@kittatinnytree]

Fine job, as always. My experience with the 1757 Middlebury/Gumlite soles wasn't very good, but mainly because of the work I was doing at the time. The Gumlite is very comfortable and the grip was remarkable, even on a 10/12 pitch roof. But those benefits come at a tradeoff with longevity. They may be suitable for a shop environment where one is on a concrete all day, but walking through rough terrain and asphalt quickly wore them down, so I went back to the 132 unit soles.

[@AaronG2480]

Correct, it really depends on what you need the boots Thanks

[@theone9564]

Bro...can't wait to get mine like that to send them to you.

[@frankgonzalez3822]

When the time comes, I would like to send you a pair of boots to repair

[@davidethridge5748]

I wish I could send you some of my boots to repair but the shipping alone would be almost the same cost as repair. I also prefer the older model of Iron Rangers with the flat bottoms.

[@oldbuzzard76]

That is beautiful work ! Wonder where he learned his craft ?

[@hasnahbintinayannayan.shukribi]

hi.. friends, I hope you are healthy and there is much more knowledge that can be shared about leather shoes..

Donde tienes tu reparadora?

[@brucevodka]

5 OUT OF 5!!!!!

[@Hadd13]

How can i get pricing ????

[@peteking9677]

Why did you have to put nails at the bottom of soles? Won't it pierce through the foot after long use and worn?

[@aradoran]

How do the nails on the heel rand not go through the leather insole/footbed?

[@Thysddcf235]

They do go through and then are bent over by foot support/ holder (not sure of the correct term). This cinches it all together.

[@joeimbesi5361]

How long do the boots stay in the hydraulic press for the soles?

[@AaronG2480]

A few seconds only.

[@EdAb]

Why a heel rand instead of a 360˚ welt? Lots of shoe makers convert other brands of shoes, (like Alden Indy) from 270˚ to 360˚, but I've never seen a 360˚ conversion on an Iron Ranger. Why?

[@AaronG2480]

Simply because the costumer didn’t ask or paid for it. Those cobblers you mentioned don’t do it for free

[@EdAb]

@@AaronG2480 I think we have misunderstanding here and I apologize for the confusion. Of course shoe makes don't do it for free and I would never expect it to be free! My question is why have I never seen an Iron Ranger converted from a 270˚ welt to a 360˚ welt? I've done a lot of searching, but have never found such a conversion. Kind Regards

[@AaronG2480]

@EdAb 😅it’s all good I was just kidding. I’m pretty sure Wyatt and Dad have at least one video of that conversion , have you checked? I have converted a pair of blacksmith, I didn’t make a video but here’s the instagram link of that. instagram.com/p/C3EOuuzvC6r/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Cheers!

[@EdAb]

@@AaronG2480 Thanks for the Wyatt and Dad tip. I had searched "Iron Ranger 360" before, but nothing came up. After your suggestion I skimmed through a couple of videos and found one with a 360˚ welt conversion, but they didn't really show what the welt looked like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHTHgXmnptOjg9k I guess I'll have to keep skimming for more. Your Blacksmith boot conversion looks amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@suitrBJ]

~3:06 ? what's that shoe there like an ostrich chukka?

[@AaronG2480]

Correct, those were very famous back in the 2000s

[@chinatownboy7482]

This guy always replaces the welt. No shortcuts here.
