My redwing iron rangers have been working for 10 years with no problems.
Bought them like 12 years ago, no regrets
I've been thinking about buying some for ten years, guess I should have already
Not sure the Red wings are the same quality anymore.
Solovair are high quality. Blundstone is excellent as well.
I got my iron rangers a couple years ago and they're fantastic. I think red wing was juuuust starting to fuck around with quality at that time, but I think it was on other models.
The break in period on the red wings is legit though. I could only handle them for a couple hours at a time in the beginning. I would bring another pair of shoes with me to work to change into when the boots got too painful.
After a couple weeks though, so so nice.
Redbacks are better cheaper blundstones, also made in Australia.
