Number of products: 4Introduction to the Red Wing Iron Ranger
The Red Wing Iron Ranger is one of the most iconic American heritage Red Wing boots, with a history that dates back over a century. Originally designed in the 1920s for iron miners working in the Mesabi Iron Range of northern Minnesota, the Iron Ranger was built to withstand the harsh conditions of a miner's work environment. Featuring a double-layer leather toe cap for extra protection and durability, the boots quickly became known for their distinctive silhouette and rugged reliability.
Over the decades, Red Wing has stayed true to the original design, maintaining its commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. Manufactured in Minnesota using premium leathers from the brand's own S.B. Foot Tannery, the men's Red Wing shoes are known for their durability and timeless style. The Iron Ranger is a popular choice for both workers and casual wearers, often becoming many people's first significant boot investment. Each pair of men's boots is made with precision and care, ensuring it meets the high standards that Red Wing has maintained for over a century.
Features of the Iron Ranger
Since its founding in 1905, Red Wing has emphasized craftsmanship, quality, and durability in every product they make. The Iron Ranger embodies these values, crafted by skilled artisans who take pride in their work.
The Red Wing Iron Ranger features a double-layer leather toe cap, a bump toe for extra room, and nickel eyelets with speed hooks for easy lacing. The boots are equipped with a cork midsole, which molds to the foot over time, providing a personalized fit.
These Red Wing boots are made with premium full-grain leather from the S.B. Foot Tannery, a Vibram® 430 Mini-Lug sole for traction, and Goodyear welt construction, allowing the boots to be resoled for long-lasting wear. The quality of the leather means that the boots develop a beautiful patina over time, adding character and uniqueness to each pair.
The Iron Ranger is available in a variety of colors, including Amber Harness, Black Harness, and Copper Rough & Tough, allowing wearers to choose the perfect hue that fits their style. Each color variant provides a completely unique look, with rich tones and textures that complement a range of wardrobes and occasions.
