@Robert-Z
best engineers if you ask me
you will love them ! -
My first Iron Rangers lasted 8 years, second 4, third 2 years with numerous resoles. My cobbler confirmed that quality has been deteriorating and some new boots now look like factory seconds.
I was ready to pull the trigger on some custom Wesco's when a local recommended Grant Stone. Went with the waxed commander. https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/products/diesel-boot-natural-waxed-commander
Quality is two ticks better than IR, one tick better than Alden Indy's. Very pleased after 130 miles through winter and spring. These come with a vibram lugged sole that is a bit more rugged than IR with suits me using them almost exclusively in the woods in mud and snow.
PS: I am quite hard on my boots so the experience of the city dwellers with IRs could be much better.

@Brandrea really like those boots!! Looking a lace up for my next pair. Those are stellar!!
Thanks very much, they are super comfortable. They are an E width with plenty of room on the foot box to let the foot spread.
They were to only boots I found that easily accommodated my orthotics.
Bad feet suck, as most of foot wear looks like crap just to be comfortable. I pretty much live in these, and my Birks … lol

My go to pair! Going to be without them for 5-6 months though as they get resoled by Visvim
Visvim Virgil (black bison leather)

Finally got these Nicks Rangers last week, ordered in December lol. Really digging the black and 8” height. My feet have never felt so secure
-
Thanks @Karol ! Yeah these have the 430 mini lug, I’m not on my feet all day so they have been great so far. I bet the honey Vibram feels awesome!
-
Nice @Karol ! those look sweet! Are the lowers a different leather than the uppers?

@Crease No, it's the same 1964 Black smooth 7-8oz, however you have a good eye as the lower part has already undergone one light Saphir Renovateur coat that has stayed overnight before polishing, and after another week of wear and daily polishing I added super light coat of Saphir Mirror Gloss. That too stayed overnight and since then (2 weeks) they just been polished after each wear.
