The most iconic American boot there is, the Red Wing Iron Ranger is massively popular and, well, pretty darn expensive. After a recent price jump to $350, is this classic boot still worth it? After five years of working in the boot industry, I've worn the boot hard and come to a point where I can confidently assess its durability and compare it to its top competitors. For an American made, Goodyear welted boot, it's hard to find better.
