Redwing Iron Rangers vs White's Bounty Hunters

.I don't really think these fit the bill for heavy work. They definitely will saturate through in wet situations, but may be ok for inside shop work (which I will be occasionally using them for)

And so I resolved to throw more money at Bakers and emailed Kyle to determine my size

Best of all, there is no buckling leather on the upper making ugly creases and stabbing the top of my foot like many of the shoes I have owned in my life. **Quality** : I love the texture and feel of the outer on this shoe.

5 E. * $1200 retail before $100 off + Black Friday Discount. This is my second pair of custom White's. My Bounty Hunters are about a year old and the experience of wearing them is just so

I bought Thursdays and Iron rangers at the same time last year and as time goes on, I am much happier with the rangers. I think they are going to hold up longer.

..applied easily and has stood the test of time on my truck thats parked in the elements

The material seems to be of very good quality as well. That's why I went with 2 stars instead of 1. I will remain hopeful that these boots will get better, but after 6+ weeks I am doubtful enough to write a review. I will try to remember to update if the situation improves

If you call or e-mail White's and ask them for leather [samples](https://imgur.com/a/CHU2ej5), they really will just mail them to you, for free. This came in especially handy because there are a LOT of different black leathers available for Bounty Hunters. Ultimately, I went with Black Otter because it had, to me, the best combination of luster, thickness, and suppleness of all of the samples I requested

I was hoping for more give/molding to the footbed but it didn't go as planned. I ended up just taking an insole out of an existing pair of shoes and using that. The insole wasn't very thick but it added some cushion underneath the ball of my feet and some arch support. I didn't necessarily want the arch support but I did want some cushion to ease the hot spots under my foot (ball of feet and under my heel)

Also scored serious patina points on that trip. Apart from being heavy and clunky they are broken in and super comfortable and I’ve used them on various hiking incursions since then.
