Rarely have any pair of boots deserved such a fame as the iconic 8111. Over the years, it has became an archetype of a workwear boot. 

Iron Ranger was originally built for iron miners in the 1930s. In the decades since, it has grown indispensable for owners from all walks of life thanks to its iconic style and longevity.

The six-inch boot’s signature feature is a leather toe cap that is as distinctive as it is durable. Thanks to leather insoles and a cork midsole that form to feet, each pair develops a personalized fit and custom comfort over time.

As any proper shoe, these boots are built with a Goodyear welt and feature signature Puritan triple-stitch construction. Speed hooks provide precision lacing and a visual hit of hardware. The Iron Ranger is anchored with a Vibram^® 430 Mini-lug outsole.

On the more dressy side of Red Wing shoes is a Beckman 9411 Black Cherry Featherstone 6-inch boot. Still a true work boot at heart and the story for its birth goes like this.

The Red Wing Beckman is named after the companies founder: Charles Beckman, a German immigrant who founded the Red Wing Shoe Company in 1905. When Mr. Beckman was walking the unpaved and mudddy streets of Red Wing, MN he needed a solid and sturdy boot that could be polished to match his status as a business succeed entrepreneur.

Everyone with a sharp eye can see that the Featherstone leather is the highest quality leather, made from the finest hides available. The Red Wing 9011 Beckman has a layered leather Roccia outsole with rubber traction which provides good grip on any surface and comes with black waxed laces. 

Sure, breaking it in takes time, but it will be the most handsome boot for years and years of use.
