I have to say, I am so glad you customized my Iron Rangers with the new sole. They are extremely comfortable and very quiet when walking. You're the best!
I've had three pairs of iron rangers re-soled in my lifetime and each time they became throwaways, why? Because when Red Wing shoes are resoled they no longer fit, they're always too short and tight... RESOLING RED WING SHOES IS A SCAM ...!
Just my opinion, but that type of sole is what Red Wing should make as an option for the Iron Ranger. I like that. I have seen that sole and it is nice for comfort. Great looking pair of boots. Very good upgrade. I hope the owner has happy feet.
The Iron Rangers are most comfortable with the original mini lugs if you ask me. They seem to have less damping but in the end the somewhat harder soles make it easier to walk long distances. They are also more grippy than you think and flexible at the same time.
The iron ranger is an ok boot. If they spent few more hours in production going over details. Leather midsole first and foremost. Whoever does the cutting of tongue, quarters, and vamps clearly does not gauge the leather. I bought one ranger years ago on eBay “not seconds” and one foot was 1.4mm and the other was .7-.8 on tongues. Totally fucked the boot. The redwing heritage collection always has loose threads, irregular and narrow spacing on the outsole welt stitch. My opinion is wait and save a few hundred more dollars and get yourself a nicks or a whites
Your reconstructions are top notch, Aaron! I love my boots and like watching cobblers on UA-cam, and the quality you deliver is matched by only the very few. I hope people watching these kind of videos will eventually see yours. You deserve more viewers! Happy belated birthday! Hope you were happy with your new boots!
I’ve had my IR for a year and they are not comfortable at all lol. I was gonna try and just sell them on eBay but now I’m just gonna find a cobbler and get new soles. I love the looks and the history
Happy Birthday Aarón!🎉 you’re a 100% correct about these Vibram soles. You did 2 pairs of Iron Rangers for me last year with those soles and I love them. I’m selling a lot of my Red Wings but those are staying with me because of how comfortable they are. Big difference. Cuídate hermano! 🤝👍
Just found your channel a couple days ago. I've watched several of your videos now, you do excellent work my friend. You are inspiring, I'm glad to see there are still some good craftsman around
It's a completely different boot; I'd go for a rebuild if I owned a pair or Iron Rangers but think it would be better for me just to pony up the cash for a pair of Nick's; still debating on either walnut or brown CXL and either lug or V-bar sole.
Those look great and super comfortable. I agree with you that stock, Iron Rangers feel like Roman sandals. Happy birthday, Aaron. Hope your new boots arrive soon!
Sew and sanding lines are beautiful. To me this is super important. Also, adding that leather midsole fixes my biggest cosmetic gripe about the boot. I know who I will be getting to resole my boots when the time comes!
I totally agree. Why does it not come from the factory with that midsole??? Just look how much better that is! It looks like something is missing in the original boot.
The original sole are so damn uncomfortable. Luckily the soles on mine are just about ready to be swapped out👌 Sweet video! I always wondered how boots got resoled.
Buenos videos Aaron... Y excelente trabajo 👌🏽 Tarde pero seguro feliz cumpleaños amigo Dios te bendiga y mucho éxito.... Esperemos ya lleguen tus botas para checarlas 🥾
I just got my Iron Rangers back from my local cobbler today and i opted for Vibram Christy wedge soles. I also like the ones you used here. May give thoes a try next resole. Are they more comfortable than the Christys??
Saludos desde Montebello… yes, I’m in Montebello, i recently found your channel, I appreciate your work and your modesty. It’s good to know we have a local shoe cobbler. What lotion are you using to condition the boots at minute 8:23? Thank you
Happy Birthday ! And great work as always. And I have used the Sole Tech version of this sole on a pair of boots. They are the most shocking ⚡⚡⚡ pair of footwear I've owned lol. They'll be getting a new sole soon.
Olé Matador! 💯🔥 Feliz cumpleaños Aaron un fuerte abrazo. 🍾🥂🎂🎉 Una pregunta maestro: ¿podéis hacer unas botas como las del principio del vídeo, de media suela pero solo de cuero? 💯🔥🐐🧙♂️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Se puede pero cualquier zapateo te va a cobrar más que lo que valen las botas por ese trabajo, hay que volver a montar/lasting las botas . si es por eso solo compra unas plantitas y eso resuelve el problema medio número no es nada
Iron Rangers damaged my knees! I also love the Vibram Gumlite soles. Very comfy. Happy Birthday Aaron! Keep up the great work ❤ For this kind of resole you have to pay up to 200€ in germany
@gentleman3 how were your knees damaged? And why do you think this happened with the Iron Rangers? Thank you. I am looking into buying a pair but I have knee arthritis and know they are hard. I was planning to use a Superfeet Thin Insole to help a little. But I wonder if that will be enough. I also have the Redwing 8138 & 10877. No knee issues with those so far.
You can get the soles replace by a softer soles Instead of the Mini Lug iron Ranger come with, It’ll make a whole difference Vibram 1705 is one of the softest and more comfortable Vibram soles.

Nice work my friend but...Iron Rangers are the most uncomfortable boots I have ever put on my feet. I bet they still suck. Do yourself a favor if you own them and donate them to someone you dont like.
I see your comment is only a couple of months old. Did you even try to break them in? They do mold to your feet. A resole like this could make all the difference. I might have a local cobbler do the same.🇨🇦
@@matttherrien9608 Thanks but I had them for 2-3 years and they suck so much I never wear them anymore. Got some Irish Setters that were comfortable out of the box.
@@camarocarl7130 they're made by Red Wing as well right? Moc toe right? I bought black Rangers because I'm a sucker when it comes to sales. They were 30% off.

Thanks so much Mr Alphonso🙏
When a resole is needed, can you go over the midsole a couple of times?
What's the average price for a job like this one
How much do this cost ?

Love the Sole. It’s Soft and Still has a Heel. Adding that Leather Midsole makes a big difference in the boot. Came out Beautiful.
Thanks Peter! Leather midsoles make the whole difference
What some was that?

Thanks so much Robert, I didn’t get the chance to wear them, they didn’t fit me, but I did enjoy my birthday celebration 🎉!
Thanks again.
I always thought that the Iron Rangers needed a hefty leather midsole and the way you made it is the best way in my opinion. Thank you for this video!

@@JohnClark-gu6il 🙏
I love the contrast between the black of the sole, the tan of the midsole, and the brown of the shoes.
Aaron’s modern flare on old styles is BOSS!
🇲🇽🇺🇸🏁
Wow, Aaron, Those turned out Beautiful! I wish Im had an old pair to send you, 😀. Thanks for the Video.

How do the softness of these Gumlite soles compare to the honey lug vibram 100?
The original sole are so damn uncomfortable. Luckily the soles on mine are just about ready to be swapped out👌
Sweet video! I always wondered how boots got resoled.
I had those soles on a pair of boots I had in the Army. Super comfortable.
Bendecido por trabajo! Excelente trabajo en las botas.
Buenos videos Aaron... Y excelente trabajo 👌🏽
Tarde pero seguro feliz cumpleaños amigo Dios te bendiga y mucho éxito.... Esperemos ya lleguen tus botas para checarlas 🥾
Gracias mi buen Kike, un saludo y bendiciones para ti también!!
Damn all these Red Wing resoles got me wanted Red Wings again
I just got my Iron Rangers back from my local cobbler today and i opted for Vibram Christy wedge soles. I also like the ones you used here. May give thoes a try next resole. Are they more comfortable than the Christys??
A lot more (Gumlite) is the softest material
Saludos desde Montebello… yes, I’m in Montebello, i recently found your channel, I appreciate your work and your modesty. It’s good to know we have a local shoe cobbler.
What lotion are you using to condition the boots at minute 8:23?

Cadillac leather conditioner
All the time.
Gracias 👍🏾
@@erickvega8356 por nada cuando gustes, saludos
Muy buen trabajo felicitaciones soy de Bolivia...
I would buy these from you! If I ever need a resole I'm sending it to you! You're a JEDI!
Looks really good and something I will likely do to my own pair!
Feliz Cumple! Hope your botas already arrived.
Nice job!
🙏
Good looking resole. I'll make a note of that sole. Not a huge fan of the stock soles that come on the Iron Rangers. Nice work, bud.
¡¡¡Perrotas esas botas!!!
They look great. I'm not familiar with that Vibram sole. Is it as soft as a Christy sole?
🙏
It’s even softer than Christys
@@AaronG2480 👍
So its softer, but wil it has a longer life aswel?
I wanted to make my IR boots feel comfortable.
Happy birthday, and great job as always!
Beautiful job
Quedaron chidas. ✌️
🖐🏻👊
@@AaronG2480 ya mero te llevo mis RW8138. La suela ya esta muy desgastada.
Cuando gustes, estamos a la orden !!

🙏
Yeah sole tech makes the very same comfortable sole!
Greetings
@@AaronG2480 Yeah but it's foam and builds up static like no other.
What is your website so I can see what options and pricing is to do my Iron Rangers. You do great work. And good video. Thanks
I want my Iron Rangers to be more comfy!
Have you done a pair of grant stone before ?
Yes I have
Beautiful rugged boot.
Do you take orders from Texas?
Happy Birthday Aaron.
Felicidades por tu cumple y también felicidades por tener bastante trabajo 👍🏼
Happy birthday, again!
I love this new soles brother: how much for tha replacement, I have the same boots
Como puedo haser el pedido esas botas que acabas de terminar los soy de Bolivia
beautiful job, how much does something like this cost?
super nice results!! Is it heavier than the original sole?
Not at all, they’re much lighter
Thanks

Una pregunta maestro: ¿podéis hacer unas botas como las del principio del vídeo, de media suela pero solo de cuero?
💯🔥🐐🧙♂️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias, Claro Que si!
Is this just a softer rubber than the stock Vibram?
I want this on mine so bad now!!!! 🍻
Happy Belated Birthday Aaron
Como posso comprar uma bota fabrecada pô você entra em contato com migo
looks awesome brother! i own those nitrile bottoms and yes theyre waaayyy to hard underfoot
Thanks 🙏
I live in Iowa and have a pair of Iron Rangers that I'd like to have resoled. Can I send you my boots?
They look great.
Awesome!
Feliz cumple!
Happy belated birthday premo
👍
Feliz cumpleaños!! 🥳🎂✌️
Pregunta, es posible reducir el tamaño de unas Iron Rangers de 8 a 7 1/2 cuando se hace un trabajo similar al de estas botas?
Se puede pero cualquier zapateo te va a cobrar más que lo que valen las botas por ese trabajo, hay que volver a
montar/lasting las botas .
si es por eso solo compra unas plantitas y eso resuelve el problema medio número no es nada
Iron Rangers damaged my knees! I also love the Vibram Gumlite soles. Very comfy. Happy Birthday Aaron! Keep up the great work ❤
For this kind of resole you have to pay up to 200€ in germany
Thank you, they should at least have a midsole, it’d make a difference
@gentleman3 how were your knees damaged? And why do you think this happened with the Iron Rangers? Thank you.
I am looking into buying a pair but I have knee arthritis and know they are hard. I was planning to use a Superfeet Thin Insole to help a little. But I wonder if that will be enough. I also have the Redwing 8138 & 10877. No knee issues with those so far.
You can get the soles replace by a softer soles
Instead of the Mini Lug iron Ranger come with, It’ll make a whole difference
Vibram 1705 is one of the softest and more comfortable Vibram soles.
@@AaronG2480 thank you. Is there a price list on your website if I want to do this option? Thank you.
@@shakebake2680
I don’t have a website at the moment, I had one before but never finished setting it up,whenever you’re ready kindly email me to
Reviveshoerepair@gmail.com
Why is that any more comfortable than the original minilug? Softer material ?
Correct, way softer than the original totally different material.
How long does this sole last ? Is it similar to the Christie in wear or longer?
I can’t answer that, it really depends on what you do with your boots, it’s slightly softer and way more comfortable than Christy
Fantastico!
❤
Those soles look much softer!
Removing the discontinued cork sole before it's worn out is a sin
Happy belated Birthday!!🎉
Thank you!!
Sharp.
Where are you based?
You should talk more in these
Any way i can get a Logger boot sole on my Iron Rangers?
Bro can you show a pair of these on foot, por favor
How does that sole wear? Is it really soft?
Yes it is
Nice💯
Perfect
Wow, nice!
Great work! Cuanto cobras por ponerle esa suela a mis Iron Rangers?
Por favor mándeme un email.
Gracias
Dangerous proposition buying boots for a cobbler
Great... now make a soundtrack for when you remove the welt. Oh please though, longer videos... for we the fantics.
And of course we know you're busy, we are just eager.
