Introducing the Red Wing Shoes Iron Ranger - Hawthorne Muleskinner Boot. The Iron Ranger is an American icon known for its standout style and durable construction. With its cap toe, speed hooks, and Vibram outsole, this leather legend is unmistakable. The roughout leather is created using a reverse suede technique in our own S.B. Foot Tanning Co. While most tanneries split, thin, and weaken the leather to create the rough suede surface, we simply use the other side of the hide. By doing so, we prevent our full-grain leathers from splitting or thinning. This makes our Roughout leather as strong and durable as our other leathers. A new pair of Red Wing Heritage boots should fit comfortably on your foot, with enough room to freely move your toes. Over time, the full-grain leather upper, leather heel pocket, and cork midsole will mold to your feet, creating a personalized and long-lasting fit with every wear. Made in the USA.
