So I got my Iron Rangers yesterday. They are probably my favorite boots. I like them better than my Whites for sure. Pictures? Did you get the Amber Harness? I sold mine when I got my White's but regret doing that every time I see pictures of a well cared for and used pair of these.. |

What boots are these? Look very nice but also expensive. Why does it have to be like that?  |

Same price as the horsehide engineers..... Not "soooooooooo bad", considering he actually had to develop this pattern from scratch just for this one pair of boots, and I'm sure these are a lot more work than a pair of engineers.

@untucked I like it, did he make it on a wide last or is it the same as the engineers? Maybe I'll visit his shop next time in La. How long was your wait for them?

I'm not sure exactly... Because either way, when you get boots made you have to send him your foot dimensions, and he builds to that. But, I do know that it's a different last.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the exact leather that (American) footballs are made of. |

If I'm not mistaken, this is the exact leather that (American) footballs are made of. Sounds about right. I just bought a pair before they sold out of my size and I regretted not buying them. $25 tin of Venetian Shoe cream thrown in, was a no brainer. I've been wanting some of the English shoes that use Zug leather for awhile now to wear in foul weather. Still would like a pair of derbys in that leather. I think this leather should wear similarly to Zug but may not be quite as waxy. If they don't fit quite right I can always give them to my nephew for his XMAS/Birthday combination. |

northcoast I emailed about sizing and Nick Horween said you can always exchange up or down no problem. Not sure if my size 9.5 is still in stock but I might try it out

Yeah, I'm a 12 and I doubt an 11 is going to fit me. As mentioned upthread, the pair of shoes I own from Canada West is TTS so I'm hopeful. I'm not sure I'm sold on the laces though. Kinda looks like it may be small holes so may have to go to round waxed laces vs. flat waxed. And with the straight rubber sole they should be easy to walk in on day one. The GYW guys were saying that Canada West was making Vibergs first few versions of their initial GYW offerings. I'm just not sure why so cheap unless Horween gave them a deal on leather that was seconds? |

Yea i hopped on GYW and saw what people were saying. I'm just wondering how the scotch grain ages and if its casual enough for wearing with jeans.
