ABOUT
The story behind the style.
STYLE NO. 8128 : BROGUE RANGER
Similar in design to the Iron Ranger, the 8128 features tough Velva Retan leather, a durable Nitrile Cork outsole, Goodyear welt construction and small perforations in the toe, originally built for walking through wetlands and bogs
THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE
The local residents of the Mesabi Iron Range in northern Minnesota are proudly known as Iron Rangers due to their rugged toughness. The Iron Ranger work boots were built for iron miners in this region who required a double layer of leather over the toe for extra safety. It’s tough and elegant all at once.
MATERIALS
How it's made.
SMOOTH-FINISHED LEATHER
Smooth-finished leathers have a polished surface that enhances the true beauty and quality of the leather. Only the most premium, top-quality hides are used to craft smooth-finished leathers. The result is a beautiful, classic-looking leather used to build more elegant styles, such as the Red Wing Heritage Beckman Collection. The polished look and feel of the smooth-finished leather requires more specialized care and attention to keep it maintained.
