Red Wing Shoes

Got tired of the wedge sole on my good ol 875's. So got them replaced by some honey lug soles. Never had Goodyear soles though.

one of the best iv seen…some of the other sole replacements have been a bit ugly but these are perfect looking...lucky you

I'd like to pose a question to everyone here….I don't wear my Iron Rangers as much as i'd like to and I think its mostly because of the soles.  I've been thinking of getting them resoled with something different and a little more utilitarian for my purposes.    After seeing the Self Edge/Alden/Leather Soul conservation boot I was sort of obsessed with the idea of putting a sole like that on my rangers.  anybody have any experience with resoling their rangers?  or have pics to share?  I'm not even opposed to the Vibram Christy which i know many people hate.

Got the same mixed feelings and experiences with my pair.
Changing the soles might turn out to be an aesthetic challenge - keep us posted.

Don't like the standard soles on my IR's, but am going to have them changed. Just purchased some 875's today on a GREAT sale from a local vendor, will probably have them resoled with the honey lugs featured on the last page. I'm really enjoying the Red Wing experience now that I found extra wide sizes.

my rw chelsea's are hands down my favorite pair of redwing's i've ever owned….and i've had quite a few.  i really like my rangers too but like i said...the sole just makes me shy away.

i don´t think there should be any kinda problems to change the sole on your IR`s mate…should be just like any other resole job imo...

These are GT's rather than IR's, but…..

check this link, if you really wanna see what´s possible when it comes to resoling (not just with Red Wing):

kinda thinking the black vibram christy would look pretty cool.  mine are black, so it would be sorta like these yuks
