Iron ranger vs blacksmith.
The red wing blacksmith and iron ranger are just about the same in terms of sizing and fit.
Red wing iron ranger vs blacksmith different from what i remember a few years back.
For the question regarding what boots i own i have the viberg derby boot in italian moss horshide wolverine 1000 mile and i ve just purchased a pair of thursdays that caught my attention.
More noticeable though is the absence of a toe cap.
I am torn between these two because they both look sharp and have a similar sole.

Iron ranger and blacksmith.
My three red wing boots.
Like the iron ranger it also features an external heel stay but that is slimmer and more elegant looking on the blacksmith.
The beckman imo fits slightly narrower that the ir.
Red wing suggests you go a half size smaller than your regular shoe size for both models.
As for soles the original nitrile sole on my irs is still going strong after almost 7 years.
They will primarily be worn as casual shoes but i live in a rural area and i do a lot of outdoorsy activies so they will find dirt fairly frequently.
Afaik the blacksmith is more similar to an iron ranger than a beckman but i don t own a blacksmith so can t comment on the fit.
