    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    ^^^ Yes Matte Black. When I bought them, they looked similar to this. (pics borrowed from intraweb ;) After a light oiling they looked more like this. They are a nice matte black. As they dry out, they devolop some gray like patina. I love the Beckmans, but they (to me) are...

From the side they look close to the original cork sole on the...

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    It looks like it is just a little high spot on the inside front of the heel. A little walking use should wear it down easily. s the leather breaks in, the tongue should lie flatter. A little conditioner of your choice could probably speed it up.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    It is very easy to replace just the heel and quite common. My cobbler is the authorized repair shop for our local Red wings stores . He charges $15-20 for a pair of new heels. I have had the sole and heels replaced on several Beckmans and they turned out great.
