Gentleman, I have a question for ya. I am in the process of hunting for my first pair of red wing boots. I've narrowed it down to 2 pairs of boots, but can't decide and it's starting to drive me crazy!
The two I'm looking at are the harvester 2943 in Amber harness and the new iron ranger 8119 in Oxblood mesa.
I'd like these boots to very versatile. While I love the idea of owning many fine leather goods I dont have a ton of room and don't want a million different pairs of shoes. These boots would be used for a variety activities, mostly casual and some motorcycle riding too.
Here are the pros and cons to me of each:
Oxblood iron ranger:
Pros:
-(initially I thought Oxblood was an odd color). The more research I do the more it seems to go with everything ( I wear a lot of charcoals, maroons, navy blues, and tan colors. All of which it seems to go with, correct me if wrong)
-minilug sole for grip (decent winter boot)
-I ride a Harley Davidson forty eight and the words "oxblood iron Rangers" just sounds so right
Cons:
-Oxblood may technically be versatile but with casual outfits I don't know if it really is, all of the research Ive done pertaining to Oxblood has been related to
dressier types of shoe
-it's not as classic and timeless as Amber harness or a set of brown boots
Amber harness harvesters:
Pros:
-Amber harness is a proven classic "brown" boot with beautiful patina
-the extra height lends extra protection on a motorcycle
-fills the slot of classic brown boot
-mini lug sole (great winter boot between the sole and the height)
Cons:
-the 9" height may be really hot in spring (I live in MD, we have all seasons)
-Doesn't provide the same contrast against a dark grey motorcycle like the Oxblood would (this may or may not be a bad thing I guess)
Please let me know what y'all think. I need some input on the situation.
Many thanks in advance.
Anyone notice that Red Wing has a female line of boots now?

I didn't buy them but it's still amazing what you can find at the Rack
They're highly variable. I've yet to see anything like that (or any Red Wings whatsoever) at the Nordstrom Rack store here.

Still getting ready for boot season. I just purchased these Red Wings 8181 at Nordstrom Rack for $170 total. Really cool and unique color that you don't see very often. Maybe if I would have waited a bit longer they would have lowered the price but then again if I would have waited to long maybe someone would buy them and beat me to them because last week I saw the same style but in charcoal and now it's not there lol. Either way, getting Red Wings anywhere under 200 is no joke. I'm really happy with my purchase
