Red Wing Iron Ranger Amber Harness Size 9EE

[kindasorta]

I have here a pair of slightly worn Red Wing Iron Ranger Style 8111 (Amber Harness) Mens size 9EE (Wide) made in the USA. They are just beginning to break in a bit as the leather has softened and wrinkles have formed in several areas. Other than that, they haven't been properly beat up yet (I'll leave that to you) and there are no deep scratches in the leather grain except one subtle line on the right toe cap that is actually a scar on the original cow's hide (pretty bad ass in my opinion). I treated the leather once with Obenauf's LP for protection and hydration which gives it a temporary gloss as you can see in the pictures. Also, as seen in the last pic, I glued small strips of leather over the interior portions of the speed lacing hooks as they tend to rip up the tongue over time. You cannot see these strips once you lace up the boot.

A note about the sizing: The advice most people give is to go a 1/2 size down from your normal shoe size as these tend to run LONG and NARROW. However, these particular boots are "EE" wide, so I would say, based on my experience, that these are a more true-to-size fit for a 9/12 with just a bit more girth.
If you aren't already familiar with this brand, especially the Heritage collection, they are each handcrafted here in the US from Red Wing's own oil tanned leather (also from the US). Classic, quality craftsmanship with a rugged style.

I will include the original laces and a pair of purple laces for some variety. Price includes Shipping (ups ground). Paypal only. Thanks for looking.
