American Highway Iron Ranger, Waxed Earth

Red Wing is a name that's been synonymous with handcrafted American perfection for over 100 years. For this collection, we were fortunate enough to lend some design insight into a special American Highway edition of their iconic Iron Ranger boot. Made from a roughed out waxed leather upper, and featuring a heavy duty mini-lug sole, these boots will move effortlessly from a day on the trail to a night on the town.

The local residents of the Mesabi Iron Range in northern Minnesota are proudly known as Iron Rangers due to their rugged toughness. The Iron Ranger work boots were built for iron miners in this region who required a double layer of leather over the toe for extra safety. It’s tough and elegant all at once.

• Outsole: Vibram 430 Mini Lug 
• Insole: Leather
• Goodyear Welt Construction

About the Collection: 

America is a country built on hard work, self sufficiency and the freedom to go where you please. In this collaboration we’ve brought together four independent brands that have married these values with the importance of making products here in America.

The highways of America don’t just physically link these brands together, but also represent the ultimate proving ground for American Independence. It’s waking up on the side of a dusty road because you were too far out there to find a motel and too tired to set up your tent. It’s the over easy eggs and crispy bacon from a greasy spoon diner. The open vistas of a long straight two lane road. Follow us on our journey across this great country. 

American Highway is a collaboration between 4 great American made brands: Ball and Buck, Red Wing Shoes, Stock Mfg. Co, and Taylor Stitch.
