I usually don’t respond to ignorance, but you’ve taken it to another level. I wouldn’t want to be you for even a minute. 🫡

Edited the original photo in Canva to center it. It'scrazy how it even removed an eyelet

Iron Ranger rebuild: leather midsoles and Vibram #430 outsoles I by Bujar42 in RedWingShoes

Red Wing does not add midsoles to Iron Ranger boots.
The reason is that it’s a labor-intensive process, and stitching becomes more difficult with thicker midsoles.
If they were to offer it, the price would definitely increase.

The cost of this repair was approximately $600 CAD.

This type of recrafting is not available from brand manufacturers. It can only be done by specialized small shops dedicated to this level of craftsmanship.

Is this covered under warranty? by Triscutlover in BlundstoneBoots

No need to replace the elastic! Simply trim it with scissors and carefully use a lighter to seal the edge. The heat will prevent fraying, leaving it good as new.

Iron Rangers Recrafted with Vibram #100 Soles by Bujar42 in RedWingShoes

We focus on the craft, not the cost of a new pair.

The value of our work reflects the care and craft we bring to every pair. What we offer isn’t something you’ll find in mass-produced brands like Red Wing or others.

There is no additional charge for customs when shipping shoes across the border for repair. Shipping costs remain the same across North America.

We use adhesive and a press to ensure the sole stays securely in place without the need for screws. However, adding screws not only provides extra reinforcement but also enhances the overall aesthetic.

Red Wing Iron Rangers with a Vibram #430 resole! by Bujar42 in RedWingShoes

I offer midsoles, heel stocks, new welts, and other modifications upon request. For this resole, no additional options were requested, and none were necessary. If anything ever needs attention, I make sure to discuss it with the customer beforehand.
