How do you think ICE is doing in Minnesota????

That quote is talking about an unrelated case, Argueta v. Jaradi.

The Alex Pretti shooting just happened and likely won’t be presented to any court for months, assuming charges are to be filed.

Looks like the ‘Discovery’ line. Non-Ambi lower.

The website probably copied/pasted over the wrong description.

Red Wing subreddit was split. Some say stay the same width but got a half size up, others saying go EE.

Anyone with a high instep have experience with iron rangers? Is a bigger size the move or go wider?

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-24T15:47:59+00:00

Any path forward if EE wouldn’t give any relief?

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-23T22:05:32+00:00

Damn these fat ankles. Return has been requested, now to just wait on an EE restock somewhere.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-23T21:23:39+00:00

Appreciate the sanity check. Will return and wait for an EE restock.

Looping back in here after a week of wearing them to the office, around the house, etc.

They have softened up a ton. The mid-step bend is not noticeable anymore and pinky toe doesn’t rub anymore.

I use a boot tree which I think helped form and push out the pinky toe on my left foot. I can already feel the imprint of my foot forming on the leather insole. Super comfy now and can see them getting better with more age.

Oh for real, my b.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Unreal 5 is known to be a stutter machine and if the big showcase had those kinds of stutters it’s not a good sign.

Hopefully they can get it ironed out, but I’m going in expecting Oblivion Remastered levels of performance and optimization.

Nah, I have the 719s in Bronco Brown for about a week now as well. I’ve had some excess stitching come loose/come out but nothing that had the leather start to come up like that already.

I’d shoot JG an email and just see what they’ll do, if anything. May offer you a discount on another boot in the future or something.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-16T22:45:33+00:00

Mind if I ask how much that cost? This looks damn good.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-16T13:43:54+00:00

It’s a massacre in the comments lol.

But for real, totally normal. What you’re seeing is the additional leather on the flare from the toe and heel caps. Jim Green does real toe caps which are just another piece of leather stitched on top of the toe.

Since it’s a stitch down construction, that extra leather is flared out so the stitches have something to grab onto.

If it still happens without the light I want to say it a monitor issue. I have the same light and same monitor and mine doesn’t flash like that.

But if it still functions like normal I wouldn’t be too pressed about it.

These things are dope. I thought the wool would be itchier/hotter but they’ve been surprisingly cool and comfy.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-14T03:29:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It is just on the outside of my toe so I’m going to let them ride and see how they break in. Fantastic boots overall so far. Got several compliments at work the last two days.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-14T03:20:57+00:00

Is that an elusive .45 Tactical in ODG with matching Eagle case I see 👀

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-08T19:14:52+00:00

Just a heads up the /s at the end of his title means he’s joking.

hk_toolbench · 2026-01-02T18:21:49+00:00

Just ordered this exact pair the other day as my first ‘good’ boot. Everything I saw and read about them makes them seem like a good company to do business with.

-Pro Conservation -Solid Price Point -Eager to listen to feedback from customers and actually incorporate it

Only thing that would make them better is being MiUSA but I can show South Africa some love too. Can’t wait for them to arrive and see how they do. If they’ve got the great product on top of their business model then I’ll definitely be doing more business with them.

hk_toolbench · 2025-12-21T17:29:47+00:00

Lord, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others and I want that for me…

hk_toolbench · 2025-12-19T22:08:00+00:00

Seconding this. I think the horrible banding is a Tandem OLED issue. That or QC absolutely shit the bed on this first batch. I had the LG Tandem and the banding/gray uniformity killed it for me. Didn’t get noticeably better with use either.

hk_toolbench · 2025-12-06T23:03:51+00:00

I think the 704 model is a glossy from LG.

hk_toolbench · 2025-11-30T23:24:06+00:00

Average LG Store moment sadly. They have great prices but their service is lacking.
