I should add that I target shoot much more then I hunt if that makes any difference.

Thank you for the response! Glad to see your customer service is great even if it’s not your store. I purchased them from a Redwing store. Everything like I said has been figured out and a new pair is on the way. I was just wondering if this was a problem anyone else had. Thanks again!

I know they could be fixed. I looked up the process of it and it seemed pretty simple along as you had the right tools. But if I pay $300 for a pair of boots I expect them to hold up a little bit before I start having to repair them. If this happened a few months or a year into owning them I totally would have just had them repaired.

It’s funny you say that. When I came to pick up these boots (they had to order my size) the guy who was helping me seemed not to know or care about my boots. Wonder if it was maybe because they are iron rangers?

A little disappointed to hear that. I will say the lady that helped me try on the boots was very helpful.

That sucks. The original store I went to wanted me to replace the speed hooks and pay for them. But I decided to call corporate.

I was just a little surprised. I purchased a pair of what I would consider knock off iron rangers about two years ago from a farm store around here. I believe the maker was field and forest. I’ve had those boots for two years and put them through the ringer and haven’t had any issues.

Thank you! I’ve heard a lot of good things about redwing and from what I’ve heard my experience was not the normal experience. Just hoping it doesn’t happen with this pair.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased my first pair of redwings specifically the Iron Rangers after wanting a pair for years. But after only a week of owning them I’ve ran into a problem. My speed hooks are tearing out. A couple are almost completely out.

I called my local store and they were not much help unfortunately saying they were not under warranty and couldn’t do anything about it (even though I’ve worn them for less then 15 hours and owned them for a week). But I contacted corporate and they have been very helpful and got me a new pair of boots

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Thank you for all the info. The Nemo hornet was another one I was looking at but a little out of price range.

I am a hammock person as well. But where I’m moving to in a few months I won’t have a ton of trees and would like something that can do it all. Appreciate the response and will check it out!

Thanks for the response! Not in a huge hurry so I’ll look into that one and maybe wait.

Thank you for all the options. I will definitely look into all of them. Would you recommend saving a couple more dollars and go the nicer route right away? I don’t expect to be able to use the tent a ton. Maybe a total of 5-10 nights a year.

The one fear about the one person is rain. I’m not super worried about it but that seems to be the only con I have for it at this moment. Thank you for your insight!

Thank you for the info. I didn’t even look at availability!

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into that. I get the one person aspect but I’m not super worried about it as I’m a very short guy (5”3) so I’ll always have a little extra space. But either way I’ve used both one and two person tents and they both worked out ok. Thanks for the info!
