>>1099190I've never hiked in my Iron Rangers. The Red Wing clerk told me he hiked in his no prob. I assume the flat sole to be quite slippery in wet/boggy/grassy environments. I live in a city and use them as edc boots. I bought them mainly because I was tired of buying shoes every year and see them fall apart during a few months.
>>1097711Have you tried treating them with Sno Seal or some other wax? Works wonders. I've beat mine up pretty bad during a long hike on Mallorca (lots of sharp stones) and the wax filled up the scars quite nicely. Pic related.
