Very poor craftsmanship and quality control of Iron Rangers nowadays. Bought 5 pairs and all were measured different. Many are cosmetic and don't matter, but there are many flaws that affect the fit that you can actually feel.

I bought 5 pairs of the exact same pair of Iron Rangers from different vendors like Amazon (2 pairs), Sierra Trading Post, and even from Red Wing themselves. I just kept buying one pair after another because they all had uneven material and all fit differently. Half an inch of extra leather on one shoe may not sound like a lot, but it is. A LOT. The extra material crumples up and constantly rubs against the side of the foot and is very uncomfortable. See picture.

I'm also sharing the cosmetic issues like the holes being punched unevenly, which don't really affect the feel of the boots, but just show how careless they've become when constructing the boots.
