Not sure the Red wings are the same quality anymore.

Solovair are high quality. Blundstone is excellent as well.

Redbacks are better cheaper blundstones, also made in Australia.

I got my iron rangers a couple years ago and they're fantastic. I think red wing was juuuust starting to fuck around with quality at that time, but I think it was on other models.

The break in period on the red wings is legit though. I could only handle them for a couple hours at a time in the beginning. I would bring another pair of shoes with me to work to change into when the boots got too painful.

After a couple weeks though, so so nice.
