This is one of the biggest unspoken-of deals on the market. Instead of spending exorbitantly for Red Wing Iron Rangers, which can range from the base price of $270 up to $400, spend nearly half that on a pair of LL Bean Kathadin Iron Works Engineer boots. Not only do the LL Bean boots (made by Chippewa) cost less, but they have a better, slimmer toebox, a darker color leather, better insoles, and even Vibram soles for better longevity. The only noticeable difference? The color of the stitches.
