not really thick actually. the red wing sock is not as thick as u think but it helps from blister on the back of the foot and u need to get used to the ankle restriction since its a bit high and the thick leather will give u hard time and it will take sometime till the leather fully break in and for u to get used with the height of the boot. after u achieved all that yeah its a fun boot to wear.
i think timberland boots sells around rm700++ to rm900++. Iron ranger sell around rm1080 at Red Wing store at pertama complex if im not mistaken. or they did raised the price again... dunnue...

yeah. timberlands are cheapper. thats why it is an upgrade for me. I went with the timberland signature boots wheat colour... actually mine is not really a boot....but chukka boots? thats what the salesperson told me.

Cause I felt uncomfortable wearing it 6 inch high. It definitely made my legs look short since I am only 168cm in height. LOL

Red wing iron rangers on models look so damn awesome LOL rclxub.gif wonder if I can bring the beauty of the boots out

Timberland markup really high in Asia not really worth the money.
My winter timberland boots only cost me usd$50+, north face also around that price.

At times Kickstarter can find good deals on boots, but not many enjoy the long wait

Iron ranger maybe around 1200.
Not sure what timberlands u got but in general they cost more.

Timberlands are glue constructed while redwing are Goodyear welt
Timberland made in China, red wing made in USA

Breakin - not shoe trees. Shoe tree is used to maintain shape

why would i be joking lol. i mean of course u can start from the not so high end side la.. the picture is just a sample lol. that series is the more expensive 1

Haha I am kinda thinking about red wings iron ranger already. But my wallet don't seem to agree with me.

Maybe I save up for a few months to get it ba. Then again. I only can wear during weekends since it is not suitable for office wear.

Come to think of it, once I started working I don't get to wear all my t shirts, shorts and other casual clothing and accessories.

Kinda waste though

Get one made in China or Portugal or Dominican Republic and price will be lower. Made in USA, UK, Spain with leather made in developed countries pay up!

Goodyear welt in general also cost more, you can replace sole when it wear out. Your timberland,  sole worn out means throw away shoes.

Sorry don't own one, but read around for reviews

Own cheap timberland and north face for snow
Wolverine 1883 and a cheap Cole Hann for daily abuse.
Also have that Brooklyn boots
Timberland and red wing safety boots
Just score that Allen Edmonds.

Hope next year can find some red wing mock toe and stuff in their annual tent sale. See if pal willing to help me out.

If u like European style try. These are GYW made in China and finished in Spain iirc. High QC. A lot of fans.

Wolverine 1883 has a rubber sole? But you do have a lot of boots already. haha.

If I wanna count all my shoes, sandals and flip flops... I think also not as much as your total pairs of boots. I also thought of meermins & allen edmonds before too.. but wolverine & red wings gives me more of a rugged feel to them.

I wont say timberlands are cheap since they are priced almost as high as red wings and wolverines. I dont know about the other shoes/ boots that timberland offers but the signature wheat 6 inch boot is good quality stuff.

if i may add, i own both RW and W1K and my thoughts on them:

RW IR
- for rough use - i can walk in the rain and puddle of water without care
- requires breaking in (a painful process)
- more casual and rugged

W1K (i own the addison wingtip)
- leather out sole, quite slippery and not really for outdoor
- no breaking in required, soft leather
- looks dressier

so really depends on the "look" that you are looking for. if you feel the above are too expensive, why not try clarks leather boots? handsome looking, durable and quite reasonably priced.

btw, i purchased the above during sales, so about at least 40% off. RW at nordstrom and W1K at eastdane.. based on luck and patience..
*
good deal at 40% off. haha anyway to ease the breaking in part?
