Story An American icon beloved for its standout style and long-lasting construction Originally built in the 1930s for iron miners who required a protective layer of leather over the toe, the Iron Ranger updates a heritage design with Puritan, triple-stitch construction and brass speed hooks for a visual hit of hardware. It's crafted from water, stain, and perspiration-resistant leather and each pair develops a personalized fit over time thanks to the leather insoles and cork midsole. Consider these kicks an invitation to become part of the ever-evolving legacy of this time-honored silhouette.
