I think the sale price on iron rangers is $221. And since you're not in EU, you don't pay VAT, so net would be like $200. Shipping is about $20 on top...

What style of Iron Ranger did you pick up?

[SwedeAlex]

^Very Very nice Loake Burfords up there! I´ve had my eyes on them for a while but never pulled the trigger on them. Might cop in spring though. Since I just copped a pair of Wolverine Addison 1000 Mile Boots. But still a great look!

[SwedeAlex]

I love'em. I maybe should have gotten a pair of BHs, though. (this will be my third pair of SDs)

What do you think of the quality?

[mikedbt5]

What do you think of the quality?

Cosmetically they are very good , not 100 % perfect . My pair were a display pair , got a £25 dicount . Other than minmal marking from handling there were some very small dark marks close to where the uppers and sole join and one boot has a minute nick on the edge of the first sole near the stitching . Compared to the abuse they will get over the coming years these are extremely negligible . The shade/colour of tan is wonderful and in general they appear what they proclaim to be - a traditional well made English country boot .

I do not know the quality of the leather used in thiei manufacture however I done a good few miles walking in them today and the uppers where very supple yet creased little . I had a thin protective rubber sole applied but the walking expereience was vey comfortable . For the price I got them for I am very pleased and even though I have owned these only a few days I would recommend them .

[AntiHero84]

Good to hear. Loake has gotten good reviews elsewhere, but this was the first time I've seen anyone with their brogued boots. I've had my eye one a pair for a long time, but we'll see if I ever make it over to the UK.

I owned some Loake Chelsea boots - they were cheaper than some recent Loake I've seen, the leather wasn't up to the standard of Tricker's - but they were on a par with, say, Paul Smith. I wouldn't buy them over Tricker's but they're good boots.

...pfff you guys and your bankrolls, here are my thrifted police boots from (don't know when) wish i could afford something nicer, one day...until then these will have to do

1.5 yr old Hugo boss chelsea boots with obenaufs. Looks much nicer in person

I had picked these up for 100 brand new.

[jstavrin]

...are they green?

[triumph.man]

It's a really dark hunter green with a soft cowhide. The flash and oil makes them look more green then they really are

Prior to eventually opting for the Loakes I looked at Trickers boots , only one shop stocks them in Belfast . And whilst they are a notch up on the Loakes and beautiful boots , I didn't feel it was worth paying twice the money . Iif I had bought a piar I probably would just sit and adore them and not wear them , lol !!!

Just ordered a pair of Wolverine Addison 1000 Mile Boots yesterday, they already shipped so I´ll post pics when they get here.

Need them here in cold, snowy Sweden!

Ah, that was THe Bureau? Looks like a great shop. I tried on all the Tricker's in Jermyn street - then bought mine from the factory shop in eBay for £150 (they tend to sell stuff in batches, nothing for months, then a couple of weeks of sales). But the Loakes were definitely good boots for the money.

Nice mike, I've had my eyes on those Loake Burfords for a while - I currently wear the Loake Evolution brogue monk shoes for work and I love them. These are a G width fitting and the Burfords only come in an F so I'm not sure how much difference that will make.

I prefer the Loake toe shape to the Trickers, which seems a little more agricultural and less refined. Grenson make something similar - the Stanley (?) but I'm not sure of their quality these days.

[mikedbt5]

Maynard , My Burfords are a 7 1/2 and are a comfortable fit , I usually take an 8 . I thought the F fitting along with the slimmer profile would require an 8 1/2 but was surprised . Ironically I prefer the "agricultural " look but still am really happy with the Burfords , they mix style and tradition . I would love a boot similar to the design of my Winstanleys (now defunct Irish shoemaker)

Paul T , The Bureau is a neat shop , very upmarket for Belfast . It seems they do more online trade than through the shop though . I visit it now and again to window shop and only purchase in January sales !! £150 for your boots was a great bargain unfortunately the ebay factory shop had nothing I was interersted in at the time .
