Great to see more wedge sole boots. I love how comfortable they are. You guys should make a 6inch version in black leather and a black wedge sole. Even an 8 inch with a black wedge sole would be great too. Lots of uniform requirements don't allow for the gray colored wedge that you currently have. I'd be first in line to wear a pair of them on duty if they came in all black 🙏👍

Cannabis Farmer/Mycologist here in the mountains of Northern California, USA. My rangers are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Whether I am on my feet crouched taking care of plants in the garden bed, or going through rough mountainous terrain, these boots always make sure my feet are comfortable. I can heel toe and have total pedal feel. As well as walk around the property and forage for plants and mushrooms. Cant wait to pickup a pair of these AR8s. Much love from 🇺🇸

Best boot I’ve ever had. Wish I’d had these when I was in the military. I bought a second pair to rotate. They will seem freakishly wide in the heel when you get them, but the leather will fold around your ankle and lock your heel in after breaking them in. The toe box is also wide, but does not feel unnatural at all even when new. I use the factory insoles. They’re not squishy, but they have a great leather top that prevents blisters.

I've had my African Rangers for a year now, and still don't need a new sole... Concrete floor, motorcycle commuting, every day use. I use the stock insoles, and after a short break in, they feel great. They are not waterproof, and don't seem to be wearing out quickly even though we've had a very wet summer. I do oil them once in a while.

Great video as always, the new crazy horse AR8s look beautiful, however I'd suggest emphasizing the difference between the JG and STC last a bit more on your site, my size 11.5 vellies felt pretty huge at first so I put in a thick insole and they fit perfect, so I then decided to get the AR8s in 11 and they came out Noticeably too short. sadly it took me a couple weeks of wearing them in to realise they were too short for me, and not just tough to break in. I've sent them to a local cobbler to stretch them out a little which I'm hoping will alleviate it, but half a size between a pair that was too big and a pair that's too small I think is indicative of the JG last being even snugger than advertised. At least I know now and will be getting a pair of razorbacks in 12 soon.

I couldn't be more happy with my experience as a customer (had to submit an exchange and it was the fastest turnaround I've ever seen!), and a new boot owner. I didn't expect to love my Rangers enough to wear them daily but they have taken over my Vellies because I find them so slick and versatile. I'm excited about the concept of an "inbetween" boot! I love the look of this AR8, but I don't need 8 inch boots in my environment! My suggestion would be to maintain the look of the boot but attempt to lower it's profile, perhaps even coming with the Ranger sole by default. Maybe a rough-out version of this "inbetween" boot? Or a rough-out toe cap and heel for a varied look to the new addition to the growing line-up! Currently own: AR Crazy Horse, AR Buffalo, Vellie Tan (flesh out, not rough) For any ordering and curious, I ordered a half size down from my Brannock! I was able to fit my orthopedics (FP insoles, Gamechangers, 4-5mm?) still, but I wear thin socks, not work socks. If you're wearing thick socks year round AND have large insoles, go for true Brannock. I had no issues exchanging my size! Just be sure to not condition your leather, let it be natural until you're sure of sizing.

Well if you do read these comments then here’s a unique from someone who works in a muddy environment and needs metatarsal guards. Preferably internal met guards but externals will work too. So here’s the requirement ASTM certified steel or composite toe with internal or external metatarsal in the razorback or AR8 style. Need a sole that is heat resistant and puncture resistant ( I work in a copper mill doing heavy industrial work) along with a sole that can naturally clear the mud from its own lugs. As I work security black would robe preferred but it’s not a specific requirement for that color. Just a steel toe met guard boot with a heat resistant and puncture resistant sole would work ( the wedge is good if you could make it tougher to resist punctures by metal chunks or thicker )
