I have two pair of Iron Rangers and like them quite a bit. I wouldn't have bought two but for the fact that I got an exceptional deal on them.

The quality of Blundstones wouldn't touch IRs

When I decided I wanted a pair of rugged chelseas, I picked Thursday Legends over Blundstones. Not sure how I feel about them. I love the way they look but the sizing is mediocre. I ordered half a size down like they suggested and they seemed too loose, so I went a full size down and they're just a tad too tight. I kept them anyway because my use case for them is just throwing them on for short jaunts or errands (occasions when I'm just too lazy to lace up a pair of boots)

I'm considering ditching the Thursdays for Meermin chelseas

Thursday are quite solid for the price, you won't find goodyear welted stuff for really any cheaper

I almost prefer the looks of them to IRs. IRs are a lot sturdier though.

I have roughly the same Chippewas. They're not the Bean ones but Chippewa used to sell essentially the same model under their own label. Those have a sole like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0336/9821/products/Chippewa_General_Utility_Service_Boot_Tan_Rough_Out_2_1901G46_32f08e57-67fe-42e0-8a1b-3f13356f5c49_1024x1024.jpg?v=1511534630

Which has a little more traction than the old IRs, which had soles like this: https://images.ctfassets.net/70spxmhq4pdg/1EAPM9e0fZ0I5VnG0qxoim/27eb357adaaae3ddc4eacca770f8e73f/Red_Wing_Iron_Ranger_Nitrile_Cork_Sole.jpg?w=780

These are IR soles now and they're cr: https://embed.widencdn.net/img/redwing/74v15gxywg/645x645px/RW08085C_MUL_N6_0416?position=S&crop=no&color=F2F2F2

I mean part of the appeal is that you can resole

Now, I've never done that. And I own too many boots and at my current rate of wear I'll never wear out any of them.

But it's theoretically possible!

If I were starting my boot collection from scratch I'd get Meermin chelseas and like two pair of Thursday Captains. I really like cap toes.

I like the way my Chippewas look but I almost never wear them because they are a pain in the ass to put on and lace up. They don't have speed hooks so I have to unlace like 3 eyelets. Plus they came with flat laces which I don't like. They look sloppy if the laces aren't lying flat, so there's a bunch of autism that kicks in to the keep the laces flat as you lace them up. Awful. I replaced the laces with some round ones from Guarded Goods and it's a big improvement but I still don't wear them much.

The IRs were a huge score, I live reasonably close to Red Wing, MN and they used to do a fantastic factory sale every fall. Copped the IRs for $130/pr. They haven't done the sale since covid though.

I'm a 10 in sneakers, 9.5 in IRs and the Chippewas.

My Thursdays are kind of a mess in sizing but I'm chalking that up to them being chelseas. Chelseas just don't lock in your ankle as much which can throw everything off. I initially ordered 9.5 and they felt too loose. Replaced them with 9 and they're too tight. I'm pretty confident that their standard advice for half a size down works well for their lace-up boots. For their chelseas I'd say you should start at half a size down and be prepared for a round of exchanges and possibly just have to just walk away.

If you want good work boots buy nicks. You want good “dress” boots buy Alden cordovan (maybe viberg but I don’t have a pair to say for sure).
