Getting a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers re-soled. Been having some problems with the knee I had rebuilt a few years back, so keen for a change from the cork nitrile soles. The official cobbler has quite a selection now, but I haven’t experienced all of them. Am currently leaning towards the Coffee Cushion crepe, as I have that on a pair of Weekender Oxfords and it’s super comfortable. But wondering if the Traction Tread is a bit more grippy and still forgiving on my knee. And I’ve no idea about the lugged Vibram soles as that seems to be quite a new addition to their range - are they very solid or do they have any give to them? Anyone able to share some insight?
