See those boots that Jake Ryan’s wearing in Sixteen Candles? I’ve made it my mission to find a pair of those for myself, and after years of searching, I found a pair of deadstock Carolina boots that are the exact same pair! They were nestled away behind dozens of boxes of other work boots at a quaint general store on the NY/CT. border called Saperstein’s. The best part? The guy wanted to get rid of them, so I got them for $40 bucks! So right now I’m sitting at the foot of the Berkshires, drinking bourbon, listening to Todd Rundgren and feeling damn good.

I’m just going to go ahead and call the Red Wing Iron Rangers the boots of the fall. They’re great looking, and like anything else made by the iconic company, they’ll last me for years. Just looking at them, I was a little worried about the comfort factor of these things, but after walking around the house in them for a few hours, my doubts have been put to rest.
