They re not quite so hard on the wallet in multipacks and subscriptions.
The red wing iron ranger is easily recognised by its double leather toecap to provide an extra measure of safety.
Copper rough and tough is a little played out to me but a lot of people like it since it sort of gives you a worn in look right out of the box.
