Red Wing boots. Name a harder working boot. We’ll wait. From the Mesabi mountain mines to the silver screens of Hollywood, you’ll find over a century of archival inspiration stitched into each pair.
Not many footwear brands have a history as rich as Red Wing’s. It all started in Red Wing Minnesota in 1905 (of course), when shoe merchant Charles H. Beckman began crafting hardy shoes to withstand the working day in mining, farming and logging.
Much later down the line in 2008, the Red Wings Heritage collection made its debut, paying homage to the legacy by reviving archival styles with the same foundation and quality leather as day one.
Women’s Red Wing boots set the standard when it comes to life-long durability. Head to the womenswear range at END. for the 6” Moc Toe boot, which has been working hard (and also looking good doing it) since the 1950s. With design and function remaining unwavering, this legend is instantly recognisable by its Moccasin inspired toe, traction tread sole and impressive leather patina that ages like a fine wine.
Each heritage pair is crafted in the US, taking 250 steps from factory to foot. Each pair is made with robust leather, tanned at S.B. Foot Tanning Company — the Red Wing-owned factory that has been in operation since 1905. Little has changed and vintage machines (that have been humming away for over 50 years) create that iconic triple stitch line and Goodyear Welt. The result? One tough cookie.
