From simple beginnings to a global brand, Red Wing started with a desire to create high quality, tough footwear for American workers, their use of high-quality materials and high levels of craftsmanship quickly saw Red Wing’s become a favourite in the USA. Their success has withstood the test of time and Red Wing has become one of the oldest footwear brands in America. The boots are crafted to provide much-needed footwear for farmers to factory workers in midwestern America, who needed tough and durable footwear for protection when at work.

Red Wing’s journey through the 20th century saw their designs and boots become a staple in everyday wear in the US.  The American industrialism period saw a need for footwear that could hold up in tough and sometimes dangerous conditions. From kitting out US workers to soldiers fighting in the first world war, Red Wing continued to develop its designs to match the needs of the working man. But it wasn’t just men Red Wing were catering for, the US company launched their first boot, solely designed for woman in 1926, crafted with a little more creativity for a different look, but still offering a durable and functional boot, perfect for outdoor activities.

Red Wing’s timeless designs are built to last and it’s easy to trace today’s iconic designs back to their roots and original designs. Red Wing 6″ Moc Boots is part of a collaborative range between shoe experts Red Wing and GORE-TEX, these Moc boots maintain Red Wings all-weather versatility while the addition of GORE-TEX transforms the boot into an indispensable companion in any condition.
