Ideal choice for first workwear boots that are both comfortable and robust . The brand offers fairly classic and minimalist models that will naturally appeal to fans of forest walks, puddles and screaming motorcycles.
We can praise their patina, their quality/price ratio and their comfort over time which should largely satisfy you before deciding to buy more high-end models like those found at Visvim , Alden or Wolverine 1000 Mile . A sign that after a century, the brand still has a bright future ahead of it!
Red Wing is a shoe brand that has been built throughout the history of the United States . Founded in 1905 under the leadership of Charles H. Beckman, the company aims to equip workers in the “ Manufacturing Belt ” with boots capable of supporting them for several years.
Equipped with high soles and reinforced seams, the Red Wings were chosen by the US Army to equip the soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force in Europe from 1917 and later in the 1940s (particularly in preparation for the Normandy landings).
From the 1950s the company developed internationally, in parallel with the growth of American industry, before experiencing a slight decline in the 1970s.
Carrying a strong cultural heritage, Red Wing boots have not lost their quality over time. The numerous innovations introduced such as urethane soles or “Featherstone” leather further strengthen their durability. The brand now equips fans of American workwear.
Its three flagship models are the Beckman, the Iron Ranger and the atypical Moc Toe of Native American inspiration (adopted by both bearded Canadians and Australian bikers). But you can also find belts, gloves and other leather accessories.
For a price between 200 and 350€ , Red Wing shoes are part of the mid-range of the world of boots.
