Cool Hunting Video: Red Wing Shoes

Red Wing Heritage kindly brought us out to Red Wing, Minnesota to see the mecca of handcrafted workwear: the Red Wing Shoes factory. The bustling place is an endless expanse of leather, sewing machines, stitching and hot wax thread and has been producing workwear for over 100 years. Renowned for their sturdy boots, the team at Red Wing gave us a behind-the-scenes peek at how the durable footwear is composed by a handful of skilled craftspeople.

I hope Red Wing never goes away. Support American jobs!

[@mengngong297]

7 years wearing redwing safety boot, i still can smell the leather. Feels so good.

[@lbufal28]

I've absolutely love RW. I own two pairs (iorn ranger)(blacksmith). I'm a big time traveler. I've been to 13 countries and have truly put them to the test in the most dynamic environments. I do take care of them but dont baby them at all if that makes sense and they are simply bulletproof. They still look great and have the character and charm of 10yrs of world travel.

[@eulisespineda5098]

I been consuming redwing boots for 13 years now. I m a cable technician and I couldn't ask for a better boots. I love my climbing steel toes for work and my 1907's for the weekend. Thank you redwing!

[@NNNyancat777]

Best boots ever! Been wearing a pair for 3 years everyday

[@michaelbose9682]

Rwing Shoes are great! I weare Beckman and Chelsa Ranger. I like it very much that Red Wing Shoes are still really "Made in USA". For that even here in Gamany i am willing to pay the price, though all American Podukta are too expensive in our country: A pair of Beckmans cost 349 Euro here! Greet from Germany.

[@alfredozamora5867]

Wow.

[@kekistani2373]

huge fan of American heritage craftsmenship. I love my redwing beckmans 9011

[@datormacias786]

I am from Mexico, now resident in Germany. This shoes 👞 got to be the best made US American shoes. I am looking to buy my next pair and wear them till I go to heaven.

[@antaresatlantis6785]

calienteeeeeeeee

[@matttherrien9608]

I'm 40 and just bought my first Red Wings. I hope I outlive them!

[@Baitullmaqdis]

got my Iron Rangers 8085 ...a legend...my heart goes to the miners who were killed trying to earn a living back then .. the red wing shoes shows the struggle of people during the industrial age .. they are pieces of walking museum .. wear it with pride ... hailing 8085 and 8031 from the Far East of the Globe

[@alfredozamora5867]

Awesome comment. Definitely think of the miners who wore similar boots. Wearing with pride.

[@melindabooth455]

Totally agree!

[@highendtrends3508]

I love these boots! When I wear down my new soles, I will definitely send them back to red wing instead. Not all cobblers use that type of cork that red wing uses. Really makes a difference in the feel and comfort.

When a company has their own machining department to duplicate parts for their own machines that's golden

[@The1towatchout4]

I just bought my 1st pair of Irish Setter boots. Model 83605 6" They look and feel amazing! Worth every penny. I wear them every day at work.

[@chrischabra7417]

The Dog Guy I hear ya I wear them for 2 jobs and they feel like slippers

[@yourmom705]

Hell yea i have ths same model 83606

[@siriosstar4789]

Thank you Red Wing for not compromising on quality . I have had many pair , (well, not so many as they hardly ever wear out) , over the years and i will gladly pay more if that’s what it takes to maintain quality.

[@richardyescas1489]

wore Red Wings for 30 plus years working on telephone poles. The best. The acme of boots.

[@sunnydays4966]

Telephone poles suck LOL I will see your people work on utility poles, I was a utility pole inspector for a few years I'm was talk the word telephone pole as bad slang word.

[@stonehaven11]

Since I started working as a sales associate for red wing I can't bring myself to wear anything else. They are by far the most beautiful looking and most comfortable boots on the market.

[@salvadorjacobo9897]

I want to get a pair.

[@mohsinshaikh8199]

I have used then on oil rig and I must say they are SUPER STRONG & COOL LOOKS. Just Awesome👏✊👍.

[@victorvaldez8988]

A long long time ago I had some pair of Red Wing boots they were wonderful someday I'll wear some again I just got to save money

[@urstank980]

When you send in your boots to red wing do they add more of that hot sponge cork?

[@gwizz9175]

Loving my 2 pairs of RWs, 875s and 8111s. Do i need more? No. Do i want more........

[@memoenglish]

The only man from Egypt that has 6 pairs of Red Wing shoes.

[@matttherrien9608]

[@cabbyhubby]

I've wore Red Wings for 33 years 7 days a week, I'm on my 13th pair

[@9ner4ever34]

JohnnyBDyer I was wondering if they were comfortable.... but if you're on the 13th pair I guess so. Heard their pricy too. 😃

[@solventbased3153]

My redwing 1204s are the best boots I ever put on my feet. Redwing is king

[@redazi1]

[@BUTTHEAD81COL]

I love my redwings

[@d.k324]

Nice video

[@victororellana6676]

I like that boots

[@myvenusinuranus]

I wish there was more brick and mortar stores where you can try them on instead of ordering them online and hoping for the best. I'm in Vancouver Canada and you have to drive pretty far to even see Red Wing Heritage boots

[@matttherrien9608]

Toronto has a few dealers. Vancouver doesn't?

[@scottthorson1]

I worked for Red Wing in California,Washington,Texas. I was a die hard employee and I know the boots inside out. Even after quitting the shoe dog business and taking up oilfield work I continued to purcase a new pair every two years. With that being said I will never purchase another pair of Red Wing Boots. The heritage lines price point is absolutely absurd. And you as a company have pushed aside the workers that the boots were initially created for in favor of a freaking fashion movement based on a group of people that don't know the difference between a Phillip's and a Flathead! Way to go RWSC!

[@zulhussen6237]

How to buy the original red Wings bro bcoz in Malaysia I don't believe 100% I got the original here

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

You sound bitter. And how is $300 for a pair of redwings expensive when a pair of nicks or whites will run you $700???

[@thomastommy1192]

I have an odd foot. It's hard for me to find shoes or boots that fit just right. Do you have any suggestions as to how to find your best boot? I can't find any dealers near me. Can you help me? Thanks for posting a great video.

[@6565hopepy]

red wing the best of the best

[@faupoesias766]

Adoro botas!

[@bernardchupiekyong1001]

Wow where to get this kind of shoe look so amazing

[@jimflammer9370]

I never balked at spending $300 on a pair of Red Wing Boots. I treat my feet to the best products I can afford.

[@fron645]

Have never paid that much ever for Red Wing, look around pal and you will good stuff.

[@matttherrien9608]

@@fron645 30% off a product this expensive is great!

[@snoopu2601]

Red Wing should make all sizes from child size to young boys teen's to adults

Im a exwelder and i hve 2 pairs of pecos, the best shoes for welders.

[@rodolfoadaptar6399]

Why in the Philippines no have red wing store thanks

[@ismaelmunoz8244]

En mexico no ay a la venta este calsado

[@1Velez]

Partly hand made. This is why I own 17 pairs. No intention of stopping.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

What part isn’t handmade?

[@poppamonk]

That's why I wear Thorogoods. ALL of their boots are made in the USA and yes their is an American flag on the box and the boots . Union made also .

[@flamecranium7787]

Michael Monk yeah, i have a pair of the foam bottom boots. they lasted longer than i anticipated. i use them for rough construction, their intended flat, factory work.

[@Ricopolico]

Monk - "ALL of their boots are made in the USA" - That's bullshit.

[@05tech]

That's why there so expensive- $300 for some work boots?

[@NoblemansXchange]

I'm waiting on my Thorogood 814-4200s to come in the mail. Also waiting on my Redwing 8137s to come in the mail. Doing my own comparison...

[@r.lu.7869]

I use to buy nothing but Red Wing boots. Not anymore. I've been buying nothing but Thorogood Boots for 10 years now. Union made and made in the good old USA....👍. Plus it's a way better and more comfortable boot

I have level 2 in shoe making get for me a job

[@centraldeabarrotes2964]

Que marca son

[@user-sl3zv8cq9k]

sadly they have limited wide shoes,

[@ManOfTheDerp]

I would love a pair of red wings but I just can't bring myself to spend my money on them.

[@LK_EBM]

There's plenty at Nordstrom right now for about $150! Definitely worth the investment: made in USA, and goodyear welt. Think about it. If it lasts you 5 years, you're investing only $30 a year, which is hardly anything.

[@ManOfTheDerp]

gwath42 Yeh that's the problem, I should of said I live in England. Naturally living here makes these boots skyrocket in price they can be in between 270-400 dollars (obviously converted from pounds) here :(

[@DanDavis10]

same. I think I might start a little "boot jar" and just put a dollar in there every day, until I have enough. They're just so nice.

[@OkayThisIsMyName]

ManOfTheDerp have someone proxy for you, tons of fashion forums where people will buy the shoe for you and ship them to you for a small fee($10-15) which is much better that the EU price skyrocket

[@flamecranium7787]

better watch, some red wings are Chinese made

[@mattday4514]

What is the boot style that he is holding @ 1:16

I just don`t understand why they charge 300€ for a pair of red wings here in Europe. In every store, even in online sales 250€ is the cheapest you can get. Outrageous price politics. Not even a set of fresh car tires cost that much!

funny i just bought a pair of red wings and they are made in china

[@J03L01289]

E Vorstang Probably half or more of Red Wing's models are made in china.

[@scottc7179]

all heritage boots are made in us

[@The81titans]

I know this guy talking crap on video all red wings are made in the USA is bullshit. I have a pair to and they were maid in China. It clearly states on there website some shoes are made in the USA and some in China. I don't get why he is trying to put down Thorogood because they put a USA tag on there boots. There boots are just as good and truly made in the USA. Red wings go back to your roots and become classy again and not bank on the name. Keep it in the USA and don't talk bad about another great fellow USA brand like Thorogood.

[@westre]

There are two lines of Red Wings - Heritage and Work. The work line is largely made in the USA, and the Heritage line is 100% made in the USA. 100+ styles on the work side are US made, and 60+ Heritage styles.

[@benjaminmontes5501]

He puts down thorogood talking about not putting American flags and the boot and shoe hating on his competition

[@NoblemansXchange]

I don't see Thorogood as their competition. Thorogood is more affordable, better looking and more proud to be American union made keeping blue collar workers in mind. Thorogood is employee owned. That's a whole different mindset.

[@petesy03]

Bought a pair on holidays in Orlando $298 for the 6 inch moctoe, great boot but hurt at the top also too expensive
