Created in 1905 and named after its hometown, Red Wing was founded on the principle of making a lasting difference in people’s lives. Initially conceived by Charles Beckman to supply workers in mining, farming, and logging in the wilds of Minnesota, Red Wing's selection of boots and shoes have become synonymous with hard-wearing, long-lasting, and dependable style. While always focusing on outlasting the harshest working conditions without compromising its dedication to quality, Red Wing has been at the frontline of footwear, supplying American soldiers during both World Wars, developing groundbreaking footwear technology, and in the modern day, committing to powering all its facilities with solar energy.
