Description

With the Moc Toe 8849, Red Wing Shoes continues its American workwear heritage through a now-iconic silhouette. Originally designed for field workers, it embodies a rugged, comfortable boot built to stand the test of time.

Its 6-inch construction provides reliable ankle support while maintaining good mobility. The Traction Tred rubber outsole ensures excellent walking comfort and dependable grip on various surfaces, making it a benchmark in workwear comfort.

The Black Prairie leather is a double-layer tannage leather with a unique structure: a brown core covered by a black finish. Over time, with wear and creasing, the top layer gradually fades to reveal deeper brown tones, creating a rich and evolving patina.

Thanks to its Goodyear welt construction and wedge sole, the Moc Toe 8849 combines durability, comfort, and resoling capability, making it a reliable and long-lasting piece of heritage footwear.
