CAREFULLY ASSEMBLED

Red Wing Heritage shoes are handcrafted in the USA using traditional construction techniques. The brand uses the finest raw materials to create extremely durable shoes and boots. It takes over 230 steps to manufacture each pair of shoes.

THE TANNING PROCESS

Red Wing Heritage is one of the few companies to own its own tannery: the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Red Wing, Minnesota.

The S.B. Foot Tanning Company prepares the hides and soaks them in wooden drums with tree-based oils, tanning agents, and dyes. After soaking, the tanned leathers are rolled, dried, and stretched before undergoing multiple quality tests and being transported a kilometer further to the Red Wing factory.

This is an essential element as the brand's reputation was largely built on the toughness, durability, and quality patina of Red Wing leathers.

CUTTING

The process of making shoes, largely unchanged since the founding of Red Wing, begins with the cutting of leather. Highly skilled craftsmen carefully place sharp cutting dies on each large piece of leather. Selecting the highest quality parts of the leather is a very important step that requires great expertise and a lot of experience.

ASSEMBLY

The cut leather pieces are then meticulously sewn together by experienced operators to form the shoe upper. They work on the same century-old sewing machines that were used at the beginning of the Red Wing Shoe Company.

SOLE ATTACHMENT

The outsole is manually stitched to the midsole. This is a complex task requiring great precision to ensure that the final step in the shoe construction process is perfectly executed.

GOODYEAR WELT

Most Red Wing Heritage shoes are made using a Goodyear welt. This is a construction method dating back to 1869. Known for its durability, the Goodyear welt involves stitching a thin leather welt to the upper and the insole of the shoe. Goodyear welted shoes are also easy to resole, thus ensuring continuous and long-term use.

FINISHING

All shoes are meticulously inspected twice before being packed in shoe boxes. Depending on the type of leather, each shoe is cleaned, polished, brushed, and finished by a dedicated team.
