Description

The Red Wing Moc Toe is a classic silhouette inspired by American work boots, manufactured in Red Wing, Minnesota. Originally developed in the 1950s for farmers and hunters, it was designed to withstand demanding environments while providing long-lasting everyday comfort. Its “Moc Toe” name refers to its moccasin-style construction, characterized by the U-shaped stitching on the toe box.

The Chocolate Muleskinner leather is a Rough Out leather, meaning the suede side is worn on the outside. This construction gives it a matte, textured appearance while offering excellent resistance to moisture and wear. Easy to maintain, it mainly requires regular brushing and occasional waterproofing to preserve its structure and natural patina.

The 8836 is built on the Vibram® Traction Tred outsole, also known as Cushion Crepe, providing excellent cushioning and reliable traction across a wide range of surfaces. This combination makes it a highly comfortable, stable boot suited for intensive everyday wear.
