Description

With the Blacksmith 3345, Red Wing Shoes revisits the heritage of American workwear through a boot inspired by early 1900s workshop footwear. Designed for blacksmiths, farmers, and laborers, it embodies a functional approach where durability and versatility come first.

Its 6-inch construction provides solid ankle support while remaining flexible enough for everyday wear. The Vibram 430 Mini Lug outsole delivers excellent grip, stability, and long-lasting durability, even on uneven or wet surfaces.

The Black Prairie leather is a unique double-tanned leather featuring a deep brown core covered by a black surface layer. Over time, the black layer gradually wears away to reveal rich brown tones underneath, creating a highly contrasted and evolving patina.

Thanks to its Goodyear welt construction and rugged build, the Blacksmith combines durability, comfort, and utilitarian elegance. It can be worn in both workwear and more refined outfits.
