RED WING SHOES / Chukka 3140 Oro-iginal

The Red Wing Work Chukka was popular among carpenters who needed sturdy yet flexible and lightweight shoes. The Red Wing Work Chukka features a classic white crepe Atlas Tred sole from Red Wing and three eyelets for quick lacing. Since no pigment is added during the leather finishing process, the natural character is highlighted. Designed for workers looking for a lighter and more comfortable shoe, it adapts well to daily wear and is dressier than a traditional work shoe.

CAREFULLY ASSEMBLED

Red Wing Heritage shoes are handmade 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.

TANNING

Red Wing Heritage is one of the few companies that owns 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 oils, tanning agents, and dyes. After soaking, the tanned leathers are rolled, dried, and stretched before undergoing several quality tests and being transported one kilometer further to the Red Wing factory.

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

CUTTING

The process of making shoes, largely unchanged since the founding of Red Wing, begins with leather cutting. 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 skill and a lot of experience.

ASSEMBLY

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

SOLE ATTACHMENT

The outsole is manually stitched to the midsole. This is a complex action requiring great precision to ensure that the last step of the shoe construction process is perfectly executed.

GOODYEAR WELT

Most Red Wing Heritage shoes are made using a Goodyear welt. This construction method dates back to 1869. Known for its durability, the Goodyear welt stitches a thin strip of leather (the welt) to the upper and the insole of the shoe. Goodyear welted shoes are also easy to resole, ensuring their long-term and continuous 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.
