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 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 oils, tanning agents, and dyes. After soaking, the tanned leathers are rolled, dried, and stretched before undergoing several quality tests and being transported a kilometer further to the Red Wing factory.

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

CUTTING

The shoe manufacturing process, largely unchanged since the creation of Red Wing, begins with the cutting of leather. Highly skilled craftsmen carefully present the sharp cutting dies on each large piece of leather. Selecting the most 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 skilled operators to form the shoe's upper. They work on the same century-old sewing machines that were already in use at the beginning of 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 of the shoe construction process is executed perfectly.

GOODYEAR WELT

Most Red Wing Heritage shoes are made using a Goodyear welt. This is a construction method that dates 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, 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.
