In Minnesota in 1905, Charles H. Beckman founded Red Wing Shoe Company with a vision to craft durable, purpose-built boots that endure. These boots became trusted companions to the American workforce in the fields, mines, and factories. As the decades passed, the brand evolved, pioneering innovation in design and technology. The iconic 875 and 877 models of the 1950s cemented Red Wing's place in American culture. Beyond the work site, they became a symbol of timeless style. Today, Red Wing Boots remains a beacon of craftsmanship, sustainability, and American heritage, still forging legends, one step at a time.
