Red Wing Heritage has a long-standing history of unique and storied products. Since the early days of our craft, Red Wing has built boots to meet the needs of workers and sportsmen while staying true to traditional and proven methods of shoemaking.
One of Red Wing’s most successful boots was style 668, a hunt-specific boot that pioneered a line of Red Wing hunt footwear. A popular and stand-out feature of the 668 was its natural rubber crepe sole that deafened noise while walking and gave these boots the tagline, “Walks just as quietly and as comfortably as you can walk in Indian moccasins.”
The combination of the unique rubber crepe sole of our popular hunt boots, paired with our classic handsewn leather upper pattern, creates our newest Genuine Handsewn styles. These new additions are comfortable, durable and classic. To craft these styles, premium leathers are sewn together using century-old methods passed down from hand to hand. The noiseless and cushioned soles complete the process to create styles that are uniquely Red Wing.
