Red Wing Genuine Collection..Handsewn in Maine

Old story but I still want one :-)




"The Red Wing genuine Handsewn collection features durable, rugged soles and thick leathers from our own tannery, S.B.Foot. Made in maine — the traditional home of moccasin-style shoes — with our leather and our signature details, the Handsewn collection is crafted in Maine.

Maine, once America’s footwear capital, has a rich shoemaking history that dates back to the mid-1800s. The Androscoggin river supplied power to many of the tanneries and factories of the early 20th century. This is where our Handsewn collection is crafted using century-old techniques. Today, the few workshops that have survived are proudly carrying on the legacy and tradition of making shoes one stitch at a time, by hand." from Redwing Heritage Blog
