Red Wing The History , Production & Quality
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Red Wing is a brand that has manufactured footwear in the US dating back to 1905. Now if they haven't got it right by now .... the history of the brand, the passion of the people who work in the factory to hand finish and produce each pair is what makes Red Wing boots what they are today. History stitched into every seam, Red Wing's are the choice of many when you want a pair of boots to go that extra mile.

I work in the railroad industry, I work on the ROW and I walk on ballast almost exclusively which is brutal on boots and feet. I just started my 22 year and I've tried them all, nothing beats Red Wings. I would say that 60 or 70 percent of my co-workers wear them as well. I love the fact they are made in the USA. Keep up the good work !!
I am form Indonesia, My best friend give me a Red Wing Boots in 2010, until now still looking good, if i walk at the public area...peoples exiting with my red wing...this is the best Boots in the world.
They really are.
I agree!
You're gonna get attention wearing attractive quality made boots regardless the naysayers
You have good friends
I bought Iron Rangers 8111 2 days ago. While walking home i felt the urge to buy 8085 as well, incase Red Wing decides to discontinue the design. So now i have two pairs of iconic boots. I am in love with both these styles.
I bought a pair of Irish Setter Redwing Boots in 1979 with part of my tax return. Wore them hard for almost 40 years and they still live. The Vibram lugged soles need replacing now, but the leather is still good. Made in USA!
Two things you don't go cheap on is boots and bed you'll be spending time in both of them.
If I knew Red Wing made a size 5 I would have bought a pair a long time ago, I was buying Thorogood boots because they made my size.
i bet the ones made today wont last 40 years maybe 2
@@snoopu2601 You don't like Thorogood?
avery gentry
Many high quality boots exist, but they will need to be re-soled over time. Replacing soles is common for all boot manufacturers regardless of company, quality, and cost.
@@b.c.gamingss I like them I have a pair they fit well I like them. I want to get a black pair with the White stitching next time they are not that expensive like $200 red wings are $300 and up⬆️
Have worn Red Wings all my life, great quality boots / shoes.
I’ve been wearing Redwing 866 slip ons since I was 20 years old. Soon to be 60 and I still wear them to work. Keep a new pair in my closet. Best boots ever if your in construction.
I love this boots! I'm on my 2nd pair! My first ones I bought in 2001 and still comfortable and they still looking great after all those years. I take good care of them of course! And I just bought the new Irish setters, I wore them right of way, and they are the best most comfortable soft boots I ever wore! Love the classic style and they look great.
At about 2:25 minutes in to the video, my father-in-law, Wayne Karlstad, makes his cameo! 🙂
I've been wearing Red Wing boots my entire adult life: for work and for motorcycling. Red Wings are Top Dog.
Although, considering I have several in-laws who are retired for the Shoe, and I live in Red Wing, MN...my loyalty is pretty much mandatory. ;-)
Beautiful crafted boots. A joy to look at. A pleasure to open the box. A promise of long wear and trails to conquer. Thank you Red Wing Boot makers.
Only one word to describe redwing shoes fabulous ....
You mean three words: Fab Ul Us! I'm through.😂
I bet that place smells awesome. Love the way leather smells
Red wing shoes are incredible,I have one pull up one,I love it , it's durability,beauty,style, everything of these boots are fantastic,thank you dear red wing factory's owner and personnel,all of you are amazing,good luck,all of you guys.
It took me 68 years to realize how comfortable Red Wing shoes and boots were. I cleaned out my closet of some pretty famous brands and replaced them all with Red Wings and now my feet are happy all day.
You all probably dont care but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Bentley Micah instablaster =)
Thirty plus years as a mechanic and I finally stepped up to Red Wing work boots. They look & feel great. I hope they last. Proud to wear an American icon!!!!
Wrong!!!! Half there crap is made in China!!!!!
There garbage.
Thank you for some amazing Made in the USA boots, i have three pair of model 1412 and a pair of model 2292 i won't buy any other brand of Boot. Thank you again for the superior boots and customer service.
Thank you red wings company,a big contribution during my welding job...from phils.
One thing my Grandmother told me don't go cheap on your boots and bed because you'll be spending most of your time in both of those.
The redwing 411 boot hands down best work boot ever. Keep up the great work guys and girls.
Never mind the "ass" calendar at 4:03.
You beat me to it lol. I had to take it back a couple times to make sure I seen it right. Never miss a good ass even in the background.
I saw that too, among all the older ladies but hey there it is Minnesota der!
They’re not as uptight as you modern, always-triggered kids.
What a bummer.
From the movie, 'The Full Monty.'
Wow I love red wings boot's
I work in the oil palm plantation and my first pair was 10875’s which is still going strong.
Just Love Redwing Shoes.. Durable, Fits Well, Last's Long..!
Amazing, I have always trust Red Wings Boots...
Been wearing Red Wing Shoes for over 15 years it is by far the best boot out there
I Love watching videos like this...
My Dad started me in Red Wings back in 1982 when I started in building trades classes in high school. I am now on my 28 years in the Construction field. My feet has only seen Red Wing boots when on the job. The way I figure it I will only need one more pair before retiring. Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local #4 Indianapolis, Indiana.
I've worn Red Wings my whole life and they are the best in the world!
best work boots ever used, will not compromise for others
I'm 100% addictive to red wing all styles, im only take'em off for sleeping at night and play my sports, other than that ALWAYS ON Y FEET, also UNION MADE ;-)
I have used many brands of boots for work until I found and fell in love with my redwings 405s, they are the most comfortable and durable boots I have ever worn. I will only buy redwings for work from now on 😊
I love my redwing "pecos" benn using it for 3years now and atill dependable.. Keep up the good work guys!
And thank you for the quality work..😍😍😍
I have been wearing the Pecos 59 years.

Iron ranger.. Fits like a glove baby!!!
Once you've got your correct size you'll be hooked!
Killer boots man! Awesome product and they can even be resoled and/or repaired by the RW factory. Keep up the great work.
Red Wing quality is no. 1 in the world
What a great video. Thank you for sharing
very nice, good quality...
dam they have a custom machine for everything that shit is pretty cool
Excellent boot great show
I hope Red Wing brings those back to America,I love every thing make in America
I always wear them. Is pure quality trust me .
I’ve worn Redwing boots since I was in 7th grade. Always the original “ Pecos” pull on ( cowboy) boots with the cork color soles. I get several years out of each pair wearing them everyday all day long. The only bad thing is they are hard to break in and quite uncomfortable until they do. Feet will hurt for a couple weeks before they begin to fit like a old pair of jeans. It’s worth the wait though 👍🏼
Red wing my favourite shoe🤝🏻
I’ve been wearing 2412 boots for 15 years. Definitely worth the money
Outstanding product that I have worn for years.
RTZ except 90% of their products are now made in China with the same high price
@@zack9912000 wrong.
@@scottg5125 check your facts majority of their boots are made in China
@@zack9912000 you didn't watch the video did you.
Where did you get 90% from? Chinese produced footware are all cheaper. Not the same price at all.
Just condition my moc toe Reds...Funny, when I was a teen in Texas Red Wings were part of the wardrobe...My step father is from Red Wing MN and I visited for a year..He worked at Jostens and I worked at IRC..Red Wing, Beautiful City in the Middle of three Bluffs..I'm sure there's a huge pumpkin painted on one for Holloween. The Woodshed and Treasure Island for fun...Red Wing, Great place,Great people and the Best boots..
I've been doing upholstery for a living for 13 years and I really been wanting to build my own boots
I've been doing carpentry and electrical/mechanical repair for a decade. I really want to make my own boots too. Something like a military style service boot.
Me too- would love to build cowboy boots, but I don't have that kind of background, professionally. More of a sign/display maker.
Custom iron rangers!!
Very informative!!! Thank you 😊😊
Great boots.
Bought in USA... worn in UK.
Red Wings is an ICON
Beautiful
I'm a 3 generation rancher in south Texas and I'm outside all day ( sometimes all night ) working with animals and machines redwings have always been in my family ( my children and grandchildren now) the best quality leather boots.
I’ve been wearing Red Wing boots for 40 years. The only complaint is that more and more are made overseas. After seeing the employees that built the boots, that fact bothers me even more. I don’t look for a good deal, I look for a good product and I strive to buy domestically produced items. Greed will ruin us.
after 40 yrs in the workforce.
redwing "loggers"
best boot iv ever owned.by far..
rocky cut their own throat moving out of country.
redwings for me
I used to live one block from Rocky Boot Factory.
They moved overseas, now their boot is absolute junk.
Thanks you are great
You get what you pay for. These are quality
USA red wing shoes forever. best boots 4me.
Ive got my 8131(red color) red wings months ago and today my 8130(black). i couldn't go wrong with this ones. well done.
TOP TOP TOP QUALITY.
I am from Phillippines, Red wing shoes good quality
Best Boots i Ever owned Thanks !!
Please make Red Wing boots and shoes popular in Minnesota like a part of Minnesota culture!
Big LIKE.
Just bought a new pair of 10877's. Beautiful tool.
I'll never own a pair of Red Wing boots again. I haven't in years, just came across this video.
Unfavourable experience?
what a marvelous video, loved it!
Heritage boots all day long. Classic work chelsea, to chukka, to even the newer stitch out weekender for a sneaker like feel.
Uncle Pete you look good.Love you
In 2017 I paid 200.00 for a pair of 8618 oxfords. I thought It was a lot of money for shoes, but I gave It a shot and never looked back, these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. It was worth every cent. They are assembled in USA. The best money I have ever spent on footwear. As far as boots go, I can't seem to find a Red Wing boot that fits. Go figure.
I’m from the England and love my redwings
I wear red wing and irish setter now i know why thay are no cheap last for ever i have an freind hi buy 3 o 4 pair of boots from walmart so hi spend like $35 o $45 some time $60 so hi spend more then $200 per year in bad boots i still have my red wing working just fine ready for any project in o out side
Thanks great brend of boots
It the sole stitching that gives out
Tool & Die for over 4 decades . Of those years about 35 years in Red Wing steel tip boots { 4 pr .} I was in a Stroudsburg Pa . Boot & Shoe store . The owner is telling a young man in there with his father " get the best boots you can , but no matter what after a few decades of construction and you will develop back problems " I had to speak up " Not if you wear Red Wings , I have been standing and walking on cement for about 35 years and no back problems . I was there to buy my second pr. from him . First pair purchased there I had 7 years and they were lost when the Delaware river flooded in 03 ' . Red Wings , expensive but worth it .
To clarify... ALL Red Wing Heritage boots are 100% made in the USA. The standard boots, you can see on the website, on the left side use the filter "Made in USA from domestic parts." Then you will only see boots made 100% in America.
What are your thoughts on the Brogue Ranger Boots?
All Red Wing boots are made in China
They are not 100%. I bought my mom a pair and myself. They are made here of foreign and domestic parts unfortunately.
@@icedcoldkilla BULLSHIT. All heritage boots are made in the US by US materials
@@AngelTorres-rp8kw No they're not you fucking lying jackass
i wish i had one of those shoes ! LOOK SWEET !
I'm sold on the culture and product. I hope i fit in a pair of 877's.
Redwing number one
Just bought another pair of made in the USA workboots yesterday. 350$ Canadian. I think these are the 5th pair in over 20 years. Last pair is about 4 years old and still in very good condition and will retire them to my home and garage. I get a boot allowance from work so needed to use that up. My first pair I bought in Calgary, Alberta after seeing the surgeon & doctor about removing a squished disc in my back.I was nearly off of painkillers from a year of siactic pain. In three months I was off of the painkillers. ( not good for you ) I did take Lakota pills with the painkillers as the doctor said it wouldn,t hurt me. Lakota is an old native recipe of natural stuff. I don,t have any pain or trouble with my back anymore but do pay attention to any heavy lifting. They make equipment for that, loaders forklifts whatever. Only Red-Wings from USA for me thanks.
This is a great vid. Thanks RW!
Red wings are very very safety for me. Hi quality and really safety shoes
I have a pair of Romeos that I bought from Montgomery Wards made in USA all leather even the soles you will never find them made like that anymore I got them in 1980 and still have them there like a shoe slipper that older folks used to wear.
Caterpillar, Redwing, Timberland, Doc marten and King safety shoe are the shoes i have been wearing them since late 80s, early 90s and til now. My favourite brand for work mostly. But i do bought other brands from Decathlon, Under armor, New balance, Asics and so on. As long its comfy and within my budget.
as long as "made in USA" have better quality than "made in China," I will always buy American to support the people of our country.
+seacow2001 ^^
It's a short-sighted principle you are employing. If you buy American to support the people of your country, then people in other countries, following the same principle, should NOT buy American, they should buy only their own goods. Americans who work in export industries would suffer. I live in Canada . . . are you recommending that I buy Kodiak and not Red Wing? There is nothing wrong with trade across borders.
Who cares about other Countries.....especially Canada!
This is America!!
i see your point, keith. and i agree to some extent. but, chinese goods are cheap - both in price AND in construction. for me, most of their stuff doesn't merit buying. they don't seem to have much of a quality control system in their country. i've seen much poor design and poor construction in a variety of goods.
After seeing the horrendous business practices of so many greedy corporations I'm going to do my best to only buy American goods from now on. That and they'll last longer, American quality.
Best damn boots I have ever wore.. on my lifetime 7th pair.
This are the best work shoes 👞 Red wing shoes
redwing for life
I love Red Wing Shoes but i can't afford any!🥲🥲
Save your change!
They are still number one boot that everyone talks about, but other boot companies make good boots to
Do you believe Red Wings are the best pound for pound?
@@matttherrien9608 I been wearing Thragood boots and they are holding up. I never owned red wing boots so I can't say. I just know everyone wears them and talk about them. Red Wing's don't make my size 5-1/2 there are many other boots that make my size it depends on how person is wearing them and what industry's they work for some might wear faster than other's.
What about your factories in China and Cambodia? To be honest I always bought your boots until I found out the last three were imported but the cost did not reflect that fact.
I too stopped buying Redwings when I read the label saying made in China. If that's the case why am I still paying American made prices. I moved on to Thorogood but I still miss Redwing. 😭
Thorogood, Union made in Wisconsin! & less expensive!
Matt Weber
Interesting. How do their boots compare to other non-construction approved boot brands? I’ve seen the Thorogood brand name pop up on RUclips, but never invested any time.
606 is still made in the USA have to watch them when go store. There came out with China boot because many guys wont pay $200 for a boot. Watch the labels.
Read labels about 60% are still made in the USA. No reason not to be wearing them. I get it I got a pair made in China, they wore out quickly. Never again. MADE in the USA is a must.
Think I gunna own, near future a new pair of Redwings
Great footwear!!!🇺🇸
look at the calendar in the background at 4:07 :P
Lmfao creepy old lady
Thats pretty funny . I didn't even see the calendar . Was looking at what she was doing .
Butts uh huh huh
Funny that they zoomed in and still didn't catch it in editing.
Made in America 😂
watching this while wearing my iron ranger 8111
Gary Gavina me also I own two iron rangers 8119
I wear Harley Davidsons work boots but I think my next will be red wings
watching while wearing my Iron ranger rugged and tough Coppertone ... hailing from the Far East ...
Better have a B width foot or ypu are out of luck.
I wore Red Wing boots for many years. My favorite was the mock toe lace up. Very comfortable boot and lasting. Not long before I retired, they stopped making the Mock toe lace up. Not sure why. I purchased the over $200 slip on. One sorry boot. Not long after wearing them, they stretched out so bad they were not safe to wear. Retired now, I won't wear boots anymore.
@M M I wore those boots for a long time. No other boot made could wear that good. I ask the dealer why they stopped and she told me she could not understand it either. The company did not give her an answer. She said it was her best seller. Whenever you bought boots from her, she would remind you that in the rear of the store was a cleaning station and mink oil to keep the boots in good shape Not many stores will do that for their customer.
The best damn footwear in the world. Period.
allfasten best boots in the world are my half cut oxblood doctor martins 17 years of daily wear
allfasten period means something completely different in my country 😂🤣
@@vicioussyd6870 have the soles ever needed repair? I would imagine so.
I bought a pair on my 33rd birthday i believe it was im 53 this year the rubber bottoms finnaly gave out the rubber souls or watever the yelllowish colored rubber stuff is oon the soles finaly dry rotted the leather still looks great except a nick or 2 from my broken gas pedal in my old trjuck wish i could get em resoled ,probly lasy another 30 yrs if i could or till they dry rot lol,i keep the leathet. Polished and cleaned ever so often in hopes to get em fixed ,really are the most durable boot ive ever owned my brother drove over the rd and in a scrap yard inhhis for probly even longer his look a bit rougher but just as dry and his black soles out lasted mine
The best brend on work boots
I hope Red Wing brings those jobs back to America.
E Vorstang Liar
Red Wing does make some stuff in China - be aware. It sells for cheaper price but is not worth buying.
E Vorstang Some red wing products are made in china you fucking idiot.
Fucking shit, this is horrible. I've never seen $300 Chinese Red Wings. The same thing is happening with DrMartens - make sure you buy English made.
I've had a China made pair of Red wings for over 10 years...still lasting the winters here in Maine
My Redwings lasted about a year and then the sole parted where they are laminated, I could have them repaired by a local shop or send them back to the factory either way cost was about $100, new shoes were a little over that so I passed.
I had my old redwings for 11 years till I tossed them. they were my brother's for 5 years before he sold them to me. I had no idea about the redwings reputation, so I used them as a framer, longshoreman and other warehouse jobs. for a year I worked in a dish room, lots of water on the floor. they were comfortable to wear so I wore them day in and day out.
they never leaked and my feet never froze. walking in snow on my framer job or wet dish room floors. not to mention the time someone dropped a heavy pallet on my foot.
they never quit and I probably could have had the boot resoled. but I did not know that could be done.
I beat that boot really bad. mud on it and snow. stepping in puddles carrying wood.
.
Mine lasted 3 years until I got tired of sticking my hand inside to keep my heel from catching the insulation. I used mine heavily in the oilfield and never fell apart.
4:39, nice calendar
I'm seeing a lot of complaints about Red Wings being built in China. It is unfortunate that it is happening, but no one is willing to pay a minimal of $200 on a pair of boots. I work in a store and have a hard enough time with some people being willing to pay over a $100 on a pair of boots. Don't complain about Red Wing, complain about all the Wal Mart shoppers who just want cheap crap.
Many of us will pay the extra money for US made stuff my redwings are over ten years old and they are great boots. But since they decided to sell out to china i will go somewhere else when its time for another pair. I dont care if some are still made in the US the fact that some are made in china is enough to look elsewhere maybe Whites or Wesco even more expensive but you get what you pay for when its US made. People that want a true workboot wont go to walmart and get chinese made garbage. Those things need to be replaced every few months.
lol or they went to a redwing store or to the website and saw that half the boots are made in china.
E Vorstang Liar.
not me. they day they move to china is the day I leave them as a customer. KEEM THEM IN THE USA..100 PERCENT
Too late they are already mostly made in china. Only the old styles are still made in the US and that number is shrinking.
I have a pair of Made in China Red Wind Moc toe boots and I love them! Incredible fit I must say I have the same boot in thoroughgood an I find that they are a tiny bit more comfortable
Says 10 years ago this was put on RUclips I just wonder if they are still made in the U.S.A.
