worked hard enough, one could achieve anything. The founder of our company, Charles Beckman, was a big believer in this promise. As a prosperous main street shoe merchant in Red Wing, Minnesota, he saw ﬁ rsthand the need for durable and comfortable boots. When he couldn’t ﬁ nd boots that met his needs, he did what any hard-working businessman would do; he decided to make his own. In 1905, Mr. Beckman and his partners founded the Red Wing Shoe Company. Working ten hours per day, his skilled employees soon were turning out 110 pairs per day. Word of the quality and comfort built into every pair of Red Wing boots spread quickly and the company prospered.

Today a third generation of employees, located just down the road from the original factory, continues this tradition by using the same premium craftsmanship and attention to detail. Triple-stitched seams, sturdy welt construction and rich leathers are signature elements of a Red Wing boot. For over a century, this commitment to excellence has been handed down to these generations of shoemakers.

The Red Wing Engineer style was originally developed for engineers working on America’s railroads. The all leather boot, pull-on styling and minimal stitching protected the engineer and his boots from the occasional hot ember that fell from the locomotive’s ﬁ rebox. They were tough enough to protect against tough locomotive ﬂ oors and the buckle added a touch a class to match an engineer’s status.

Red Wing Shoes is known worldwide for making work boots for men. What isn’t as well known is we are equally skilled at making boots for women, too. In the early years of our company, we made as many boots for women as we did men. Our Heritage Work Collection for Women recreates some of our classic work and outdoor styles.

Since 1905 women have been a part of the Red Wing Shoe Company, working in our Main Street factory making our boots with their skilled hands. Today women are still making our boots the same way as the women who came before them, using hand-crafted leather and stitching the pieces to sturdy durable soles. Someone’s great, great grandmother would be very proud.
