Red Wing

Possibly America’s most iconic boot brand, “Red Wing” denotes two brands: Red Wing Shoes, which makes modern and relatively inexpensive work boots, and the more fashion-oriented Red Wing Heritage, which sells completely American-made casual footwear like the bestselling Iron Ranger and the Classic Moc. Irish Setter and Worx are two other brands under the Red Wing umbrella that also focus largely on modern work boots made overseas.
