Classic Red Wing 877 Boot
Red Wing Beckman 9011 Boot
I’ve just received an e-mail from
www.onlyredwing.com, and it has made my year
Kobe Playoff! They’ve finally got some Red Wing boots in stock
Zoom Kobe 6 (VI), which is just unbelievable. Red Wing Boots have been incredibly hard to get hold of recently, but this stock includes all of the classics
Redwing Boots Blog, Reviews & News on Red Wing Boots and Shoes, Beckman, 877 & 875 Boots and Engineer…to name a few. What’s more they’re offering members a fantastic offer for this week to celebrate their new stock.
One thing that did catch my attention in the e-mail (after the new stock and discount obviously) was the mention of the history of Red Wing. They mention the fact that Red Wing’s heritage was very much focused on creating boots that were specific for various fields and but also include style within their designs. Which is obviously still the same footwear brand that we see today. I actually think it’s quite sad that not many people will even appreciate or realise the background to this brand. The Red Wing brand did actually make boots that were so specific to different jobs, e.g. the Red Wing engineer boot that was made especially for the railway engineers to protect and support their feet when they were working for many hours a day near the hot coal fires of the locomotives. The “about” section of
www.onlyredwing.com really goes to town on the history of Red Wing and is definitely worth a read if you’re interested in the history of this brand. It offers quite a poignant message that every time we Red Wing fans pull on our boots, we are pulling on a piece of history.
Now, I’m off to make the most of this fantastic offer
Kobe Shoes!
