Our Story
BIRTH OF HERITAGE
Red Wing Heritage creates lifestyle footwear and leather goods with an enduring commitment to American craftsmanship. Our boots and shoes are made for modern men and women with over a century of archival inspiration stitched into each pair.
Beginning in the 1970s, Red Wing owners in Europe and Japan began wearing work boots and shoes as stylized Americana footwear. Years later, the success of a Red Wing Lifestyle partnership with J Crew culminated in the launch of Red Wing Heritage in 2007.
Today, Heritage continues to build on Red Wing Shoe Company’s storied legacy with traditional construction and timeless design. The result is footwear that is crafted with pride to create quality that lasts.

THE ORIGINS
Red Wing Shoe Company is a family-owned business that was founded in Red Wing, Minnesota in 1905. Since its inception, the milestones have been many, including: The debut of the Gloria, our original women’s boot, in 1926, the creation of the 877 Moc Toe in 1952, and the acquisition of S.B. Foot Tanning Company in 1987. Red Wing Heritage continues to build on this historic legacy with lifestyle footwear that is crafted with pride and purpose.
