mink oil. because of this, the boot shines so brightly. i will let the oil work for the next days. also

From the Heartland
“From the Heartland” is a photographic documentary capturing the spirit and culture of Red Wing’s
heartland. After exhibiting in Berlin and Copenhagen recently, Red Wing will collaborate with
the Red Wing Shoe Store in Amsterdam to celebrate the launch of the online exhibition on
http://www.redwing-thestorycontinues.com. On February 10th the Red Wing Shoe Store in Amsterdam
will host the exhibition.
As evidenced by their enduring loyalty to their traditional designs, the culture at Red Wing Shoes
has not changed much over the years. That is reflected in the way the boots are made with
machinery often dating back to the early 1900s. Both the tannery and the plant employ multiple
generations of families. It is not uncommon to see classmates from forty years ago work in the
tannery side by side. These people take great pride in producing genuine, handmade American
footwear. This combination of tradition, loyalty, pride and craftsmanship is the foundation of the
‘From the Heartland’ exhibition.
The story of Red Wing Shoe Company began in 1905. Charles Beckman, a local merchant saw
firsthand the need for durable and comfortable boots. He founded the Red Wing Shoe Company
to tailor footwear to the needs of hunters, farmers and tradesmen. In 1986, Red Wing Shoe
Company took over the leather tannery located across the street from the plant. The tannery has
provided leather for the boots since Red Wing’s inception in 1905. Since then, word of the quality
and comfort built into every pair has spread around the globe.
great lace up boot with steeltoe. it is a factory second from the eighties. the silhouette is very similar
to the actual IRON RANGER RED WINGS SHOE styles, but with a higher bootleg.
yeah, and this boot is one of the causes why i have to clean up my boot collection cupboard. my new
old 866 has just arrived from the US and i picked him up from the customs this morning. what a great
ebay buy! i was looking for an 866 in this condition for more than three years.
sorry, but there is not a lot of infos about the RIDING SEPTEMBER blog. but there is very nice video.
enjoy it, get inspired and take a good start in this week. vid | pics | RIDING SEPTEMBER
