Red Wing Heritage

The Beginning of a Legacy.

Red Wing Shoe Company was started in 1905 by Charles Beckman determined to make "Truly good shoes."  From humble beginnings Charles started the company in 1905 in Red Wing Minnesota with several other investors. Carefully crafted each Red Wing Shoe is crafted with skill and precision, and more importantly by people who care about the quality. Every heritage boot starts with the leather. S.B.
