As you all probably know by know, we are using the month May as an opportunity to talk about the some of Red Wing's most classic styles. Last week we told you all the ins and outs about the Red Wing Iron Ranger styles, which have been a part of our collection ever since the early 20th century. But these are certainly not the only boots with a historic background on offer at the Red Wing Shoe Store Amsterdam. The Classic Moc Toe is arguably just as iconic as the Iron Ranger. Today we are going to tell you how the Classic Moc Toe originated and why it has been so immensely popular!
Meet the Classic Moc Toe
If we would have to name one Red Wing style that we could not live without, it would be the Classic Moc Toe. As ubiquitous as they are iconic, this style has become more than just a boot. It has come to represent some sort of a philosophy, one in which practicality and style are in perfect harmony. Their most striking features are the white soles and the 'mocassin' design, which, as a matter of fact, originated from early Native American footwear. Ever since its introduction, it has been the go-to boot for the workers they were originally designed for. But the Classic Moc Toe has also found its way into pop culture. From Young Money-rapper Drake to actor Ryan Gosling and athlete David Beckham, some of music, film and sport's biggest stars are known to wear these boots. We can definitely understand why!
