After years away from the lineup, the Red Wing Logger Boot has made its long-awaited return. Known for its unmistakable silhouette and uncompromising craftsmanship, this 8-inch icon brings back one of the most rugged, purpose-built designs in Red Wing’s heritage history. Now back in the 4585 Logger Briar Oil Slick and 4501 Logger Black Oil Slick
A Boot Born from the Woods
The Logger Boot was originally designed for workers in America’s logging camps during the early 20th century, a time when boots were true tools. These men spent long days in rough, uneven terrain, often in wet or muddy conditions. They needed a boot with height for support, thick oil-tanned leather for protection and a deeply lugged sole for traction.
Red Wing first introduced logger-style boots in the 1930s, engineered to withstand the toughest outdoor work. Over the decades, that same DNA with durability, stability, and timeless design became an essential part of Red Wing’s story.
Now, in celebration of over a century of bootmaking excellence, the Logger returns to the Red Wing Amsterdam collection: built in the USA, crafted from premium leathers by the S.B. Foot Tanning Company and ready to carry on the tradition of hardwearing utility.
Built for the Long Haul
Every detail of the Logger speaks to Red Wing’s commitment to function and longevity:
- 8-Inch Height: Provides firm ankle support and stability on any terrain.
- Oil-Tanned Leather: Available in Briar Oil Slick and Black Oil Slick, these leathers are rich, durable, and water-resistant, developing a deep patina with wear.
- Goodyear Storm Welt Construction: Enhances water resistance and allows for resoling, ensuring a lifetime of service.
- Vibram Lug Outsole: Offers sure-footed traction and long-lasting wear, equally at home in the field or on the city streets.
- Nickel Eyelets & Speed Hooks: Classic hardware that ensures quick lacing and a secure fit.
- Leather-Lined Interior: Delivers comfort and structure from the very first wear.
Every pair is Made in the USA and built to the same exacting standards as the original Logger boots that came before.
A Heritage Classic Reborn
This reissue of the Logger Boot honors Red Wing’s 120-year legacy of craftsmanship. While its roots lie in the forests of the American Midwest, its appeal today extends far beyond the woods. The Logger’s bold stance, robust profile, and timeless workwear aesthetic make it just as relevant in modern life; paired with denim, waxed jackets or work pants.
Whether you’re drawn to its history, its durability or simply its unmistakable look, the Logger Boot stands as one of Red Wing’s purest expressions of craftsmanship and heritage.
