The story of Red Wing is one of craftsmanship, resilience, and a century-long commitment to making footwear that stands the test of time. In The Red Wing Way: From Main Street to Global Legacy, author Dave Kenney explores the history of the iconic American brand, from its founding in Minnesota in 1905 to its evolution into a globally recognised name in footwear.
Through rare archival photographs, vintage catalogues, personal stories, and insights into the craft of bootmaking, the book offers an in-depth look at the people, ideas, and milestones that shaped Red Wing. From supplying durable footwear to generations of workers and soldiers to becoming a defining part of modern workwear and heritage culture, it captures the enduring legacy of a company that has stayed true to its roots while reaching far beyond them.
Published by Minnesota Historical Society Press, this richly illustrated hardcover is an essential addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an appreciation for Red Wing, American heritage, and the timeless appeal of well-made boots.
