Photo 5 Courtesy Goodhue County Historical Society Red Wing Shoes was founded by Charles Beckman, a German immigrant who arrived in America in the late 19th century. When Beckman was 17 years old, he got off the train at Red Wing and found employment at a local leather factory. Working there, Beckman developed an interest in shoemaking. In 1883, he opened a shoe store, inspired by a desire to sell only truly good shoes. The store thrived, but Charles still believed good shoes were too hard to find, so he decided to become a shoemaker himself. In 1905, with 14 like-minded investors, he founded the Red Wing Shoe Company. redwingheritage.com 3

11 Genuine Handsewn Illustration from Red Wing Shoe 1920 catalog Red Wing Heritage has a long-standing history of unique and storied products. Since the early days of our craft, Red Wing has built boots to meet the needs of workers and sportsmen while staying true to traditional and proven methods of shoemaking. It is in this vein of attention to quality and reflection of purpose that Red Wing s newest Genuine Handsewn styles were designed. One of Red Wing s most successful boots was style 668, a hunt-specific boot that pioneered a line of Red Wing hunt footwear. A popular and stand-out feature of the 668 was its natural rubber crepe sole that deafened noise while walking and gave these boots the tagline, Walks just as quietly and as comfortably as you can walk in Indian moccasins. The combination of the unique rubber crepe sole of our popular hunt boots, paired with our classic handsewn leather upper pattern, creates our newest Genuine Handsewn styles exclusive to the Heritage collection. These new additions are comfortable, durable and classic. To craft these styles, premium leathers are sewn together using century-old methods passed down from hand to hand. The noiseless and cushioned soles complete the process to create styles that are uniquely Red Wing.

12 Genuine Handsewn Red Wing Genuine Handsewn Collection Made in Maine, the Red Wing Genuine Handsewn collection features durable, rugged soles and thick Red Wing Shoe leathers that soften and develop the perfect patina with age. Once America s footwear capital, Maine has a rich shoemaking history that dates back to the mid-1800s. The Androscoggin River supplied power to many of the tanneries and factories of the early 20th century. Today, the few workshops that have survived are proudly carrying on the legacy and tradition of making shoes one stitch at a time, by hand. The Red Wing Genuine Handsewn collection is crafted using these century-old techniques that have been passed from hand to hand, generation to generation. Skilled Maine shoemakers fit the leather to the last and hand stitch the pieces together to form the moccasinshaped upper. This style of shoemaking is one of the oldest and most traditional methods of constructing shoes. Each stitch reflects the qualities that generations of customers have come to expect from the Red Wing Shoe Company. 14 RED WING HERITAGE NORTH AMERICA SPRING/SUMMER 2013

18 Leather Red Wing Shoe Leather Crafting a raw, natural material into a perfect piece of finished leather is no easy task.

19 Leather All Courtesy Red Wing Shoe Co. Suede or Roughout Leather Roughout is a reverse suede leather made in our tannery S.B. Foot Tanning Company. Three of our leathers are roughout leathers Abilene, Mohave and Muleskinner. Most tanneries employ a process of splitting and thinning hides to create the rough surface. Abilene uses unsplit, heavyweight leather with proprietary tanning processes that gives it a unique, rough texture. Mohave is a premium waterproof, reverse suede leather used by the United States military. Muleskinner leather is burnished featuring visual texture and great appeal. ABILENE is a reverse suede leather also referred to as rough out. While other tanneries employ a process of splitting and thinning hides to create the rough surface, our Abilene leather uses unsplit heavyweight leather to give it a unique, rough texture. MOHAVE is a premium, waterproof, reverse suede leather also referred to as rough out. It was originally designed to withstand harsh field conditions and its outer appearance provides texture, character and durability. MULESKINNER As the name implies, this leather has the trademark toughness and durability of Red Wing quality leather. Muleskinner leather is highlighted with a burnished look that has a visual texture and great appeal. S.B. Foot Tanning Company The S.B. Foot Tanning Company was first established along the banks of Trout Brook near Red Wing, Minnesota. Founded in 1872 by Silas B. Foot & George Sterling, the S.B. Foot Tanning Company has been a part of the Red Wing, Minnesota community for generations. The Process Tanning hides into leather is the process of converting animal proteins into a stable material that will not easily break down. Once this conversion is attained, the leather can be finished in a number of ways to achieve the desired pliability, water resistance, and texture. Properly tanned leather can maintain its properties in excess of 50 years. S.B. Foot Tanning Co. uses fresh-prepared hides called wet blue. Wet blue refers to the blue tone of the hide derived from a high exhaustion tanning process. This leather product is very stable, pliable and durable a perfect starting point for highgrade leathers. To get to a finished state, the wet blue hides are re-wetted, shaved, and placed into massive wood drums to soak in tree oils, tanning agents, and dyes. The more time the leather has to soak in the chemicals and oils, the more penetration the leather receives - a helpful trait for concealing future scuffs and maintaining color consistency as the leather is broken in. redwingheritage.com 21
