Softer underfoot than Red Wings without wedge solesīlisters certainly aren’t out of the question, though.The main differences between lined and unlined are that unlined boots breathe better, don’t heat up as much, and your heels are less likely to slip. The grain within the boot is instead nice and grippy, which is further enhanced by the leather heel cup that also helps to keep your foot from slipping too much. The toe box of the boot is lined with a thin piece of smooth leather, but the rest of the interior of the boot is unlined. This also means it’s easy to resole, so your boot will outlast any pair of sneakers several times over. From there on out, the boots become comfortable and supportive thanks to that thick crepe sole, This simple but functional sole is held together by a sturdy 360 degree Goodyear welt, further reinforcing the boot’s water resistance. One might think that would result in some problems in terms of stability and support for the arch or the rigidity of the boot overall, however, due to that molding effect which occurs after the initial break in, there is plenty of support. It’s worth noting that this boot does not have a shank. While a gusseted tongue can, at times, make for uncomfortable bunching along the top of the foot (see: the White’s Perry Boot) there wasn’t any real issue for me. The tongue is gusseted, increasing the boot’s water resistance. The stitching throughout the upper is rock solid, with tidy even rows and even a solid, three-row puritan stitching along the vamp. Goodyear welt construction: resoleable and water resistant.When it’s brand new (and a little overlit) Red Wing 875 Construction It’s Triple-H weight, it’s really heavy, and there’s a limited supply of that, so we like to conserve this leather and use it in very special occasions. In a previous article, Red Wing Heritage’s Design and Development Manager told us, This means a lot of quality control work to make sure the leather is nice and uniform in appearance. Because of the color and ‘clarity’, the leather shows every blemish and scar that would appear on the animal’s hide.
The leather is a HHH thickness, meaning it’s 5.5 – 6 ounces or 2 to 2.4 millimeters in thickness.
Oro Legacy is one of the most iconic leathers used by Red Wing. Thick and with distinct pull-up, the leathers are supple and oily when it’s new, if a bit stiff. (We’ve reviewed the Charcoal version here.) From time to time there are limited runs of special colors as well as other colors available only in women’s sizing. The Classic Moc comes in several different leathers which vary based on availability, but typically there are versions of dark brown (“Briar”), light brown (“Copper”) red (“Oro Russet”), black, and grey (“Charcoal”).
That reputation is well earned, considering that Red Wing owns their own tannery in Minnesota, a couple of miles from where they’re made. Red Wing has a reputation for using very sturdy, high quality leathers.
