Designed as a classic work shoe in the 1950s, it is now one of the brand's most popular models and a true footwear icon: the Moc Boot from Red Wing. This is not only due to its striking look and durability, but also because it is extremely comfortable to wear, even when you are on your feet for long periods of time. Typical of the Moc Boot are its ankle-high shape, the roomy toe reminiscent of a moccasin, its distinctive crepe sole with cold-insulating properties and the classic yellow-red laces. The upper material is a soft, strong suede that develops a beautiful patina over time. A shock-absorbing footbed and a soft rubber crepe sole ensure comfortable walking and standing, even for hours on end. The Moc Boot is welted using the Goodyear process. This and the carefully crafted white contrast stitching typical of Red Wing make it predestined for a long service life.

Work boots and shoes famed for their comfort and durability originate from Red Wing, Minnesota, since 1905. Red Wing treats the full-grain cowhides the company uses for its shoes according to a particular technique, developed at the end of the 1940s and patented for Red Wing. The company purchases hides that have been pre-processed with chromium salts and then tans them using mineral oil, hence the term “oil-tanned”. The procedure results in an oil content of 22% (8 to 10% is standard) and makes the leather exceptionally flexible despite its material thickness, hard-wearing and water-repellent. The quality of the craft corresponds to the high quality of the leather: Red Wing has its shoes mechanically welted using the complex Goodyear welt technique.
