The Historic Legacy of the Red Wing Kangatan Green SuperSetter
In 1965, Red Wing Shoes introduced the 888 SuperSetter boot exclusively for Sears, named in honor of former Boston Red Sox outfielder and avid outdoorsman Ted Williams. Known for its complex construction-utilizing Australian kangaroo hide, a Scottish zug leather vamp, Norwegian water-repellent welting, and Swiss Vibram soles-the strikingly green "Kangatan" boot became an instant legend among sports and hunting enthusiasts. Decades later, the vivid green aesthetic remains one of the most celebrated rarities in Red Wing history. The 8180 Classic Moc Toe pays direct tribute to those archive roots, bringing the vibrant green leather back into the Red Wing Heritage line.
Goodyear Welted Craftsmanship and Signature Comfort
Built using the same time-honored methods established at Plant 1 in Red Wing, Minnesota, the 8180 features rich Alpine Green Portage leather that develops a distinctive patina with every mile. Underfoot, the lightweight Traction Tred wedge sole absorbs shock and prevents mud buildup, making it as comfortable on city pavements as it is on forest trails. The boot's internal cork filler and thick leather footbed mold over time to create a personalized, custom mold of your foot. Combined with a recraftable Goodyear welt and Puritan triple-stitching, these boots are made to last a lifetime.
