The History of the Red Wing Classic Moc Toe and Muleskinner Leather
The Classic Moc silhouette dropped in 1952 as a purpose-built hunting boot. Originally nicknamed the "Irish Setter" due to its russet leather mimicking the coat of a hunter's dog, it quickly transitioned from field sports to farms, factories, and eventual lifestyle icons. The 8809 in Tidal Muleskinner honors this legacy by pairing classic heritage workwear design with a unique indigo-inspired hue. Built using S.B. Foot Tanning Co.'s full-grain roughout leather, the natural grain structure remains intact underneath the textured surface. Unlike split suede, full-grain Muleskinner retains maximum tensile strength, natural water resistance, and an easy-to-maintain texture that gains incredible character over time.
Engineered for All-Day Comfort and American Heritage Durability
Every pair of Red Wing boots is constructed to handle tough conditions while shaping to the wearer's foot over time. The signature Traction Tred outsole utilizes blown rubber to deliver cushioned support and steady traction without tracking mud or dirt. Combined with the No. 23 Last, the boot offers generous space in the toe box for movement. The Goodyear welted construction allows the boots to be resoled repeatedly by experienced cobblers, ensuring decades of wear.
