Iconic Boots from Red Wing, Danner & Paraboot

When it comes to legendary footwear, Red Wing Shoes is unavoidable. Since 1905, they have set the gold standard for American work boots in Minnesota. Their iconic Iron Ranger and Classic Moc Toe are more than just shoes; they are legends built with a Goodyear welt, meaning they can be resoled for decades. For those drawn to the trails and the mountains, Danner Boots from Portland, Oregon, is the definitive choice. Their Mountain Light with GORE-TEX lining and classic stitchdown construction has defined heritage hiking style since the 1930s.
