From market analysis, to store build-out, to grand opening, Red Wing Shoe Company is by your side every step of the way.

Red Wing Shoe Stores are the premier destination for modern craftsmen seeking premium work footwear and personal service rarely experienced at retail today. They were developed in the 1950s to provide workers with a broad selection of high quality, purpose-built work boots and personal fitting by qualified shoe experts.
