Red Wing® Vintage Early 90's Postman 9196 Black Leather Chukka Boots Size 7D

RETAIL PRICE: $259.99

Style No: 9196 Postman Chukka

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Inspired by the 101, the 9196 is a chukka style rather than an oxford, and is crafted with Black Chaparral leather, a black cushion crepe and wedge outsole for a classic look.

THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE

Designed to meet Postal Service requirements, the 101 is sturdy, sleek and simplistic and these characteristics served America’s mailmen well. First introduced in 1954, Red Wing expands on this style with the more casual variations. Built using the same leather upper as the 101 including a dog tail, blind eyelets and a Goodyear Welt. The cushion crepe outsole gives these boots as much comfort as the 101, allowing for the longer walks, as a postman would.
