GENUINE HANDSEWN COLLECTION
"Made in Maine, the Red Wing Genuine Handsewn Collection features durable, rugged soles and thick Red Wing leathers that soften and develop the perfect patina with age. Once America’s footwear capital, Maine has a rich shoemaking history that dates back to the mid-1800s. The Androscoggin River supplied power to many of the tanneries and factories of the early 20th century. Today, the few workshops that have survived are proudly carrying on the legacy and tradition of making shoes one stitch at a time, by hand."
"The Red Wing Genuine Handsewn Collection is crafted using these century-old techniques that have been passed from hand to hand, generation to generation. Skilled Maine shoemakers fit the leather to the last and hand stitch the pieces together to form the moccasin shaped upper. This style of shoemaking is one of the oldest and most traditional methods of constructing shoes. Each stitch reflects the qualities that generations of customers have come to expect from the Red Wing Shoe Company."
