Classic Prairie Boot

Red Wing Shoe originally developed the Classic boots with the legendary white crepe sole for some very practicle purposes. The Oro-riginal leather is supple, rich and created to be barnyard acid-resistant. The colour was inspired by the bark of the mighty redwood trees. The sole was designed so that it would not pick updebris, such as manure, in fields and barns and th ewhite crepe sole allowed the farmers wife to see if his boots were clean when entering the house. In addition, the shallow lug sole was perfect for upland hunting, a favourite hobby among farmers. The sole also made this boot a favourite of construction workers walking on high steel to build America's skyscrapers - a good grip with nothing to catch and cause a trip!
