Moc Toe Men

The Moc Toe 1907 is the reissue of the Red Wing special edition for the company's one hundredth anniversary in 2005. This shoe has since been available exclusively in the USA. Due to popular demand, it is now available in this country. It is a classic moc boot, similar to the one we have had in our line for some time. What's unusual about this anniversary model is the double welt stitching (Norwegian Welt), the removable insole that allows you to use your own insoles, and the distinctive Rough & Tough leather from the company's own tannery.

Work boots and shoes famed for their comfort and durability originate from Red Wing, Minnesota, since 1905. Red Wing treats the full-grain cowhides the company uses for its shoes according to a particular technique, developed at the end of the 1940s and patented for Red Wing. The company purchases hides that have been pre-processed with chromium salts and then tans them using mineral oil, hence the term “oil-tanned”. The procedure results in an oil content of 22% (8 to 10% is standard) and makes the leather exceptionally flexible despite its material thickness, hard-wearing and water-repellent. The quality of the craft corresponds to the high quality of the leather: Red Wing has its shoes mechanically welted using the complex Goodyear welt technique.
