Silversmith ladies

The Silversmith is a classic and at the same time modern women's shoe, which is in the tradition of the distinctive leather boots for women made by Red Wing since the 1920s. It has been specially molded on a women's last and is crafted from a slightly softer leather compared to a men's model, it also has a slightly lighter weight. The slightly raised shaft with five pairs of eyelets and four pairs of hooks also makes its silhouette look more elegant. The leather of the black variant is a uniformly colored "Black Boundary", which quickly acquires a beautiful patina when worn. The braunvariant uses a cloudy-dyed "Copper Rough & Tough" that gives the shoe a vintage look right from the start. Both leathers come from the company's own tannery. For traction, the lightly profiled, oil-resistant Mini-Lug-430 sole from the house Vibram®.

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.
