Red Wing Shoes For the Summer

IMG 19381 628x418 Red Wing Shoes For the SummerThe news from Red Wing for spring 2013 season includes a selected line up of fresh and light shoes and boots designer for the warmer weather. The main attractions are these gorgeous shoes in brown and black with the classic cork sole you know from your Iron Rangers and a dog tail heel cap like the ones you find on Work Oxfords. They already made it to the top of my personal “must have”-list together with the Japan Special 7-inch round toe in portage red, the black Engineer boot and the SuperSole. I admit it, I’m a Red Wing addict.

The face lift of the accessory collection is now completed and for the first time you can get Red Wing laces in Europe without ordering directly from the US.

The charcoal rough and tough is rather interesting compared to the regular brown rough and tough because you don’t see the changes in colour in the darker leather as clearly as you do with the lighter ones. But the subtle effect will be there. Marketing manager Wytse Hylkema referred to it as a “liquorice effect.”
