A few months back one of our clients told us about his vintage pair of Irish Setter Boots. We didn't forget and where happy he shared some pictures with us last week. Thank you René Schalk and enjoy your Engineer Boots!

Dear first time buyers, we would like to make you aware of the fact that Red Wing shoes tend to be one size larger than your regular shoe size.
Please take this into consideration when purchasing a pair. webshop[at]redwingamsterdam.com [more]
In a few days, and we hope not longer than a week, we will stock the new issue of Men's File. This issue has more pages than ever and feature steam trains, hot rod bikes, bicycles, military re-enactment, artistic women, roller derby, Ivy style, Paris in the 1950s and so much more. We just can't wait! Stay tuned...
It is always inspiring to visit the fairs, last week Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence, and this week Bread & Butter in Berlin. We decided to get our focus on Red Wing Shoes and we can say, it's good to see so many people enjoying their boots. Here's just a little preview of a huge collection of images which we will share online later this month at Red Wing Shoes Amsterdam. And there's more. Tomorrow we will sit down with Nigel Cabourn and Gabor Magyar (Red Wing Europe) to talk about their latest collaboration, the Munson Boot. Later more on that.
Red Wing Shoes - 8112 - Iron Ranger Oro-iginal
Red Wing Shoes 8112 - Iron Ranger Oro-iginal is derived from an old miner’s boot. Specific features are the leather double layer toe cap and the leather heel pocket. This model is tough but surprisingly easy to break in. The Nitrile Cork outsole is flexible and oil resistant. The oil-tanned Oro-iginal leather is versatile and easy to maintain.

Last week we announced the Red Wing Shoes Brogue that will be released this autumn, and just a few days later we can announce another fantastic collaboration between American and British heritage. The Munson Boot, the first collaboration between Nigel Cabourn and Red Wing.
When Nigel Cabourn found some vintage British Army combat boots from World War I he immediately wanted to replicate those boots, carefully made to exacting quality standards. And he knew Red Wing Shoes was the only manufactory who could do such a thing.
These boots are made using Munson Lasts, which haven’t been used by Red Wing since the late 1960s. The boots are lined with a beautiful army green Harris tweed selected by Nigel. The sole is made from a combination of vegetable-tanned leather and Red Wing’s original chemigum cork. The upper is made with a heavily oiled roughout leather to come as close as possible to Nigel's vintage Army boots.
The boot is a feast of details and we could keep on talking about the army green eyelets, the extra-thick leather shoelaces, the history of the Munson lasts and so on and so on, but we better wait until we have it in our shop coming autumn. It will be amazing!
