At the Red Wing Shoe Store we love the autumn, a hike during a cold morning, a drive through the rainy hills of the south or just the windy canals of Amsterdam on an afternoon downfall. At the shop we celebrated this with a shop window dedicated totraveling. The three different Beckman’s: the Cherry, Chestnut and the Black, the Heritage Leather Tool Bag, Le Labo’s vintage candles and some really nice Tanner Goods accessories which will come online anytime soon. Enjoy the autumn!
Doing some American style haircuts and driving a real ‘Muscle car on two wheels’; That’s what Tomcats, the Brooklyn based barbershop, is doing. We really love this old style American barbershop, beautifully shot by r-e-l-i-c.com for their Harley-Davidson ‘The Ridebook’.
Red Wing Shoes - 2940 - 7" Classic Round Oro Russet
The Red Wing Shoes 2940 are the original Irish Setters. This 2940 Oro Russet Portage is a 7 inch boot, based on the 1955 RW 708 model. A boot that people wore whether they worked the land or in factories. Built to withstand the toughest work and weather conditions. Equipped with speed hooks, that allow you to put them on and take them off with minimal fuss, and a coffee-colored cushion crepe sole for outstanding support and comfort. Until recently this model was exclusively available in Japan, but we are excited to announce you can get your own pair at the Red Wing Store in Amsterdam!
All around Good Year welt. Maintenance: Leather conditioner 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

When we opened the Red Wing Shoes Store Amsterdam we filled it with vintage items, varying from old tools, miner canary cages, antique flags and signs, all from the United States. While looking for all these things I found an old bank bag and a new collection was born. A mere 1,5 year later the collection of bank related bags has grown to something around 70+ items, all different, from every corner of the world and from the early 20th century until today.
This one is one of the key pieces. An extremely old security bag. Fantastically aged leather, heavy weight canvas, beautiful stenciled type and a rubber bottom by Can Pro Corp from Wisconsin. Unfortunately the leather strap with the lock is lost, but it still is an amazing piece. Especially love the shades and winkles in the leather! Imagine your Iron Rangers 50 years from now…
And another Red Wing Shoes video. This time from the Red Wing Shoes Product Testing laboratory, the last quality check our products and materials undergo before they are introduced to you. The Product Testing team is of foundational importance to the quality of Red Wing Shoes products. They test everything to make certain that what the company produces and sells is of the highest grade and quality. From strength, to waterproofing, to impact and slip tests, we are proud to offer products which pass our tests so they can pass your own.
And here’s the video. A compilation of images of the Red Wing Shoes Factory and the S.B. Foot Tanning Company. The video is accompanied by some really nice live played tunes by Tom Kok after the rough cut by Daan Gast. Enjoy!
