Red Wing - 8881 - Classic Moc Toe (Olive Mohave)

The Classic 6" Work Moc Toe, 8881, is modeled after Red Wing’s original work boot style, featuring Olive Mohave leather, white Traction Tred rubber outsole, triple stitched quality and Goodyear welt construction.

Roughout leather is created using a reverse-suede technique at Red Wing's own S.B. Foot Tanning Co. While most tanneries split, thin and weaken the hide to create the rough suede surface, Red Wing use the other side of the hide. By doing so, they avoid splitting or thinning the full-grain hides. This makes their Roughout leather just as strong and durable as their other leathers.

Red Wing’s Classic Work boots were designed and built to withstand the daily rigors of the work day on the farm and in the factory. The lightweight crepe sole featured a minimal tread design to reduce the mud that would cling to a farmer’s boots but still provide the underfoot comfort the work day required. Red Wing would brand the crepe sole as the Traction Tred sole. These classic boots featured a moc toe design. The name came from the word moccasin, the Algonquian Indian word for shoe. This combination of the u-shaped moc toe leather upper and the white crepe sole would become the iconic boot style for the Red Wing brand. It is one of the oldest Red Wing styles and a best-seller.
