1905, Minnesota, United States. Like in the most classic version of the American Dream, Charles Beckman, a shoe retailer who found himself unsatisfied with the market offer, decided to make his own boots - comfortable and sturdy. That's how he founded Red Wing, named after a Native American tribal chief who lived in the land of the upper reaches of the Mississipi. Comfort and quality are the two indispensable qualities that have made Red Wing a legendary success since 1950.
