None of Red Wing’s Leather Uppers Are Vegetable Tanned Red Wing says that their corrected grain - that’s nubuck - leathers are just as durable as their other leathers.” “This doesn’t make them lesser quality,” Batson points out. Nubuck that hasn’t been oiled can be a little nappy, like suede, but it’s much tougher.
The difference between leather and nubuck is that while both are made from the durable outer shell of a hide, nubuck has been buffed to produce a more velvety texture. “Both the ‘Rough and Tough’ and “Yuma” leathers are oiled nubuck.”

“ Not all of Red Wing’s most popular leathers are full grain,” says Batson. The same kind of leather used in Timberland boots. Sure, who doesn’t want tough leather?Īnd as it turns out, it’s nubuck.

That said, not all of the Red Wing Work Boots are made overseas you can filter your results on the left hand side of the page showing all their boots, and find a couple dozen models that are made in the USA, though at the time of writing, none of them are available. Do so with their King Toe boots, for example, and you’ll see they’re made in Cambodia. Head to the “technical specifications” section of their workboot pages, click “Materials Used,” and you’ll see where it’s made. Red Wing does disclose this information on their product pages, but it’s hidden in the collapsible “Materials Used” section. Their work boot lines and other brands they make (Irish Setter Boots, Vasque, and Worx) are made outside the USA in Asia, primarily China, Korea, and Vietnam. Only the Heritage line is made in the United States. This is an area of the company’s marketing that’s a little murky: many of the boots are made in the USA, so “made in the USA” appears in big writing in some areas of their site, but it’s not the case for all of their footwear. Personally, I see no problem with making boots overseas, but it is important for customers to know their products.
