Since Thursday the Red Wing Merchant boot (and 5 additional styles) are available in Europe, as a tribute to the company’s founder Charles Beckman.The Merchant is based on traditional work boots from the 1920s when Red Wing started making boots without toe reinforcement. This provides a more comfortable fit and allows for more flexibility in the toe. Style 8061 comes in the Ebony Harness leather and Style 8062 in Olive Mohave. Check them out at www.redwingberlin.com.
