Red Wing Postman 101
The 101 Postman is one of the most elegant and at the time most comfortable shoes of the Red Wing Heritage Collection. In the 1950s, postmen still took care of their everyday duties by foot. As public servants, they were in desperate need of stylish footwear that was worthy of their status and comfortable enough to see them through eight hours of delivering the post every day. Red Wing style 101 was designed to meet these special requirements. The black Postman Oxford features classic, easy-polish Black Chaparral leather and a cushioning Black Cushion Crepe Wedge sole. Therefore this style is the perfect companion for special events and daily life. This style is also available in a 6-inch option with the stylenr.: 9197, which reaches above the ankle. In addition, we offer a more casual option of the Postman in different colorways.
Made in Red Wing, Minnesota. USA

All Red Wings are already treated. Please proceed as follows:
1. Remove superficial dirt with a damp cotton rag or a shoe brush.
2. We recommend our Neutral Shoecreme for economical application and treatment. It is advisable to utilize the Red Wing Shoebrush.
3. Please let your boots rest and dry for several hours, so that the treatment gets absorbed.
4. We advise to seal the leather with our Leather Protector.
5. Feel free to polish your shoes with our Buffing Cloth.
Especially in the uncomfortable winter months we recommend to treat the boots beforehand to protect the leather from snow, dirt, and road salt.
We offer an elaborate repair and resoling service for nearly every Red Wing style with the original parts from the USA.
Feel free to send us your “old“ Red Wings for resoling or repair. For further information and instructions please go to our menu point Resoling on our website.
