Even though here in Europe we are in the midst of a pleasant — albeit slightly concerning — Indian summer, the fact remains that we have just entered September and all thoughts should be on making the switch to the appropriate and suitable footwear to see you through the upcoming seasons.
I’ll assume that boots came to mind for most of you reading that, and I’m fully with you. Taking my assumption one step further I think it’s fair to say that the image of a Red Wing Classic Moc 875 may have manifested itself in your brain. I’m no psychic, it’s just one of the most iconic boots of all time and highly relevant in the heritage scene.
With a ton of versatility and durability to boot, the 875 was reintroduced back in 2013 using the original leather and hardware and honestly, it’s hard to imagine a wardrobe without them. These classic 6″ moc toe boots are made from the Oro Legacy Leather from Red Wing’s famous S.B Foot Tannery in Minnesota U.S.A. This leather is oil-tanned and naturally finished meaning that after that initial break-in period, your reward will be a truly unique pair, both in terms of fit and aesthetic.
Other notable features on this omnipotent USA- made stomper include nickel eyelets, a Vibram sole with more traction than you can shake a stick at, tan/gold laces, and of course, Goodyear welt construction that allows the boot to be recrafted when the time comes.
Available from Franklin & Poe priced at $300
