Charles H. Beckman founded Red Wing Shoes in Red Wing, Minnesota in 1905, and the company has stayed headquartered there for well over a century since. Production has run through several US facilities over the years (Red Wing itself, Potosi, Missouri, and a Danville, Kentucky plant that closed in 2010) while some styles are now made in China, Korea and Vietnam alongside the domestic lines. The heritage division specifically leans into that century-plus of boot-making history, built on the idea that some things are worth taking the time to make properly.
