 MADE IN NORTH AMERICA

     A thought for those of us who are concerned about the loss of the manufacturing base and employment in North America. Our best Red Wing boots,including the fabulous 2412 and 2414's are still made here, and not overseas. We have helped support these particular boots by reducing the price of the 2414 by $30 . They are really great boots and the vaste majority of wearers swear by them. So next time, take a look at it and keep in mind someones job and family income is supported when you buy this style ( at last reckoning, there are approx 800 employees working in the manufacturing operations at Red Wing factories in N. America)

Below are links to 4 short videos taken at the Red Wing plants in North America.  Real people, with real families, making real good products.

OUT OF STORE PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD

Also, where a card cannot be swiped, we are now required to make copies of BOTH the card and personal ID. Sorry, these are not rules introduced by us, but by the financial institutions ( who have done so much to help you these past few years ! ). If you cannot get to the store to make a payment, we can offer payment by PAYPAL. You will be sent a Payment Request and can use you regular credit card to settle the Request. ( this is secure and works very well for both of us)
