What are the 5 charms of Red Wing's hidden favorite, the " Cavalry Chukka "?

Red Wing, a leading work boot brand, is famous for its masculine, rugged appearance and tough design. So it is not surprising that Red Wing has some classy boots. The “Cavalry Chukka” is a hidden masterpiece. In this article, we will introduce the charm of the “Cavalry Chukka,” one of Red Wing’s most dressy boots.

What is Red Wing, with over 110 years of history?

Red Wing was founded in 1905 in the town of Red Wing, Minnesota, in the United States. Mr. Charles Beckman, who established Red Wing, started a shoe sales company called “Beckman and Co.” 22 years before the establishment of Red Wing, and since the business was a great success, he established “Red Wing Shoe Company” to start making even better quality footwear. The company was founded in 1949. In the 1930s, Red Wing began producing boots for heavy-duty work, which required specialized knowledge to develop, and these boots became popular with workers. The company’s position as the “standard work boot” was solidified by the popularity of the “Brown Chief” series. Red Wing has grown to become a standard brand that continues to reign as a street staple. Even 110 years after its establishment, Red Wing is still a well-established brand that is highly regarded and loved by people all over the world.

Red Wing’s “MADE IN USA” tickles men’s hearts.

While many shoe brands are now shifting their production bases to Asia, Red Wing continues to manufacture its shoes in its own factories in the United States. Red Wing’s appeal lies in the fact that every detail of its shoes is not exactly the same, as they are made by hand by craftsmen using traditional manufacturing methods handed down from generation to generation. The company has been run by the family from its founding to the present, with some craftsmen working at the Red Wing factory for three generations, father and son. The products made by people who are passionate about Red Wing and who make full use of vintage manufacturing machinery are sturdy and heavy boots that are typical of American products. In addition, Red Wing owns the leather tannery ” S.B. Foot Company ” as a subsidiary company, which allows the company to handle all processes from leather production to shoe manufacturing in-house. By owning its own tannery, the company is able to continue to produce high-quality products at relatively reasonable prices.

What is the ” Classic Dress Line ” inspired by Red Wing’s roots?

Before introducing Chukka boots, let us review what Red Wing’s “Classic Dress Line” to which Chukka boots belong. Although Red Wing has a strong impression of rugged work boots, the company has developed a formal “Classic Dress Line” that is also suitable for dress styles. This series is based on the traditional Red Wing shoes made in the first half of the 20th century, and combines current shoemaking, modern materials, and modern tastes. At the time of Red Wing’s founding, leather soles used for dress shoes were also used for heavy models such as work boots and hunting boots. Since the series is based on the boots worn in such an environment, it has a unique atmosphere with a work boot element that is different from other brands of dress shoes and unique to Red Wing.

Did you know that Red Wing has two types of chukka boots?

Chukka boots are ankle-length shoes with multiple eyelets, a popular silhouette with an exquisite length that creates a stylish foot. Red Wing’s Classic Dress line offers two types of chukka boots: the “Cavalry Chukka,” known as the brand’s standard, and the popular “Postman Chukka” pattern. These items are characterized by a formal atmosphere that is different from the American taste that symbolizes Red Wing. Compared to the Postman Chukka, which has a rounded toe, the Cavalry boot, a good old American shoe inspired by derby boots, has a slimmer and narrower silhouette. Even within the same chukka style, the appeal lies in the different textures that can be enjoyed by adopting different materials and exquisite design differences.
