875 Moc Toe Boot 1952

Red Wing's 875 Moc Toe — introduced in 1952 — is one of the most influential work boot designs in history. The combination of the oil-tanned leather, the Norwegian welt construction, and the distinctive moc toe silhouette created a boot that was simultaneously rugged and elegant. Early examples from the 1950s and 1960s with the original Red Wing tag carry the pre-Vibram leather sole and the distinctive amber harness leather that has become the brand's signature. Value: $300–$1,000.
