These Red Wing boots feature a deep black leather construction with a smooth finish on the toe cap and heel. The textured upper design enhances both style and breathability, while the lace-up design with metal eyelets ensures a secure fit. The Blacksmith is descended from a boot worn in workshops by day and shined up to go out at night. The 6-inch boot was designed to protect feet and ankles from hot cinders at the forge, and today it locks out dirt in the summer and snow in the winter. True to its roots, the Blacksmith blends construction and materials that create both rugged durability and handsome styling. Premium leather and a three-quarter Goodyear leather welt with Puritan triple-stitch construction sit on a Vibram® 430 Mini-Lug outsole that provides reliable all-season traction.
