STYLE NO. 8181 : Classic Round
Famous for its clean lines, simple construction and classic round toe styling, the 8181 features Hawthorne Muleskinner leather, white Traction Tred rubber outsole, speed hooks for easier lacing, triple stitched quality and Goodyear welt construction.
THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE
Originally developed for farmers, Red Wing introduced the 6-Inch Round Toe work boot in 1919. Durable and well-designed, it combined the comfort of an oxford with the strength of a work boot, all while featuring a simpler, stitch-saving round design.
Roughout leather is a reverse suede leather made in our S.B. Foot tannery.
Roughout Leather
Roughout leather is created using a reverse-suede technique at our very own S.B. Foot Tanning Co. While most tanneries split, thin and weaken the hide to create the rough suede surface, we simply use the other side of the hide. By doing so, we avoid splitting or thinning our full-grain hides. This makes our Roughout leather just as strong and durable as our other leathers.

In order to build a Red Wing boot to an exact size and width, the boot is constructed around a shoe last.
STYLE NO. 8181 : Classic Round
A new pair of Red Wing Heritage boots should fit comfortably tight on your foot, with enough room to freely wiggle your toes. Over time the full grain leather upper, leather footboard and cork midsole mold to your feet, creating an enduring and customized fit over time with each wear.
The 8181 is built using the No. 8 Last:
- Features a bump toe for more room up-front
- Fits a variety of foot shapes
- Should be sized up ½ if used with a footbed or orthotic
