This boot is patterned after style # 877, a boot that elevated the Red Wing brand to worldwide renown. First introduced in the early 1950’s, it was made with russet colored leather, tanned by using the sap of sequoia bark. The process yielded a rich color that was very close to the coat of an Irish Setter hunting dog. These boots provided excellent arch support, and had a light, cushion crepe sole. The 877 and the 875, a 6” version, became overnight sensations among hunters and workers alike. Together the 875 and 877 became Red Wing’s most widely recognized boots and icons for the brand.
