The Return Of The Red Wing Shoes Super Sole
Next week, during the upcoming Fashion Week in Berlin, Red Wing Shoes will release a new store exclusive in Europe. The iconic American footwear brand will bring back the Super Sole after many years! This exclusive will be available through Red Wing Shoes stores in Europe only.
The Super Sole release contains the styles #8801 Copper Rough & Tough and #8802 Sand Mohave. The construction of this boot, a Super Sole welt, is patented by the Red Wing Shoe Company. The boots have a special design, which makes it long lasting and lightweight.
The Leather Of The Super Sole Styles
The leather of the #8801 Copper Rough & Tough is a distressed pull up leather with an antiqued or mottled appearance that is designed to appear slightly worn, already broken in. There’re no finishing pigments used on this leather so the natural beauty shows through to add character.
The #8802 Sand Mohave is made with a premium, waterproof, and reverse suede leather. It’s originally designed to withstand the harshest field conditions. It’s outer appearance provides texture, character, and durability. Mohave provides excellent water repellency and superior resistance to stains.
The History Of The Super Sole
The Red Wing Shoes Super Sole boots were one of the most sold boots in Frankfurt 30 years ago. This is also why these boots are known as the ‘Frankfurter’. Read in previous article ‘Tales from behind the counter’ by Kami Hashemi more about the history of the Super Sole boot here.
