Collection: Pecos
Red Wing Pecos
In 1923, the Red Wing Shoe Company opened a branch in Dallas, Texas to capitalize on the growing trade in the Southwest. The region, known for its sprawling ranches, plantations and refineries dating back to the days of the Wild West, had a unique culture where cowboy boots, originally descended from Spanish riding boots, became a staple of the market. To penetrate the Texas and Southwestern boot market, Red Wing began producing the iconic cowboy boots in the late 1930s. By 1959, the company had refined the cowboy boot style and introduced the "Pecos" boot, named after a Texas town. They trademarked the Pecos boot and expanded its variations. The Pecos boot quickly became a favorite among ranchers and farmers across the country, gaining traction well beyond Texas and the Southwest.

Iron Ranger History
THE IRON RANGER draws inspiration from the archival silhouette originally introduced in 1937. Crafted for iron miners in the Mesabi Iron Range of Minnesota, the 6-inch boot included an added layer of leather across the toe to protect feet from falling rocks and rugged terrain. Speed hooks offered fast lacing for easy on and off. The leather insole provided comfort once uniquely formed to the foot over time.
Moc Toe History
FIRST INTRODUCED IN 1952, the 877 8-inch Classic Moc was designed for sportspeople in mind; earning the name “Irish Setter” from the unique russet leather color that matched the coat of a hunter’s companion. The tall height protected ankles against wooded areas and the cushioned outsole softened noise on every step.
