Work boots are essential for many workers, but they often wear out quickly or aren’t comfortable enough for long days on the job. Red Wing Shoes recently took a different approach to designing its work boots, and it’s receiving a lot of well-deserved acclaim for it.

Rather than guessing what works, as so many workwear brands do, Red Wing Shoes designed a new line of work boots with input from 3 million workers. The all-new Red Wing medium-duty work boots make everything from electrical work and plumbing to carpentry and warehouse work more manageable — all thanks to real workers from all over the country.

Before crafting its innovative IronFlex Work Boots, Red Wing Shoes did its homework, studying how workers walk and where pressure builds in the foot. The popular workwear brand also consulted real workers on their preferred boot fit and analyzed more than 3 million foot scans to create boots that feel natural to each person.
IronFlex Work Boots are available only in Red Wing stores, where the real advantage lies in getting customized boots that fit any worker's feet perfectly. It all starts with a quick consultation in which the worker explains the job they do and the environment they work in. Following a quick 3D scan that measures the worker's feet, including stride analysis, the worker pairs their new boots with the right foot support for the ultimate fit.
