Red Wing, Minn. — Red Wing Shoe Company, a global leader in the footwear industry for more than 110 years, has opened a flagship retail store in New York City. The company’s first permanent presence in Manhattan, open now, includes a tribute to the workers who helped build the city.

In addition to selling Red Wing’s famed purpose-built work boots and stylish Heritage collection, the store also offers expert shoe-fitting and refurbishing services, along with experiential displays.

“Red Wing Shoes have been a mainstay on New York City job sites for more than a century, but until now we haven’t had a physical presence in Manhattan,” says Mark Urdahl, Red Wing’s chief executive officer. “We are excited to make it easier than ever for New York’s workers, residents and visitors to find the right product and services for their needs, whether it’s working on a construction site or commuting to the office.”
