Name: Blacksmith Boot - 03339 Chocolate Muleskinner
Brand: Red Wing Heritage
Price: 329.99 USD
Availability: InStock

The Blacksmith is descended from a boot that was worn in
workshops by day and shined-up to go out at night. The 6-inch
boot originally protected feet and ankles from hot cinders at the
forge, and today it locks out dirt in the summer and snow in the
winter. True to its roots, the Blacksmith blends construction and
materials that create both rugged durability and handsome styling.
Premium Red Wing Leather, a three-quarter Goodyear welt, and
Puritan triple stitch sit on a Vibram® 430 Mini-lug outsole that
provides trustworthy all-season traction.

About Muleskinner Leather

Muleskinner leather is highlighted with a burnished look that provides a visual texture and
great appeal. An oiled roughout leather that patina’s differently than dry roughout leathers,
there is an art to achieving this distinctive color and it possesses a high degree of utility.
Roughout leather is often compared to suede, but there are important differences to note.
Suede is made by splitting off the grain, which makes the leather thinner, weaker, and more
susceptible to scuffs. In contrast, Red Wing roughout leathers are full-grain, keeping the
grain structure intact to retain its strength—often considered to be the most durable due to
its naturally water-resistant qualities and easy-to-maintain surface texture.
