The Red Wing Heritage Billy Boot is a footwear style that breathes new life into a model from the past that is ready for inclement weather and also offers a spot to store additional equipment.
The boots are named after Bill Sweasy whose father was the owner of Red Wing's almost a century ago and were originally created for boys. The boots, like the original, feature a storage sheath that's perfectly sized to hold a jack knife in place to eliminate the need to carry it in a pocket.
The Red Wing Heritage Billy Boot features a moccasin-style toe box with a Goodyear welt construction that sits on a Vibram sole for added support. Black Klondike leather is used to enhance the footwear that's positioned for an October 10 release.
