Oil rig workers, known as roughnecks, needed tough, rugged boots to help keep them safe on the job. The men's Roughneck brings this iconic Red Wing style up to date with rich Black Oil Slick leather, an aggressive Vibram® lug outsole to grip any surface, and Puritan triple-stitch construction with a Goodyear leather welt for long-lasting, resoleable wear.
Inspired by the boots first made for mid-20th-century oil rig workers—known as “Roughnecks”—this boot lives up to its name. Rugged, aggressive, and built to last, the Roughneck stands up to heavy, all-season wear.
