The Rover is a boot with deep Red Wing roots and a rapidly growing contingent of new fans. The 6-inch boot is revered for comfort and fit that improve with wear, and versatile smooth toe style that makes it a daily choice.
THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE
The Rover was a name given to machine operators in early twentieth-century cotton mills and is also the name of our 6-inch round toe work boot. Made with premium leather from our tannery, and our Cushion Crepe shock-absorbing sole, this boot is built for comfort. The sole was first introduced on our work boots in 1952 and was found on our venerable No. 766 Cush-N-Crepe All Around Work Shoe up until the 1980s.
OIL-TANNED LEATHER
S.B. Foot Tanning Co. is best known for Oil-Tanned leather which is used to build a variety of timeless Red Wing styles. This leather is water, stain and perspiration resistant, and has a more natural look and feel because less finishing materials have been applied, allowing its natural beauty to shine through. Oil-Tanned leather is exceptionally durable and has been used to build countless work boots throughout Red Wing’s 110+ year history.
Please note the Copper Rough & Tough leather is made to look worn & distressed as you wear them in & these marking are completely normal. No two pairs look exactly the same which is part of their charm!
