Some boots you wear. Others you live in. Red Wing boots? They go beyond either. Since 1905, these boots have been built to outlast time itself, carried through generations, worn through work, and held onto because they mean something more. On [insert date], we’re offering you a chance to connect with that story, and better yet—make it your own.
What’s Happening:
The Cobbler: Watch a master at work. We’ve brought in 'Dean Westmoreland', the cobbler from TV who’s made a career out of keeping things alive, and now he’s here to stitch your personal story into your boots with a custom Will Your Wings tag. This is more than repair—it’s revival.
Meet Chris Dent: When you think Red Wing, think Chris Dent. He’s the face of Red Wing in the UK and the force behind the brand. He’ll be sharing the stories behind the boots—where they’ve been, who’s worn them, and why they matter.
Drinks & Discovery: It’s not just about boots. Browse, shop, and experience the craftsmanship that has kept Red Wing a leader for over a century, all while enjoying drinks and good company.
A History in Leather: Red Wing’s boots tell stories of tough work, rugged landscapes, and real people. Chris will take you through some of the most iconic models, their origins, and how they’ve become symbols of resilience and reliability.
Freebies & Surprises: For those who value quality, we’ve got a little something extra to take home with you—exclusive giveaways to mark the occasion.
Why Attend?
Because you don’t buy Red Wing boots, you invest in them. Every stitch, every scuff, every mile walked adds to their character—and yours. The Will Your Wings event is your chance to add your own mark to that legacy. From having your boots personally tagged by an expert cobbler, to hearing insider stories from Chris Dent, this evening offers you more than just boots. It’s an invitation to be part of a heritage that stands for something timeless.
This isn’t fast fashion. This is craftsmanship that never quits. And neither should you.
