STYLE NO. 8138: CLASSIC MOC Modeled after Red Wings original work boot style, the 8138 is a 6-Inch Moc Toe featuring Briar Oil Slick leather, white Traction Tred rubber outsole, triple stitched quality and Goodyear welt construction. Nothing says,Red Wing, like a moc toe boot with a white polyurethane outsole. Its a style Red Wing started making in the 1950s for sportsmen but it worked equally well on farms and in factories due to that Traction Tred sole with its minimal tread that sheds mud and provides the underfoot comfort the work day required. The crescent-shaped stitching on the toe was inspired by the construction of the shoes, ormoccasinsoriginally worn by the North American Algonquin Indians. Their Classic Moc Toe boots have since become a legend.
