PROFILE |
 |
In an era when nearly all of the footwear bought in the US is made overseas, Red Wing Shoe Company still makes its Red Wing-brand work shoes in the US, as it has since 1905. The company's US factories make casual and outdoor shoes and work and steel-toed boots under the Vasque, Irish Setter, and WORX brands. It has about 400 franchised or company-owned Red Wing stores in the US. Although it distributes worldwide, the US accounts for the bulk of its sales. Red Wing also owns a tanning operation and the St. James Hotel in Red Wing, Minnesota. Red Wing called off a planned purchase of Kaufman Footwear (Black Diamond safety shoes, Sorel boots). The Sweasy family controls the company.
