@MrJosephsoto Looks like there are a number of stores authorized to sell Red Wings in your area, but the closest Red Wing Shoe Store is quite a distance from you: El Cajon, CA to be exact. I'll find out if we have an authorized repair shop near you, and how you can arrange to have them sent in for repair. If there's nothing close, we can find a way to have you send them to Red Wing, MN for repair at the factory.
@MrJosephsoto Looks like you need to either contact the store in El Cajon, or you can send them directly to our shop in Red Wing. If you have more questions regarding repair options or to request a shipping label I suggest phoning our repair staff at 1-800-328-9453 or email them at shoe.repair at redwingshoes com Our Repair Shop is staffed from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm CST Monday thru Thursday and 6:00 am to 12:00 pm on Friday
@MrJosephsoto Where are you located? Your best bet is to take them to a Red Wing Shoe Store if there is one in your area. Regardless, let us know and we can see if there's an authorized repair shop near you. Red Wing Shoe Stores show up as red icons in the results on our store finder page on the Red Wing Shoes site.
to call people who have actually laughed at people who have sent their shoes/boots in for for repair to either Red Wing, or Shoe repair businesses, think about it this way...you buy a pair for 150.00 every year for five years for 750.00...Great! If your boss pays for them even greater!
Repair them 2 times, for 80.00 each time, and then repeat. 600.00 instead of 750.00* I am not saying it is a sin to keep buying new ones, but think about the 150.00 you have saved! what could you do with that?!!
Growing up in MN Red Wing shoes is great, however my experience is many stores will tell you a shoe can't be repaired when it really can. I've had multiple pairs perfectly re-soled or re-stiched by independent cobblers when a Red Wing sales person told me it couldn't be fixed....
@ericl530 In most cases, the final determination of whether a boot can be repaired requires the sole to be removed. A visual inspection isn’t the final answer. This is done by cutting the boot with a band saw. Once the sole is removed, the repairman can determine if the structure of the boot is solid enough to accept a new sole. However, once the boot is cut it is either a candidate for repair or the trash. There is no turning back.
Store personnel maybe hesitant to send questionable boots onto our repair shop as there is shipping expense involved. There is no argument that a shoe repair shop likely has a better eye than a shoe salesman in one of our stores. We would prefer our boots be repaired instead of thrown away. We build them with so they can be repaired.
If you have a repair shop you are comfortable with, I suggest you continue to use them. We sell replacement parts for our boots to shoe repair shops all over the country. Doing business locally is just fine with us. Thanks for your comments.
Hey! I'm really interested in buying a pair of Red Wing boots or chukkas for the winter, but I don't know how they would cope with the rough climate, it reaches -30 celsius sometimes here in Finland, and since they don't have thick lining, how warm are they really? Cheers!
i saw this video a few weeks ago..i had a pair of red wing boots years ago..i was inspired by the craftsmanship that still exists today by this company..i went out last week and purchased the oil tanned brown moc boot and love them...took a bit to break in..but the quality is hands down one of the best in the world! i was proud to support this company again
Great to see an American company still standing behind their product and serving the communities they do business in. Old American values!!! Bring it back!!!!
@jmedrano2187 yeah but red wing needs to stop making some of them in china and start making them ALL here like they used to. The extra money is well worth the investment.
@dualoc3 When and to whom did you send emails, dualoc? We certainly want to make sure you can get connected with our repair department. Generally we direct people to bring boots in to a Red Wing Shoe Store to arrange for repair work, but if you'd like to talk to someone directly you can give us a call during business hours at 1-800-733-9464
@RedWingShoeCompany I sent two emails within this month, and both were sent to the customer service address listed on Red Wing Shoes' website. I'm outside of the U.S. and I was planning on returning the boots but your quick reply has definitely made me reconsider. I'll try calling customer service as a last resort. Thank you for the quick reply and reassuring my decision of buying a pair of Red Wing Shoes (875E) for the reputable service was the right one.
I love the video. Just not sure why people would send in old shoes to get all that work done instead of just buying new ones. How much does it cost to rebuild them vs new?
I could watch craftsmen working with their hands all day. Super awesome, and I'm glad you guys stick behind your products like this. I know what brand my next pair of boots is going to be!
In my country when your shoes get busted for whatever reason, whatever brand - guarantee service is a JOKE. Unbelievable that there are still people like you, even if so far away.
@nuby3000 We worked with a Minneapolis-based advertising company named Brew Creative and a very talented cameraman. The same crew produced and shot all of the videos in our series.
Wow, i really like the idea, but who repairs shoes these days, less than 1% of the citizens? but sadly we are living in a throw away economy. thanks to US job killing cheap labor from countries like China and cheaply/strategically made products. I think we are on a fast decline and are digging a grave for ourselves. America will rise again once we to go back to a full production country and less of a consuming nation. I miss the days we valued things a lot more and wasted far less.
A phenomenal piece about true Americana and the spirit that drives U.S. labor.
As the last independent American manufacturer of commercial warewashing equipment, we can relate. We've been in business for over 100 years and continue to strive to exceed our customers' expectations.
That's why we proudly wear Red Wing work boots in our factory.
I hope you'll consider watching our corporate video and join us in celebrating American manufacturing.
I live in yuma, az. I know there's a red wing store here. But all I think they do is re-soul. And not whatever else I want done to them.
