You’ll often see it at our stores on Brook Road, in Chester, and in Midlothian: someone comes in, gets fitted for tough work boots, and then heads out ready for their time off. For four generations, we’ve made sure Richmond’s workforce has the best boots for the job, and we’re proud of that.
But after all these years, we know your feet still need support, even when you’re not at work.
A lot of people think of Red Wing just for steel toes and tough soles. While that’s a big part of what we do, we use the same quality and care in our casual shoes. If you like how your work boots feel, you shouldn’t have to settle for less when you’re off the clock.
The Same DNA, a Different Silhouette
When we talk about our casual line, like the Weekender Collection and our classic Heritage styles, we mean shoes made with the same no-shortcuts approach as our work boots.
- S.B. Foot Tannery Leather: Our casual shoes use the same strong, American-tanned leather as our work boots—not the thin, throwaway kind you find in department stores. They’re made to age well and look better the more you wear them around Richmond.
- Purpose-Built Comfort: A shoe can look good enough for dinner in Midlothian and still be strong. Our casual shoes are made to give you steady, comfortable support whether you’re out for the evening or on the job.
- Stitchdown & Welted Construction: Many of our casual shoes can be resoled. While fast fashion is everywhere, we believe your shoes should last for years, not just a few months.
Why Fit Still Matters (Even for a Saturday)
We often see people spend a lot of time getting the right fit for their work boots, but then pick up casual shoes that are just “good enough” somewhere else.
Even for our lighter shoes, we suggest coming in for a full fitting. Our 3D foot scanner helps us find a casual pair that matches your arch and pressure points. Whether you’re walking around the Fan or visiting a brewery in Scott’s Addition, your feet deserve the same support as they get at work.
The Gardner Family Standard
When you buy casual Red Wings from us, you get the same great service we’re known for. Bring your shoes in once a month for a free professional cleaning and conditioning. We’ve been Richmond’s footwear experts for four generations, and we want every pair with our name to stay in top shape.
