Are Red Wing Stores Local Businesses?

While Red Wing is a globally recognized brand with over 500 store locations across North America, the majority of Red Wing stores are independently owned and operated by local business owners. That means:

• You're supporting your local economy
• You're working with people who live in your community
• You're getting service from a team that understands your regional work environment and safety needs

It's the best of both worlds: big-brand quality with small-business care.

Red Wing store owners and associates take the time to know you—your work, your needs, and your preferences. Whether you're a contractor, mechanic, lineman, or weekend warrior, you'll get personalized recommendations and expert fittings every time you visit.

Local Red Wing stores often serve specific industries and jobsite needs in their area. That means they stock the right boots, safety features, and accessories for your community—whether you're in oil & gas country, farming regions, construction zones, manufacturing, or urban worksites.

Many Red Wing store owners are active in their local communities, supporting youth programs, schools, local events, and charitable causes. When you shop local, you are investing in your own community and supporting your neighbors, as they support you in return.

Every Red Wing store offers the Ultimate Fit Experience®, a personalized in-store fitting process using:

• 3D foot scanning technology
• One-on-one service from Certified Fit Specialists
• Job-specific boot recommendations for comfort and compliance
• Access to Red Wing's full line of work and heritage boots, accessories, and care products

It's this local expertise paired with premium products that keeps customers coming back—generation after generation.

Red Wing’s unique business model allows independent store owners to operate their locations while being fully supported by the Red Wing brand. That means:

• Access to premium materials, including leather from S.B. Foot Tanning Company
• Ongoing product innovation and safety technology updates
• Consistent customer service training and support
• Nationwide warranty and boot care programs

So wherever you go, Red Wing stores deliver consistent quality, with a local touch.
