🇺🇸 Made-in-USA Claim Check

Are Red Wing Boots Made in the USA?

Red Wing makes a Made-in-USA claim and runs its own tannery in Minnesota. It doesn't say which styles come from which plant.

The short answer

Many are, but check the style. Red Wing's own “Made in USA” page says all of its leather comes from its own tannery, S.B. Foot Tanning Company, in Red Wing, Minnesota, and it also names US facilities in Potosi, Missouri and Clarksville, Arkansas.

The page doesn't say which lines are built at which plant, and it doesn't restate each collection by name, so confirm the specific style before you buy.

What that covers, and what it doesn't

Before you buy

How to check the exact item

Look for the country-of-origin line on the product page and the label on the item itself. The FTC's standard for an unqualified “Made in USA” claim is “all or virtually all” of the product made here; phrases like “assembled in USA” or “with U.S. and global components” mean something narrower. If the listing doesn't say, ask the brand. Read the FTC's standard →
