These are not defective products, but are due to product characteristics. It is also a handmade and made in America product.

Thank you for your understanding. REDWING (Red Wing) Iron Range (Iron Range Boots) Iron Range is an iron ore production area located in northern Minnesota. In the first half of the 20th century, many mines were developed here, and at one time boasted the largest amount of mining in the United States. Workers working in these locations are always in great danger. Today, this job would require safety shoes with steel toes, but in the early 20th century, when steel toes were not yet available, capped toes, which had two layers of leather in the toe area, were used instead. Another layer of leather is sewn over the toe of regular work boots to strengthen the toe. This capped toe design was widely used in work boots in the early 20th century. The oldest catalog kept by Red Wing is from 1910, and of the 37 types of work boots that appear there, 33 have this capped toe design. Red Wing's Iron Range boots follow the design of the traditional capped toe work boots worn by mining workers of the time.
