Red Wing shoes are and integral part of Red Wing, Minnesota. The company was founded in 1905 by Mr. Charles Beckman. He owned a main street shop and with hours of hard work soon came to understand the importance of a good pair of work shoes. His creation soon spread, leading to his wealth and prosperity. Today, the Red Wing shoe company continues to flourish but retains a few characteristics that set it apart from other corporations. It is still privately owned with 3rd and 4th generation family members still very much in control of the company's operations. Their corporate headquarters still remains in Red Wing, literally across the street from Charles Beckman's original store. Today, Red Wing shoes are sold all over the world but still remain an essential part of Red Wing Shopping.
