Limited Edition Indian Motorcycle® Boots By Red Wing Shoes®

IMCBootsIndian Motorcycle® has partnered with Red Wing Shoes® to create the new limited-edition “Red Wing Shoes® Collection” of fine, handcrafted American motorcycle boots. Indian Motorcycle, founded in 1901, and Red Wing Shoes®, founded in 1905, share a rich heritage of authenticity, fine handcrafted quality, and products that embody the legendary American spirit. Today both brands also share the great state of Minnesota, with only 80 miles separating their corporate headquarters. The 2016 Limited-Edition Red Wing Shoes® Collection for Indian Motorcycle will be available July 2016):

“You could say that both Indian Motorcycle and Red Wing Shoes are in the transportation business, as we’ve been transporting men, women, soldiers and workers all over this great nation for over 100 years,” said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. “Fine American craftsmanship is a rare thing in today’s world, but it’s in the DNA of both these companies and that’s why I know Indian Motorcycle riders and fans will take great pride in owning a pair of these boots.”

Spirit Lake (Men’s Brown Lace-Up Boots)
In homage to the dedicated men and women in Spirit Lake, Iowa, who build each and every Indian Motorcycle with a passion for quality and true American craftsmanship, this boot is modeled after Red Wing Shoes’ popular Iron Ranger.

    A little rich for my blood but can appreciate a quality made motorcycle boot without a brand name plastered all over like it was a pair of Nikes.

    Before those boots go out the door… make SURE that the arch-strap has enough holes in it, to compensate for leather stretch, or you’ll end-up having your heel lift-up, the strap buckled into it’s last remaining hole, and the nap worn-off your new $12. socks.
    All “engineer boot” manufacturers have the same problem, they don’t realize how important that strap is in keeping your heel from lifting. Just saying. There should be one strap hole directly over the middle of your arch, or you’ll be leaving those boots in your closet. If your heel can lift, you’re done-in. ;p

    That said, a shoe repairman can make the extra strap-holes for you. It’s an art, don’t try it yourself.
    These boots have 1-1/4 – 1-1/2 street heels which is great. An equal harness leather engineer boot is made by Chippewa, but it has a 2″ heel which are John Wayne, and not practical for walking-in. Chippewa made that exact boot in an 1-1/4″ heel, but only for the biker cable-series – beater boots that were last seen featured as a contest prize on this site. They were the modern engineer boots, but are not available for sale? for reasons I’ll never understand.

    Not a bad $$ if made in the US. I’d like to see some heel cups and ankle protection.

    Kudos to Indian for parnering with a company that still makes (some) stuff here.

    Great looking boots. I only buy USA made boots.

    Red Wings were never a Pricey Shoe or Boot. But, become a Sponsor or have another Companies name and the price doubles. Just, stating a fact.

    @bigalyts

    Those prices are basically inline with their current prices. The boots in the middle are essentially the iron rangers which go for $300. They have been $300+ for years.
