Top Red Wing Shoes for Men

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Having been manufactured for just over 100 years, Red Wing shoes are as popular now as they've ever been. A particular favorite among men who need rugged, durable shoes and work boots, Red Wing shoes are built to last, and offer superior comfort for people who spend a lot of time on their feet.

And since they're available in narrow through extra-wide widths, a good fit should be easy to find among my top picks below.

1. Red Wing Shoes - "Gables" Slip-Ons

Red Wing Shoes "Afton"
Casual and comfortable, these slip-on shoes are the perfect non-skeaker touch for jeans. The double goring makes them easy to get on and off, and allows for a more custom fit. My favorite version is dark brown, and the tan is awesome too. There's also a black version, although I feel it's a little less dynamic than the others.

2. "Classic Lifestyle" Red Wing Shoes

As the name states, the Red Wing "Classic Lifestyle is just that: classic. This rugged boot is water repellant with a leather upper and lining. It doesn't get any more manly than this.

3. "Afton" - Trendy Casual Red Wing Shoes

With Euro-style detailing and a great lace-up design, I'm crazy about these shoes. They're casual enough to wear with jeans, but still show that you're interested in looking good. Also a fantastic match with cords or khakis, these shoes come in brown, or black with tan accents.

4. "Bemidji" - Rugged Red Wing Boots

These lace-up moc-toe boots should hit right at the ankle, which makes them great for the guy who wants a bit of added protection, but doesn't like taller boots. With comfortable leather linings, and full-grain leather uppers, the black version is basic but cool, and the brown version rocks. Either worn with jeans will make for a rugged but stylish look.

5. Red Wing Shoes "Alley" - Artistically Sporty

Here's another casual shoe that's brimming with style, but this time the notable feature is perforated leather uppers. Dressy enough to be worn with khakis, these shoes are definitely still casual enough for jeans. You can't go wrong with the brown or the black version of these sporty shoes.
