The Canvas
This pair of uppers has been hand-selected for the "Build-A-Boot" programme. These are genuine Red Wing heritage uppers, chosen for their structural integrity and unique patina.
The Build-A-Boot Process
When you purchase this "Build," you aren't just buying a used boot. You are commissioning a complete reconstruction. We perform a total rebuild in our workshop:
Strip-Down: We remove the old sole, cork, welt and footbeds leaving only the bare leather upper.
Deep Sanitisation: A multi-stage, steam clean and medical-grade sanitisation of the interior and exterior.
"Zero-Mile" Interior: We install a brand-new leather footbed and new gemming. This means the boot will break in and mold to your feet.
How to Configure Your Build
Use the dropdown menus above to choose your custom foundation:
Select Your Welt Style:
- Flat Welt: Clean, classic, and low-profile.
Storm Welt: A wider, decorative rib that offers extra moisture protection.
Split Reverse Welt: A rugged, heavy-duty aesthetic with a visible upward-facing rib.
Select Your Welt & Stitch Colour: Keep it original for a "factory" look or go for a bold contrast.
Step 1 Add to Basket: Once you've made your choices, add this build to your basket.
Step 2 Pick Your Sole: [CRITICAL] To complete the order, you must now head to our Resole packages page and choose the sole you want fitted to this build (Step 2 button)
