In honor of Labor Day, Red Wing Shoe Co. inducted 10 new honorees into its “Wall of Honor,” a tribute to skilled laborers from across the trades who have worked on some of America’s toughest jobs. The Wall of Honor is an interactive installation located at the flagship Red Wing shoe store in Red Wing, Minnesota. In addition, a virtual experience can be found online where the honorees’ impressive stories are featured. First introduced in 2018, it showcases the epic stories of laborers alongside the well-worn pair of Red Wing boots they wore to stay safe and get the job done right.

“America’s skilled workers are a mainstay on job sites across the country, and our new Wall of Honor inductees are a shining example of the hard work they do every day. On this Labor Day, we couldn’t be prouder of the men and women who build everything around us and keep our communities running,” said Dave Schneider, chief marketing officer at Red Wing Shoe Company who conceived the Wall of Honor. “This is just one way for us to recognize their hard work and we encourage members of the public to take time to thank America’s workers over the holiday weekend.”
