What does moc toe mean?
This style was inspired by the design of moccasin shoes historically worn by Native American peoples, and moc toe simply means “moccasin toe.” The seam can be created either by stitching together two pieces of material around the toe box or by creating a seam within a single piece in the same shape.
What’s the difference between Red Wing 875 and 1907?
The most noticeable difference is in the leather. The 1907 is made with Copper Rough and Tough, which is an oiled rough out leather and requires very little care because it’s naturally so packed with oils and waxes. It’s a darker color than the 875, which is made with S.B. Foot Tanning Company’s Oro Legacy leather.
