Red Wing Charlottesville was proud to join the Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center (CATEC) in ringing in the graduation of another class of hard working technical students. We were there to support the next generation of workers with a $175 Red Wing Charlottesville gift card, and handed out 22 of them to these well-deserved graduated.

The weather’s warming up, the days are longer, and there’s a nice breeze on the air. That can only mean one thing – spring has sprung, and hiking season is here! 

Luckily for us, Richmond and Charlottesville boast some of the nicest hiking spots in the state. However – before you rush out and hop on to some of Virginia’s hiking trails, do the wise thing and thoroughly inspect your equipment. Even the shortest and easiest hikes can be ruined by a sprained ankle, busted shoe, incorrectly sized boot or a boot that’s too light or heavy. Here are some of the most common issues with hiking footwear during hiking season!

Common Footwear Issues During Hiking Season
Your Hiking Boots or Shoes are Worn Out

If you’re a hardcore hiker – or hardcore hoarder, you are way more likely to suffer from this boot problem than others. Hiking boots are expendable items – they Continue reading →

The last few years have been eventful, to say the least. With changes in the economy, shipping backups, labor shortages,  and everything that comes with them, the importance of keeping the tools you have in good shape is higher than ever. That’s not always necessarily a bad thing – in fact, we think it’s a great opportunity to learn how far a little bit of TLC goes.  In our case, we want to teach you how to take care of your Red Wing boots via our Tough Love Event!

Red Wing Hunting Boots in Charlottesville

Hunting season will be here soon… and now is the best time to take a thorough inventory of all of your gear! There’s nothing worse than being on the hunt with shoddy or broken equipment. After all… you wouldn’t take a rusty rifle out to the blind, would you? We hope not! You’d either restore that ol’ boom stick back to its former glory, or buy a new one. The same goes for your footwear! If what you’re strapping onto your feet before you go on the hunt is no longer quite up to snuff, it’s time to replace them with some Red Wing hunting boots!

Our Red Wing Hunting Boots

At Red Wing Charlottesville, we’ve got a huge selection of purpose-built hunting boots that keep your feet warm, dry, and secure as you stalk your prey. If you’re a fall hunter, we’ve got boots that are lighter Continue reading →

Man… it’s hot as heck out there. It’s the summer, and it’s been a scorcher! We’ve had days where the heat index exceeded 100, and that’s not just a hot day… that’s the type of day when your phone starts blowing up with warnings from the national weather service to stay inside if you can. Well, some of us have stuff to do whether it’s 100 degrees or 0. For folks like that, we recommend you pick up a pair of breathable footwear from Red Wing!

Breathable Footwear from Red Wing Charlottesville

We have breathable footwear in almost every one of our brands. Whether we make them breathable with how they’re designed or the type of materials we use to construct them, one thing remains constant: the lack of swamp foot at the end of the day!

Like anytime you buy Red Wings, the key is to talk to us at the store. Continue reading →
