RED WING, Minn., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Wing Shoes, a global leader in purpose-built safety footwear, today announces the launch of three new work boot lines —Draftsmith, Polar X and VersaPro—each engineered to meet the needs of today's trade workforce. These new products are a testament to Red Wing's dedication to innovation, quality and the protection of tradespeople across all industries, from renewable energy and heavy manufacturing to office-to-jobsite environments and extreme cold-weather job sites. The three work boot product launches round out a robust, innovative year for Red Wing Work Boots following the introduction of Red Wing's SuperSole X work boot this summer and TruGuard Lite earlier this spring.

"The introduction of Draftsmith, Polar X and VersaPro allows us to provide ongoing solutions that cater to a wide spectrum of industry needs while ensuring the same level of safety, comfort and craftsmanship that Red Wing is known for," said Mike VanGoethem, chief services officer at Red Wing Shoes.
