The 8061 Merchant is based on one of our classic work boots from the 1920s, style 245, designed without a toe-box to give a slimmer look and a lower toe profile than similar round toes designs such as the Blacksmith.
The merchant also features a specially designed Chemi Gum sole, historically used on Red Wing works boots since the early 1960s. This sole has a lower cork content than the Nitrile Cork used in the Iron Ranger collection, which makes for a more flexible, comfortable yet still durable outsole.
