Red Wing developed and patented the ‘Super Sole’ method in the 1970’s as there was a big drive in the U.S to change the manufacturing process for work boots. Most work boot manufacturers in the US where transitioning to the cement manufacturing (bonding and attaching the sole to the shoe body). Red Wing created the‘Super Sole’ manufacturing method to produce a highly durable boot. The Super Soles are used since then in a variety of Red Wing work boots.

What is a“Super Sole” Urethane Sole Technology: Later called the SuperSole, this new technology joins blown urethane directly to the shoe. Offering superior durability, improved foot cushioning and flexibility, and added oil resistance, SuperSole soon becomes the industry-leading work boot platform.Super SoleSingle density urethane sole designed to provide durability and comfort. It delivers performance factors of traction, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, and oil and chemical resistance.
