Red Wing Shoe Company’s history of supporting the communities where our manufacturing
facilities, retail stores, distribution centers, and corporate offices are found goes way back.
When Charles Beckman founded the company in 1905, he was a frequent volunteer and board member in the city of Red Wing. Today, our values still guide our behavior and we make it a priority for everyone in our organization to stay actively involved in our communities and to help improve
the quality of life for all.
Our Communities
—
We believe that to be truly successful as a company, we need to not only support the communities where we live and work but lift them up. Which is why we support over 300 community partners every year around the globe through donations of time, products, and finances.
Our Foundation
—
The Red Wing Shoe Foundation was founded in 1955 and is focused on charitable giving that furthers education, promotes the arts and sciences, enhances our natural environment, and promotes opportunities for experiencing the outdoors.

Our Footwear For Those In Need
—
We are often counted on for a pair of footwear for a charity auction or to provide homeless families with shoes, but our product donations also support communities in times of crisis like hurricanes or wildfires. We partner with Good360 to make sure that our donations arrive at the right places, at the right times, and through all stages of a disaster.
