Redwing Roughneck Heritage 6-inch in Briar Oil Slick Leather Boots. Style 8143 which were exclusive to J. Crew. A gorgeous pair of badass boots that have some wear but still tons of life in them. A rugged moc with Vibram’s original lug outsoles for aggressive, all-season traction. True to its name, the Roughneck stands up to heavy wear and lasts for years. The Roughneck was born from a boot first made for oil rig workers in the mid-20th century. Rig workers, nicknamed "Roughnecks," were known for their notoriously dangerous work. In addition, the boot is built with long-lasting Puritan triple-stitch construction and a Goodyear welt, making it fully resoleable for years of reliable wear. Size 9.5.
