Red Wing 8833 Moc - Abilene Hawthorne

Red Wing's top-selling model appears this season in the Hawthorne Abilene Roughout leather that, according to records in the Red Wing archive, was first introduced in 1959 and last appeared in 1989 under the Irish Setter branding on a Japanese 6-inch moc. The special leather made this limited edition iconic in Japan and is now back on the market for the first time on Style No. 8833.  The summery, light Hawthorne Abilene Roughout quality develops a unique patina over time, which of course also makes the shoe perfect for combining with autumnal looks.

Designed for the Moc Toe boot construction of the 633 model, the No. 23 last was developed back in 1930. Most moc toe boots are based on this tried and tested last.

 

If you do not have the opportunity to have your individual size measured in a Red Wing store, we recommend ordering the shoes in the right size. The shoes come with a flat leather or Texon® insole that covers a custom moldable cork midsole. If you prefer an additional insole, we recommend choosing half a size (US size) more.

 

Red Wing's oil tanned Rough Out leathers are extremely durable qualities and have been used for over 100 years in the manufacture of countless Red Wing boots. They are resistant to water, sweat and stains. The Roughout leathers are produced exclusively for Red Wing Shoes by SB Foot Tannery using a patented process. Roughout leather surfaces are usually achieved by splitting or sanding, which weakens the material. With Red Wing Roughout leather, the natural fiber side is used on the outside without any loss of quality, which gives the leather its full strength and robustness. The surfaces of these thick leathers have a very natural look as they are not treated with finishing products. The Oil Tanned leathers are among the most robust qualities of all and are therefore also widely used in the work boot sector.
