About the Item

c. 1960s-1970s; Red Wing Shoe Co. - Red Wing, MN Oversized chalkware boot trade display modeled after Red Wing's "Hi‑Peaks" outdoor boot, complete with molded laces, brass‑tone eyelets, lug sole, and green‑and‑orange mountain badge. Made for storefront windows and counter tops, this three‑dimensional point‑of‑sale piece exaggerates every stitch and seam of the real boot to stop traffic. The chocolate‑brown painted surface shows scattered scuffs and small edge nicks typical of chalkware; the crisp logo patch and welt line read clearly from across the room. Founded in 1905 by Charles H. Beckman, Red Wing Shoe Company built its reputation on durable American work and outdoor boots, supplying the military in both World Wars and creating enduring icons like the "moccasin toe" feature of a distinctive U-shaped seam around the toe box. It should be noted that the boot doesn't sit perfectly flush on flat surfaces and wobbles roughly half an inch in either lateral direction.
