THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE
In the beginning of the United States, the garageman shoes are work shoes worn by boys who repaired their beloved vehicle with the passion. They were known as garage man, the ‘auto-mechanics’. Car repairing was usually done inside and often have to lie down on carriage called creeper then sliding their body under a vehicle with solely leg power to maneuver under vehicles. As such, low cut service shoes like Garageman shoes that are built on Red Wing Work Oxfords features, are lighter and do not hold around ankle, were their preferred footwear over boots.

MATERIALS
Full finished leathers have a smooth, polished surface that enhances the natural beauty of the leather.
SMOOTH-FINISHED LEATHER
Smooth-finished leathers have a polished surface that enhances the true beauty and quality of the leather. Only the most premium, top-quality hides are used to craft smooth-finished leathers. The result is a beautiful, classic-looking leather used to build more elegant styles, such as the Red Wing Heritage Beckman Collection. The polished look and feel of the smooth-finished leather requires more specialized care and attention to keep it maintained.
