How to Clean Red Wing Heritage Roughneck Lace-Up Boots

Facts: Red Wings are the king of work boots.

Since 1905, the Red Wing has been making high-quality work boots to improve the quality of people’s lives when working labor-intensive jobs.

The Red Wing Heritage Roughneck Lace-Up Boots are top-of-the-line work boots, made of briar oil-slick leather. They are built for all-day comfort and stand up to heavy wear for years to come. 

So whether working in construction or an engineer putting up a radio site, these boots are ready to get the job done.

The Roughneck boots are built tough to honor the labor of mid-twentieth century oil rig workers, notoriously nicknamed, “roughnecks.” In tribute to their hard work, these boots are built to last through the toughest of jobs.

However, they are prone to get dirty, causing the leather to lose its luster. That’s why we recommend cleaning your Red Wing Heritage Roughneck Lace Up Boots with the Shoe MGK Leather Care Kit.

Below, we have a step-by-step guide for cleaning and maintaining your Red Wing boots.

Tough jobs require tough boots, 

And the Red Wing Lace Up boots are the toughest there are. Built to withstand years of on-the-job wear and tear, it’s only natural these boots will get dirty. Mud will get caked on the leather, dirt can get stuck in the soles, and they will look a mess (meaning you will look a mess).

With the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner, you will have your boots looking like new with ease, so you can get back to the real work.

With a dry brush, brush off any excess dirt and debris from the leather. Then, dip the brush into a bowl of water and cleaner and scrub the boots until it lathers up with bubbles. Wipe off with a clean towel, and your boots are ready to get to work!

So, you have your boots looking nice and clean. , After years of wearing the boots, the leather gets dried out, getting cracked, making them less efficient overall.

This also makes the shoes look much older than they actually are.

With the shoe MGK Leather Cream, you can rehydrate your leather uppers, heal cracking, and give your boots a nice shine without buffing. All you do is dip the sponge into the leather cream and massage into your leather uppers of the boots. 

Within moments, your shoes will look as if they just came out of the box for the first time.
