US-Made 2906 Lineman Boots

Hold onto your hat, darlin’—these boots are the real McCoy.

Feast your eyes on the Red Wing 2906 Lineman Boots, a true-blue slice of American boot history. Born to grip poles, scale heights, and stare danger in the eye, these beauties were made for linemen—those unsung heroes stringin’ up power lines back when coffee was a nickel and grit was a given.

This pair’s sittin’ pretty in great condition, with just the faintest signs of use. Just enough to say, “Yeah, I’ve been places,” without spillin’ all the secrets.

What Makes ’Em Special?

The 2906 is a bit of a unicorn in the Red Wing lineup—rare, rugged, and real-deal collectable. Made in the USA and built like a brick house, it’s got that distinctive 8-inch lace-up height for ankle support and style, thick oil-tanned leather that only gets better with age, and a Vibram sole that’ll outwalk the devil himself.

While these were originally built for utility poles and work belts, today they’re just as likely to be seen struttin’ down city streets or holdin’ their own at a motorcycle meetup. This model’s hard to find and highly sought-after by Red Wing fanatics and vintage hounds alike. You don’t see ’em every day, sugar.

Fit

• Size EU40
• Designed for durability, but with time, they mold to your foot like grandma’s cornbread to a cast-iron skillet. 

Did You Know?

The Lineman boot design dates all the way back to the early 20th century. Red Wing made these to keep utility workers steady on high wires in all weather. They had to be dependable, tough, and easy to lace with gloves on. Some folks say the 2906 is the last of that classic breed—and we ain’t here to argue.

If you’ve been waitin’ for a sign to snag a pair of rare, hard-workin’, soul-packed American boots—this is it. The 2906s don’t come knockin’ often. And when they’re gone, they’re gone faster than sweet tea at a summer picnic.
