Style No. 3146The Red Wing Work Chukka combines a traditional desert boot
upper with the legendary prairie-inspired Traction Tred white
crepe sole. The sole was designed so it would not pick up
debris in fields and barns; and it was perfect for upland
hunting , a favorite activity of farmers in the American
Great Plains. The white sole served another practical purpose
as well - it allowed a farmer's wife to see if his boots
were clean when he entered the house!
