Animal Traffic’s sister shoe store, The Annex-Boots & Shoes, will host the launch of Red Wing Heritage's first ever women’s collection. The full line consists of a 9 style/24 piece collection and was crafted in the USA with leather from Red Wing’s own S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota, and will be carried at both The Annex and Animal Traffic’s downtown location. The launch of the women's collection was, "inspired by the demand from female consumers who have been sizing-down and buying boots from the Red Wing Heritage men’s collection and a desire to go further back into the company’s archive and bring back the women’s collection in a modern new way."
The Annex, 4018 N Mississippi, Saturday October 1, 12-8 pm
