According to Red Wing "The 8-inch Classic Moc stands tall as one of the most iconic boots in the Red Wing Heritage line. Born from the archives, this rugged lifestyle boot is built with the same materials, process and quality as the 1952 original. Oro Legacy leather uses a unique proprietary blend of oils exclusive to Red Wing, allowing the full-grain texture to remain on display without any added pigment."These shoes were worn for about a year and have broken in. There is patina developing on the leather, but they are in very good shape and have a lifetime of wear ahead of them.
