While it's hard to make a pair of Red Wing shoes even more enticing and elevated, the design and repair studio Goods & Services has managed to do just that. On the verge of a new season, the pair has pulled out all the stops to upgrade one of Red Wing’s once-forgotten silhouettes. Released in the 1950s, the Postman was Red Wing’s stylish response for professionals looking for sophisticated comfort. Although this style was ultimately retired from the brand’s lineup, Red Wing’s partnership with Goods & Services has brought back this design with modern updates, making it an even more classy dress shoe option. Styled as an Oxford, the shoe dons a unique new look that signals a substantial departure from its original form.
