Red Wing’s latest launch, the Rio Flex Boot, is where rugged durability meets modern Western style. Designed for hardworking men in construction, farming, oil, and gas, this premium pull-on boot looks more than just good—it’s engineered for serious performance. Featuring an extra-wide round toe, the Rio Flex gives your feet breathing room, while the Dynamic Fit System makes slipping them on and off a breeze and keeps your foot locked in place once you’re moving.


Comfort is king, and the stretch panels ensure flexibility and movement throughout even the longest workday. Whether you’re trudging through wet job sites or high-heat environments, the Rio Flex boot stands up to the challenge. A waterproof lining system with a triple-layer defense keeps your feet dry, while the HRO-rated Barnstormer rubber outsole delivers best-in-class slip, oil, abrasion, and heat resistance. It’s tested to withstand temperatures up to 475º Fahrenheit.

Style hasn’t taken a back seat, either. Subtle 10-row stitching and a sleek profile give this work boot the feel of a modern Western classic—functional, yes, but with just enough flair. Add in steel toe protection, electrical hazard resistance, and Red Wing’s signature craftsmanship; you’ve got a boot that works as hard as you do.
Available now for $270, Red Wing’s Rio Flex Boot is a no-nonsense solution for guys who need job-site-ready gear that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or style.
