If your work boots have ever felt cramped across the ball of your foot, Red Wing has a stat that explains why. The Minnesota bootmaker engineered its new IronFlex boot line using fit data from more than three million worker foot scans collected through the company’s in-store scanning system. After analyzing all that info, the company came up with a roomier forefoot and toe box to address how the human foot is actually built.
