| 62 of 63 people found the following review helpful  Attention buyers: do NOT despair!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Red Wing Heritage Men's 6-Inch Beckman Round Toe Boot (Apparel) I struggled for a long time before I decided to buy these boots. I looked at all the reviews and thought hard about what size to get. as you know, many people say to size down at least half a size for the beckman/gentleman traveler. they say these boots are unlined and without an insole. this is only halfway true! there is no lining on the sides, yes; all that is there is the other side of the leather, no fabric (in fact there is no fabric anywhere on this boot). this is good for those of us in warmer climates. but reviewers are only partly correct when they say there is no insole. in fact, there is a permanent (unremovable) leather insole! many people say (and it was the design of Red Wing that) these boots are to be worn without additional insoles and that your foot should rest on the leather insole. this is the biggest point of controversy over the beckman/gentleman traveler. personally, i wear these boots without additional insoles, and i do so happily. the leather insole will...

They won't wear out in a couple of years like the imported junk does. They are made with heavy leather sewn to a heavy leather sole. The sole has a rubber tread half sole sewn on that can be replaced. The basic construction reminds me of my old Corcoran jump boots from the Army (1969) without the cap toe. Those old boots lasted me through about thirty years and five or six half sole replacements. They don't have a padded insole, just the bottom of the boot lined with a smooth leather. The leather uppers are heavy and stiff and need a lot of breaking in. I rubbed down the insides with mink oil and have logged about fifteen miles of urban hiking in them and they still aren't completely broken in, but that's OK with me. Once these boots soften up and get really broken in I know they will last me longer (probably) than I will need them. I wear a pair of Redwing Number 452 work boots in size 11B for hobby farming on...

I fell in love with these on line and ordered. I've had them 6 months and am largely happy.A few notes: They run long and narrow. I bought a 9.5, which is a bit too long, but even that size was so narrow I had a hard time getting my not-very-wide foot in at first. It is now fine, but only after a month-long, blister-studded break-in and only if I wear really heavy socks to keep my foot from sliding forward and back. (BTW, the best advice anyone can give you is to go to a Red Wing store with the socks you expect to wear and try on different sizes and styles until you feel the clouds part and the good Lord's sun shine down upon you because you've found the boots of your destiny. That'll help you more than reading hundreds of reviews.) Also, the insoles are hard and provide no cushion. They do mold to your feet over time, sort of like... Read more |
