Why We Like The Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boot
Red Wing Heritage constructs luxury that lasts, and their Beckman Boot is here to testify. The leather uppers mold to our feet, the waxed laces lock in our fit, and the Goodyear Leather Welt construction invites us to resole again and again, while all three fight off inclement weather to keep our feet dry and our look sharp on our commutes. And as we stroll from the street to the slick floors of the office lobby, the outsole's crushed cord material prevents slips from slowing us down.

Yeah, the hooks mess up the tongue, whatever.
Cons: some of the stitching isn’t perfect. They probably should’ve come with kilties to protect the tongue. I would’ve preferred the tongue be gusseted all of the way up. I seriously love these and may buy a set in Black Cherry if I get a crazy bonus at work. Chelsea Weekenders were my first leather shoe/boot things. They were pretty great in most ways. In 10-1/2 they fit great. Two years later I saw that old article showing some Flatbox Beckmans and saw these come up and thought they were the same thing… bought two pair of these- 10 & 10-1/2, expecting to sell one. Not the Flatbox, but still very nice looking. The 10-1/2’s are great with reeeeally thick wool socks and the 10’s are great with normal wool socks but took way longer to break in. Now at ten months of once every 2-3 days usage, these RW Beckmans come off my feet after a 14 hour work shift walking & jogging around a large facility and still just smell like a leather store. I hang my socks up and in the morning they just smell like the dang leather. I’m absolutely never going back to non-full leather boots for, among other reasons, the smells. There is a little heel cushion in these, I am worried about it either picking up a stink or just disintegrating, but so far so good. I’ve been getting my money out of them and even wear them out bike touring on 90°-in-the-shade days over hot blacktop, mountain biking local singletrack, and commute riding in town… a little moist, but not swampy, and it just smells like leather. When I crash & slide, it takes about three weeks of wearing & weekly brushing before the scrape is nearly invisible and back to better looking than almost anyone else’s shoes in the office. This leather is just great. The tongue was scraped up in one day of wearing. I expected to have holes in it within a few months. It hasn’t happened. Life might be easier with holes rather than hooks, but these work fine. Greener pastures… I sometimes wish I’d gotten some Nick’s or White’s, but those were double the price and these Red Wings absolutely kick butt. I was wanting to get another pair of Chelsea Weekenders now that my old ones are pretty thoroughly thrashed, but either the leatherboard midsole or the cloth toe liner seemed to make them little stinktraps within 3 months. The only way I’m buying them again is if I feel like budgeting to have some cobbler do a pretty deep rebuild on them. I really wish RW would do an 8” version of this boot with a black Weekender outsole and no shank. I’d probably buy five pair. Likewise with just doing the Weekender line in full leather… I did want the Oxfords when I saw they came out and have been sorta wanting some Chukkas, but the actual sour smell stuck in the Chelseas has me thinking they’re not worth it, which sucks because that CR&T leather is takes so much abuse and the outsole is super comfy. I really hope the mysterious autumn release is some 8-10” high full leather, thick leather like these things that sorta passes for office & date night attire and has the minimal-drop weekender outsole. A full-leather Roper Soft Toe Weekender with 270° double-stitchdown would be amazing.

Beautiful Boot
These boots are absolutely beautiful and extremely comfortable under foot. I love the Cigar Excalibur leather and consistently find myself glancing down at them in the sun light. The boot feels really well made, but relatively light weight compared to the Iron Ranger, and they have firmly become a regular go-to. Yes. The eyelets suck and gouge up the tongue which is unfortunate. However this is not visible when the boot is tied, so I can make my peace with what seems to be aesthetic marring. I understand the complaints here but its like calling a whole vehicle trash because of a faulty tail light.

Poor Quality Control
As the previous comments said, the issues is either with the speed hooks or the leather itself. Consider a different pair.

Great Boot - Quality Issues
Finally bought by first pair of Heritage boots after years of wearing Red Wing work boots. They are a beautiful boot for the office and everyday wear. On day one of wearing and the breakin does not seem worrisome. But I am a bit disappointed in the quality of the boot or should i say 1 of the boots. The right boot is a bit darker (which i dont mind) and it also has much more creasing than the left (again not a big deal just worth noting). The big issue that worries me in the scratching from the speed hooks. The right tongue already scratched and worn where these hooks are hitting. While the left boot looks fine and looks like normal markings. This tells me it has to be a quality control issue and not the boot design. Disappointing for a boot with a price tag like this.

Beckman excalibur cigar
I just bought this redwing and been using it for just 1 hour walk and all the tongue where the speed hook located scuff and peel. Really disappointed with the speed hook. But this new beckman fit is amazing and the leather is softer. Hope redwing can address the speed hook and solve the issue.

Black Cherry - Day 1 - Oh No!
My second pair of Redwings. Just bought these today on 24Jan25, the same issue all to e other 1 star reviews are having with the tongue and rivets happened to mine. I’ve worn them a total of maybe 4 hours and sad panda. I wish there was some type of boot polish they had to help hid it a little. Not sure what can be done, but I am sad. These are amazing and feel amazing. Hopefully Redwing will help me!

New Beckman, same amazing quality
Last fall I returned from a trip to Red Wing, not empty handed, but now the owner of this new Beckman in cigar leather. I add these to my earlier Black Cherry Beckman boots. There is a slight change in the last featuring a slimmer toe design. I always use a Red Wing insole to keep my feet happy and these new Beckman boots have enough room for feet, insole, socks. I expect “many happy steps” over many years with these classy shoes.

My first Red Wings
I found the black cherry color in a local store to me. Tried on several RWs, including Blacksmiths, Roughneck, and Iron Rangers. I liked the look of all of them, but the leather midsole in these was immediately more comfortable. I'm coming from a more basic goodyear-welted boot and I really appreciated the higher level of craftsmanship and the natural materials in the RWs, especially the veg tan insole. Is it perfect? No, but I wouldn't expect that from a mostly handmade boot. After wearing for 8 hours at work the first day (I work in a dealership, so I do a lot of walking) I'm very impressed. Definitely some soreness around the ankles, which I expected due to the leather being a little stiff yet. But the grip was good even on smooth concrete and I'm excited to fully break these in. Got lots of compliments on the black cherry leather as well due to its depth of color.

Still wearing my Beckman’s from 9 Years Ago
I understand this is a reissue of the Beckman with some minor changes-most notably the speed hooks-but I have the originals from the mid-2010’s. They’re a fantastic boot. I had the lug sole removed after purchase and I’ve had them resoled in thicker JR soles ever since. The leather seems to be of good quality, the hardware hasn’t failed in almost a decade, and I always get compliments on the color. I have wide hobbit feet so the larger toe box is great! I see a lot of feedback related to the rear of the speed hooks scratching the tongue-an issue I admittedly don’t have-but if that’s the only issue, I still say money well spent. For those with the tongue scratching I recommend using some needle nose or small hammer to gently flatten the edges of the rear gromet. That worked with a a few pairs of boots I had in the service. Also-it’s the tongue. Hit it with some pigmented cream, move out, and draw fire.

Beware Beckman Speed Hook, Cigar and Black Cherry
I recently purchased the Beckman in all 3 colors. The previous reviews are accurate: the speed hook rivets are not properly installed. The attached photo shows the Cigar after one day of indoor use. Be prepared to either take them to a cobbler or buy the tool to set them properly. You'll need some boot polish, too, to cover up the damage. The black ones do not appear to have this issue. Other than that, the toe box is sleeker than the prior version of the Beckman so be prepared for less wiggle room for your toes. I do expect them to loosen up with wear. The mini Vibram lugs have been replaced with an octopus suction cup design, it seems to be okay but I think there will be less traction for Winter weather.
