Something I just noticed- you can now buy boots directly from their website, with free shipping.
They're all full priced of course. I wonder if we're gonna start seeing coupons/promotions
I am a 9.5D on a brannock device, and wear a 9D in the beckman and usually take a 9 in the wolverine. You could go with a 8.5 probably, but I find the 1000 mile boots look a little dainty for some reason, and prefer the 9 to the 8.5. They have a rep for making your feet look kind of tiny...Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if someone with experience with both of these shoes could lend some insight on this matter. I am a size 9 in Red Wing Beckman boots, and I want to know my size for Wolverine 1Ks to order online. Can anyone give me a comparison or conversion on fit? Thank you!!
Yes, the general consensus, as you have already discovered, is to size down a half on most Red Wings, including the beckman and IR. They are both great boots and you will enjoy them!are the Beckmans true to size?
If you want a dressy black boot that won't kill you financially (e.g Alden's), then the Beckman is a fine way to go. The featherstone leather can also take polish, unlike most other offerings by RW. They are very versatile boots that can be dressed up or down. That said, for the same price as a Beckman you could probably score a relatively new or barely used (or factory second) offering by Tricker's of England, on EBAY, which would be substantially nicer, but that's probably adding more complexity than is necessary here. Regardless, good luck with your decision.I wanted a dressy boot in black, so last week I had my RW store order the black beckmans and the black brogue rangers in my size..
Went and tried them both on today and I cant decide, they both look awesome
Def cant afford both so Im in debate mode

Ive never heard of Nick's boots until now.Choosing not to condition the leather is just plain stupid...
Haven't really decided what I'm going to do yet. I've thought about getting them resoled with a Vibram 2021 but I'm unsure how durable it is. The Red Wing sole on the 3140s has a layer of really durable rubber which has made them last a pretty long time considering the amount of foot miles I put into them at work. Also thinking of getting some Nicks boots made and keeping the Red Wings as a backup.

Youre kinda blowin my mind..
I just picked up a pair of Red Wing Heritage Chukkas, size 11
I'm generally a 11.5 in most modern Nikes, and a 11 in dress shoes and Timberlands.
When I have the boot on my foot they feel great, length is good, etc...
But getting the boot on seems to be difficult. They are tight across the bridge of my foot just under the tongue. Do these boots loosen up over time? Should I go up to a larger / wider size? I feel like larger would be too long, but I'm open to buying them in a wide.
