The Red Wing Heritage Collection is popular among those who appreciate the finer things in life. You’ll only need one look at these boots to understand why. Heritage boots pay homage to an era of craftsmanship; a time when your name and the name of your company meant the same thing to you. Where the same guy built your boots, sold them to you, and cared for them. Our next look at the Red Wing Heritage collection features an all-time favorite: the Red Wing 9016 – the Beckman Round!
9016, known as the Red Wing Beckman Round, is a round toed 6 inch boot. It is expertly cobbled from Red Wing’s exclusive and famous Cigar Featherstone leather around a No. 8. last. Like all the boots that Red Wing makes, there is a breaking in period. The Beckman Rounds may feel a bit snug at first, but as you wear them in, our highest-quality leather will mold around your foot, creating one of the most rugged and comfortable boot wearing experiences you’ll ever have. Our exclusive leather, specifically tanned for Red Wing by S.B. Foot Tannery, screams elegance with a classic and polished look. This isn’t a boot you’d dirty up on the job site. However, it is the one you’d wear out to dinner with your significant other later on that night.
The Red Wing Beckman Round was one of C.E. Beckman’s answers for the chronically muddy streets found throughout Minnesota. After realizing that he couldn’t find a pair of good work boots anywhere, he decided to take action. Seizing the opportunity, Beckman opened his own cobbling shop and created the highest quality footwear you could find in the state… and rest assured, people found it! The reputation of the unmatched quality of his work boots spread like wildfire. The 9016s became renowned throughout the country for their beauty and durability, and Beckman’s Round-toed boots became known simply as the “Beckman Round.”
Today, our Heritage Collection’s Beckman Rounds embody the quality, craftsmanship, and artisanal tradition of Beckman’s very first pair of round-toed work boots. They are one of our most popular and fastest selling boots of all time.
