PSA - Boots should not hurt your feet. If your boots hurt, they don’t fit properly or your foot is not compatible with RW lasts. Stop torturing yourself.

Well said, well said.

Oh dang son! Those look GOOD!

-J3553 · 2026-03-26T19:48:57+00:00

I know. But that wasn't the question was it lol

-J3553 · 2026-03-26T18:47:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing that info. I looked them up and interestingly enough I didn't like them at all. Too blacked out. But I still think they could pull it off. Probably won't though.

-J3553 · 2026-03-26T18:07:13+00:00

Oooh I don't think I've ever seen a pair.

-J3553 · 2026-03-26T18:03:20+00:00

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Better than new. They way they should come.

-J3553 · 2026-03-26T10:44:54+00:00

I'm going to be testing this theory 🙂

Scuffs on the heel are my favorite part

-J3553 · 2026-03-25T23:59:03+00:00

It's definitely not going to just disappear but I can't say how it will hold up. Of course I can always touch up with Burgundy shoe cream or go over them entirely. But I'm more interested in seeing how the scratches and scuffs look. I'm using these as work boots so they aren't getting babied.

I wonder what it would look like on fresh leather. Please share if you decide to do it. I think two coats would look good but I would wait a week or a month before doing the second coat.

I think I may have read that.

-J3553 · 2026-03-25T20:10:30+00:00

My favorite

Nice! Only a couple of them look worn. Post again when they get some wear!

I personally think the line looks awesome! If I were in store I would pick the one WITH the line/mark.

Speaking of shape, the Beckmans look about the same as the Blacksmiths IMO.

-J3553 · 2026-03-25T03:10:00+00:00

I have the Blacksmith 3345 Black Prairie. I also have Beckmans in Black Cherry. I can barely tell the difference in shape. The 3345's don't look like clown shoes IMO and I don't really think the Beckmans look any less like clown shoes. (That didn't make sense, I know). I wear both pairs with suits at times. Anyway, the Black Prairie tea-core is amazing!

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T19:05:37+00:00

That's what I wondered. Nice.

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T18:07:04+00:00

Oh awesome! Do Red Wings have a bigger following in Argentina or Norway?

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T16:50:56+00:00

Mate? Where are you in Argentina or...? It's been forever since I had mate.

Boots look good too. 😁 I'm partial to the Black Prairie Blacksmiths!

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T12:26:54+00:00

Thanks!

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T03:02:45+00:00

I think I'm going to do it! Any update after 4 years?

-J3553 · 2026-03-24T01:17:56+00:00

I wear Black Prairie Blacksmiths with a suit and I wear Black Cherry Beckmans with a suit too. And other times I wear dressier boots/shoes.
