Red Wing Shoes are well known as tough, down in the trenches work tools, so when we got our hands on the Red Wing Heritage 9022 Beckman Boot it was quite a surprise.
Handmade in Red Wing, Minnesota, the Heritage line is American manufacturing at its finest. The stitching is beautiful. The leather is supple and smells wonderful. They are stiff under foot and will take a little time to break in just like old school boots from days of yore. The term Heritage seems just right. —Sean McCoy
