6 Months in Beckman Flatbox
Red Wing Beckman Flatbox in S.B. Foot Black KlondikeBy PastaKing • April 6, 2025"After 6 months the patina is just beginning and will be even more interesting in the years to come. The break in process was fairly long and the first month was tough - similar to Iron Ranger. I only brushed these a few times and conditioned 2x with Bick 4. Cleaned off mud a few times with warm water. Super durable boots and the leather lined toe box makes them even tougher than the Iron Ranger IMHO - The brown from the tea core leather is just starting to poke through, but will continue to do so over time.

It's rubbing away and more will definitely follow. No sandpaper needed. To take care of it I used Venetian shoe cream every other month since mop water with floor cleaner is probably not the best for boot cleaning...."Read the full review

Red Wing 9874 in S.B. Foot Black KlondikeBy bankrobber • April 1, 2025"This leather takes a while to start moving (in terms of patina and change), but it shines incredibly well. It’s very tough but will become softer with wear. I brushed them with a horse hair brush, used VSC sometimes, wiped with a wet rag when they were dirty. Another six months and they will look very deep brown/black, I assume...."Read the full review
White whale acquired!
Red Wing Beckman Flatbox in S.B. Foot Black KlondikeBy bootsandblocks • April 5, 2025"The Black Klondike leather is REAL stiff out of the gate. The thick leather underfoot made for a slow break in. They still have a ways to go, if I’m being honest.
The leather has softened up quite a bit and the tea core breaking through at the toe and along the vamp is the whole point and it sure is satisfying...."Read the full review
