How did I sleep on these classics?
Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Oro LegacyBy free_the_fades • October 13, 2024"The leather is still very close to the first day but starts to crease, stretch and got much softer. When I come home I brush them off and put some shoe trees in them but not every day. The break in is very managable and besides a little pressure on my right pinky and that the double leather midsole still needs some time to conform to my feet they are already a great all day wear boot...."Read the full review
After 6 months of wear the leather is very soft and supple. Wore them for almost every occasion!
Red Wing Blacksmith in S.B. Foot Black PrairieBy Bruised_and_faded • April 1, 2025"Very comfortable right out the box, brushed twice daily, cleaned with damp cloth. Conditioned with Bick4 every 2 months. Had to clean them with saddle soap after my hike in the swampy area. Conditioned with Bick4 as well..."Read the full review

Red Wing Beckman Flatbox in S.B. Foot Black KlondikeBy SerdnaandreS • April 1, 2025"Break in was stiff at first but definitely easier than my cxl boots. The leather has held up and with it being pigmented then that's made it's pretty damn easy to clean up and wipe down. Some teacore is coming in but I never expected these to show it's core easily. 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
With 2 weeks of wear these are getting really comfortable. The insole are already molded to my feet

Red Wing moc toe as they should have been (imo)
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
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. Seemed hotter than Iron Rangers and Aldens with thicker leather and leather lining..."Read the full review
Solid boots
Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Black PrairieBy kyoung711 • September 30, 2024"I really like this leather. Has a cool tea core effect on the scratches and wear points. My care routine has been mostly a soft plastic brush and red wings liquid boot soap with light coats of obenauf’s heavy duty lp. Not the most breathable combo..."Read the full review
Most important tool for a construction worker
Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Copper Rough and ToughBy brusa • November 7, 2024"Break in was tough. Very supple after. Patinas beautifully. Treated with bick 4 every 3 months or so due to harsh work environments. Switched to smiths about 8 months in..."Read the full review
