Named after Charles Beckman, who founded Red Wing in 1905, the "Beckman Boots" are a modern recreation of the original round-toe boots, made with today’s materials.

In the past, boots with a 6-inch height were commonly worn as everyday footwear, protecting feet from dust and mud. These boots often featured a "flat box" design without a toe cap, allowing the leather to mold to the foot for extra comfort. The Beckman "Flatbox" is a reproduction of this 6-inch, toe-cap-less boot, crafted using the same "8-last" as the original Beckman boots. The result is a comfortable, flexible boot that molds to the foot and features unique aging over time.

The "Flatbox" design was common until the early 1960s, with special requests made for boots like the #877 to be built in this style. The Gro-Cord Medallion Sole provides a soft, flexible feel, adding to the overall comfort.

The #9060 Black Klondike leather has a "tea core" inner, where the brown leather base is coated with black. As the boots age, the brown core becomes visible, adding a unique characteristic to the leather.
