I couldn't be any happier -
Casual, comfortable, stylish - is there anything more you need from a boot?

Finally a replacement for my beloved 957's. Simple & tough!
I have been wearing Red Wing 957 boots for over 35 years. The model was discontinued for some reason. I suspect that it just didn't have enough bells & whistles for the target market. Actually, the 957 had absolutely NO bells or whistles. That's one of the main reasons I love them. They are just plain work boots, incredibly tough and a pair usually lasted me around 8-10 years and fit like a glove. I received a pair of Red Wing Gentleman Travelers in Black Cherry. I put them on for the first time this morning at 6 am and it's now noon and they already feel great. They are very close to the 957's in appearance, except that they are 6 in. rather 8 in. boots. I love them and I'm going to buy another couple of pairs just like them before Red Wing realizes that they have produced another model of perfect boots and discontinues them.

Like love: wonderful with a little pain -
I love, love the look and finish of these shoes, but they are a bit painful to break in. The inside seam of the tongue dug into my ankle bone, but it's getting better… but for look, durability, and high quality, it's hard to beat.

Workmanship of quality -
The leather boots, from Red Wing, are exceptional. The workmanship of certainty; elevated to a refined art is evident in these boots. An attitude of sturdy independence and solemn purpose were obviously appreciated by the designer/maker during their creative hour.

BEST BOOTS I'VE EVER OWNED.
I have the black cherry color. The boots are very stiff when you first get them, but while quickly mold to your foot. The most comfortable shoes/boots I've ever had, no sore spots on my feet. The boots also have a very slick, almost kind of a vintage look to them.

Well worth it!
I purchased a pair of these overseas as Zappos didn't have my size/color choice at the time. I've been wearing them all week - they are quite stiff in the beginning - both in the sole and the uppers, but they're wearing in well and molding to my feet. I suggest wearing them off/on until they're broken in. They do run about 1/2 size too big if you have normal/wide feet. You might go down another 1/2 size if you have narrow width feet. For me, I normally wear a size 9 M dress shoe and the 8.5 size works well for me.
The leather is OUTSTANDING! It is Horween leather and is the most amazing shade of deep, rich red. Although I was hesitant to order this color, I am glad I did - the red is not so much the main color, but as an accent to the overall dark color/black. Simply beautiful and adds a nice dimension to the color. The sole is great - not too thick and easily resoleable if needed. I highly, highly recommend these - put up with the break-in and you'll have a great set of lifetime boots.

High quality -
These boots look amazing in black cherry, and keep my feet warm and dry in the snow, also secure on icy sidewalk. Probably the most comfortable lace up boots I have ever owned. They seem a little long in the toe compared to some other brands/styles, but not enough to create problems with walking all day. Pretty spendy for work boots, but very worth it, for what you get.

Great Boots -
These boots are just what I wanted - something that's tough enough to endure the winter elements while still looking very cool. Give it awhile to break in but once they do it's well worth it.
Size down about 1/2 size if you have medium width feet. If your width is narrow then maybe even size down a full size. I have wide feet (EE) so my true size worked out great but they are a tad bit too long.

Red Wing "Beckman Boots"
First pair of Red Wing boots I've owned...and I must say they're exceptional quality and ooze class and retro style!...They look like they could be hand made by some old master cobbler of yester year, and don't resemble the mass produced offerings from the likes of Timberland etc.
If you're going to buy one pair of expensive boots in your lifetime then these Red Wing "gentleman traveler" are a must have!...

Amazing!
Fantastic boots. Very stiff when brand new, after a week or two of painful wear around the ankles, they softened up and molded to become one of my most comfortable shoes. The black cherry leather is an amazing shade. Everything about the GT is topnotch, from construction to leather used. Price is on higher side but completely worth it at full retail. No buyers regret at all. Sizing does run about ½ size large so best to size down ½ from your normal dress shoe size.

Worth every penny.
The biggest drawback to these boots is the price, but these boots are worth it. The construction is top notch, and done in the US. These boots will last literally a lifetime with proper care and an occasional resole. The Horween leather is perhaps the best available for a combination of looks and utility. It will be as durable as any work boot but still look great with a good shine.
Keep in mind if you are considering these that they may not be what you are used to. They do not have a cushioned insole, and they will be very stiff and quite uncomfortable for the first week or so. After that, however, they will mold to fit your feet perfectly and be the most comfortable pair of boots you could own.
These boots do run long, so order at least a half size down from your normal size. A tight fit is best since the leather will stretch a little, especially in width.

 |  | Just wanted to comment on your service - it was excellent! I do a lot of online shopping and have had some less than happy experiences. I have heard many good comments about Zappos.com from friends and coworkers and decided to try it. I am skeptical about ordering shoes online since there is no way to try them on before buying but with your free shipping both ways, there is nothing to lose! Plus, it is a great help to read customer reviews and draw my own conclusions. Your prices are comparable with others but your service is beyond compare. Your website is well organized and user friendly with very good product images. Thank you for a great shopping experience and I will definitely do this again soon. I have already spread the word to my sister about your website.
Sincerely,
