The "GT's" I bought from Ednless were featherstone leather. So one may want to look at the description before they rule one or the other out.

my mistake, the 'normal leather' probably is horween leather, i was going off of what the website was (not) saying.

if your GTs are made with featherstone leather, they may actually be 'Beckmans.' horween must be 'GTs.' they both do look the same, and are priced the same (assuming a website sells both). so if theres any confusion, id assume its on the retailers part.

Ya, I agree. What you said seems correct. I am just saying don't take what the retailer calls them as definative.

I 've read that coupon codes invalidate the Bing cashback.

Looks like the NEWYEAR code has been cancelled, just as I was about to place my order.

i bought a pair of the beckmans in black, $208 before the bing cashback. now i gotta decide between keeping the beckmans or my unworn 1000 mile boots in black sitting in my closet.


Is the 'regular' Beckman still available? I see numerous sites selling it, but many refer to Beckman and GT interchangeably. The GT is model 9011. I think the Beckman is 9010, but that's not on the Red Wing site.

I'd like to get the Beckman's, but I'm concerned that I'll get the GT's sent instead.

I'm confused.

BTW - the reason for wanting the Beckmans is because I think the heel is a bit smaller. I could be incorrect.

Thanks.
