[Very popular model] BECKMAN FLATBOX and Blacksmith Explanation!

2024.06.07
Hello!
This is Kobayashi of RED WING SHOE STORE Ikebukuro Parco.

This time, I often ask questions at the store,
STYLE NO.9060 BECKMAN FLATBOX
STYLE NO.3345 BLACKSMITH
Let me tell you about the difference between these two legs.


I think it's difficult to understand the difference because the silhouette, color, and shape are similar, but there are four main differences.
(The first photo is Brach's Miss, the left is Beckman Flat Box)

Difference 1 [With or without a pre-core]
The Beckman Flat Box does not contain parts that maintain the shape of the toe called "first core".
It is a model that adopts details commonly seen in American boots from the beginning to the first half of the 20th century.
When you wear it, the toe sinks and the shape changes.

Brach's mistake has a front core.

Difference Part 2 [Leather]
The Beckman Flat Box is used for black Klondike leather called "tea core" which has a thick coating film on the surface of the leather.
The leather with a thick coating film is hard.

Brach's Miss is a leather with the same tea core as the Beckman Flat Box, but it uses black prairie leather with a thin coating film.
The leather with a thin coating film is soft.

Difference 3 [Sole]
The sole used in the Beckman flat box does not contain a mid sole (medium board), so it has good bendability.
The soles used for Brach's mistake also provide grip strength even on slippery road surfaces.

Difference 4 [Hook]
The Beckman flat box has a small brown hook, so you can enjoy a classic atmosphere.
Brach's Miss is made of brass-colored hooks, giving it a rugged atmosphere.

(5th photo)
Aging of the Beckman flat box worn by staff for about 2 years.
I think you can see that the black coating film is shaved, the tea core is visible, and the shape of the toes is changing.



Both models have a simple design, so they can be incorporated into various styles.
Beckman Flat Box is also recommended for those who like classic fashion styles from their details!
I think it depends on the job type and workplace, but some people wear it at work according to the suit if you take shiny care with a clean silhouette.
Brach's Miss is also recommended for those who like the rugged biker style and work style!

Both are very popular, so there is a time to sell out depending on the size, but
At present (June 5, 2024), please try it because stock is available and you can compare shoes.


If you are far away, you can also purchase cash on delivery mail order from Ikebukuro store or online store, so please use it.
