Red Wing Beacon Shoes - Leather Oxfords (For Men)

Great bargan from a shoe company that has a great rep. I've bought their work shoes in the past and enjoyed them.

Red Wings are a quality shoe and I would not expect anything else. This pair is no exception. The style lends itself to wearing with jeans or in a more dress up attire. As usual you it is hard to beat the price offered by [...].

Red Wings denote quality. I would not expect anything else when ordering a pair and these were no exception. Of course, it is hard to beat the price of [...].

Overall I'm very pleased with the shoes, especially the way they look. comfort is a plus too. Price couldn't be better.

I'm not ecstatic about the styling, but that's a subjective judgment, so I didn't list it as a "con" above. I bought these shoes for fit and comfort, and I'm not disappointed. It's tough finding B width shoes; I've had luck with Red Wings in the past so I took a chance on these. Highly recommended.

I love these shoes...taking advice from the previous reviewer I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal(11-1/2B). I have narrow feet...especially my heels so when I get a pair of shoes that fit well I'm delighted. I'm 54 and I have to say that these fit my particular feet as well, or better, than any pair of shoes I've owned.

great shoes, comfortable for every day

RW Beacon has a N width in the inventory. I could not get my foot into these shoes in N (I have a B width foot). An on-line shoe competitor had reviews that customers with N feet should buy the D width, the next size in width. Returned the N for D's and although they are a bit "sloshy", orthodics and a Spenco pad took up the difference. Forefoot area is square and roomy. Not as comfortable as Rockport Northfields, but would stand on it's own in an urban setting. This is a one-use shoe, doesn't look like it's resoleable if that's important to you. Factory lacing is too long for 6 hole shoe (should be 36", they supply 50" laces) - so if you keep these shoes, invest in the proper lacing size or you'll have a tripping hazard.[...] The only caveat with this shoe is proper width-sizing.

I was surprised when I tried the first pair on to actually have a shoe that was too narrow. Going up a half size took care of that problem. Heel and toe protection are effective yet subtle (I have a habit of scuffing toes!)
