I need a brown service boot. It’s either these Beckman’s or Parkhurst stitchdown (618 last). The Beckman’s have such a classic look. One thing I don’t love about them is how there’s a cut into the leather soles to accommodate the Gro-Cord soles. The more leather the better IMO. Parkhurst looks almost Viberg quality, Welted Ware seems to think so, and they might accomodate my EE width better. But the looks of the Beckman’s? So great!

[@jovienarciseph]

I don’t have any problems with my OG Beckmans with the same outsole without the Gro-Cord. They are sturdy and still good. Anyway, you can try the Grant Stone and I have one pair and they are really good and classic-looking also.

[@nateeaton1]

@@jovienarciseph How comfortable are the Beckman’s compared to Grant Stone?

[@JRRob3wn]

The 618 is firmly in the dress boot category due to its pointed toe. This boot would be more comparable to the 602M.

How was osaka ,I'm lookin forward to get there .great boots !!

[@jovienarciseph]

It was hot and humid when I was there but after a week the heat had become milder and cooler. Osaka is nice and more relaxing to go to places than Tokyo.

[@jovienarciseph]

More relaxing to commute as compared to Tokyo. It was hot and humid when I was there but after a week, the temperature went lower and colder. You will enjoy there.

[@jovienarciseph]

@@jovienarciseph I’m Dutch, 26 years old but I don’t have Instagram, TikTok, Facebook etc. I only have KZbin where I watch things on. I deleted them all a few years back, because I wanted less distraction in life and minimise my time wasting with scrolling and such. 😅

[@vmmob5900]

Hi, if I’m 11 in moc toes, should I get 11 in the Beckmans? Thank you!

[@jovienarciseph]

Yes! But that is me with a regular width feet. Where do you live?

[@frankytanky5076]

Size? True to size?

[@jovienarciseph]

8.5 D. Yes, it is true to size but it is better if you can fit it in a store. Thanks!

[@violetakato7752]

wow-big deal, only the upper class japanese buy that much-for us the filipinos living here in japan that pair of shoes is expensive but of course the quality is great !!

[@jovienarciseph]

Hahaha! This will be my last purchase for the year. And my advance Christmas gift to myself. No more boots in the years to come. Thanks for the comment, Ate Violeta!
