I would E-mail/Call Sierra directly and ask them to inspect them personally before shipping such a long distance! ( ??, Awesome Olympics!) I'm not certain they will do this, but when I had to make an exchange, their customer service was awesome!



The defects in Red Wing seconds vary widely; I've had one pair where I couldn't find the defect, to another pair (the Beckmans above) where I had to exchange them because of a structural defect (see my account/previous review for pics!) The exchange pair they sent had some minor pock scars on the toe of the leather on one boot, they faded away almost completely after a couple weeks, I actually kinda liked them, added character.



(included pics are of the replacement pair they sent! ??!)



I love my Beckmans, I never thought I'd be a 'boot' guy. Now I have two pairs, (Red Wing Lineman 2nds are flawless to my eye. Maybe slightly loose grain, just slightly?)
