![]() ![]() I'm not trudging through deep water so the small holes shouldn't matter, with wear you can't really see the glue marks, and stitching can be fixed. I've not had any black men's boots, so I don't know if the same holds true for the men's version.Īll in all I really enjoy the 3365. The black boundary leather was noticeably thinner than the amber. They had glue and stitching issues as well. Our boots and shoes are made for modern men and women with over a century of archival inspiration stitched into each pair. I had purchased a pair of 3366 in my true size originally, but they were just too small. Red Wing Heritage creates lifestyle footwear and leather goods with an enduring commitment to American craftsmanship. I purchased these in October 2017, and some stitching has come loose already. There are also glue marks on the toe cap, and multiple spots inside the boots. For example, the stitching doesn't overlap where the tongue, eyelets, and vamp meet, leaving small holes. My biggest complaint, is that Red Wing doesn't seem to pay as much attention to small details on the women's verison. These boots and shoes are made for modern men and women with over a century of archival inspiration stitched into each pair. The women's version is also very narrow, and in my experience run a half size small.

The thickness of the leather actually seems very compareable to me. They were looking pretty rough so I purchased a pair of 3365, the women's version of Amber Harness Iron Rangers, to replace them. I have an older pair of men's 8111 in a 6.5, which Red Wing no longer makes. So while that sounded okay, I've also read plenty of anecdotal reports that the quality and finish of the women's range is sub-par.Īny opinions I can solicit? Would she better off getting a small pair from the men's range? I've done a bit of reading around, and it looks like most of the materials and construction are the same (or equivalent) and the main changes are sizing, the factory they're produced in, and some of the production techniques (eg relative weights and thicknesses of materials). Obviously, she wants the same quality and spec that I have, not some dumbed down fashion version. ![]() Turned out she'd heard an interview on the radio not too long ago about the launch of the new(ish) RW Women's line, and was a bit concerned that they were saying they'd been 're-engineered' for women. My wife would love a good pair of boots that are waterproof, and will actually last a couple of years (regular, reasonably cheap 'fashion' boots tend to top out at 12 months) and so I obviously suggested Red Wings. ![]()
