I have no doubt these will last as long as my 8111's, and they really do look more proportional when on. 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. It’s resistance towards oil and other chemicals. The Red Wing Leather upper and single-density, direct-molded urethane sole enhance the durability in various jobs environment such as in oil & gas, construction, manufacturing and the rail road. They had glue and stitching issues as well. The Red Wing 6-inch women’s Supersole Boot is a all-rounder built for tough working environment. I had purchased a pair of 3366 in my true size originally, but they were just too small. I purchased these in October 2017, and some stitching has come loose already. The sole is a Goodyear Welt which adds strength.
Red wing boots for women full#
The beautiful full grain leather wraps around the UltraDry waterproof membrane that keeps you dry in wet conditions. This boot is specifically designed to fit a womans foot. There are also glue marks on the toe cap, and multiple spots inside the boots. The Wingshooter waterproof leather hunting boot has dominated the field since 1950. 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. The women's version is also very narrow, and in my experience run a half size small. I'm not a huge fan of the texon, but it does still conform well to the foot.
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.
