FAQs
What is the primary difference between this model and the classic 875?
The 3380 model is designed to be sleeker and lighter, featuring a slightly thinner sole for increased flexibility while retaining the robust leather uppers and Goodyear welt construction of traditional Red Wing boots.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary depending on individual foot shape and wear frequency, but often lasts between 20-50 hours of wear. Wearing them regularly for short periods is often recommended.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welt construction, these boots are designed to be resoled, significantly extending their lifespan.
What type of socks are best for these boots?
Medium-weight wool or synthetic blend socks are generally recommended for comfort and moisture-wicking. Thicker socks can be beneficial during the break-in period.
Are these boots waterproof?
The Charcoal Rough & Tough leather offers some water resistance, but the boots are not fully waterproof. For significant exposure to wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for nubuck leather.
Where are these boots made?
These Red Wing boots are proudly Made in the USA.
What is the purpose of the Nickel Eyelets?
The nickel eyelets are durable and resistant to corrosion, providing a strong point for lacing and ensuring longevity of the boot's eyelet system.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during break-in
Wear the boots for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thicker socks can also help stretch the leather. Consider using cedar shoe trees to help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner following the product instructions. Allow the conditioner to absorb fully before wearing.
Traction Tred sole feels slippery on very smooth surfaces
This is normal for polyurethane soles. Ensure the sole is clean from debris. For additional grip on specific surfaces, consider specialized sole treatments if available, but this may affect the boot's aesthetic.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace with new 48-inch Taslan or similar durable laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stressing the eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. They are designed for immediate use, though a break-in period may be necessary for the leather to fully conform to your foot.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: These are UK men's sizes. It is recommended to try them on for fit, as sizing can vary between brands.
- Laces: The boots come with 48-inch Black Taslan laces. Other lace styles or colors can be used as a replacement.
- Insole: The leather insole provides basic cushioning. Orthotic insoles can be added if extra support is required, but ensure they do not compromise the fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for rough-out leather every 3-6 months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple. Use sparingly to avoid altering the leather's natural texture.
- Protection: While the leather is robust, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for nubuck or rough-out leather if you expect exposure to excessive moisture.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
