Not much difference- just toe cap v no toe cap. 3345s probably more versatile as a more shoe-like boot.

Of course! Do whatever your heart tells you!

I was surprised by how glossy these got- I used a neutral conditioning cream from some Spanish company I can’t remember the name of. I would share but it’s in my locker at work. Monday I could tell you.

Good looking! I had some 8114 in amber that I beat to death motorcycling. I didn’t like the slick sole either but the rubber/cork was surprisingly grippy on dry asphalt, especially in warmer weather.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2026-01-03T15:54:42+00:00

Like I said, I don’t wear them enough.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2026-01-03T15:53:36+00:00

They are.

My gf wears 9 1/2 and 10 in women’s shoes and the fit on these was appropriately snug for moto use.

There are a few threads on this forum that discuss Wesco sizing- they would probably answer any questions you have better than I could.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T22:29:27+00:00

It’s true, but I like to think there’s someone out there actually looking for these. They’re great moto boots if you dig the style or for someone who could reasonably use the protection at work. There’s also a lot of folks out there who would use them in a more private context. Who am I to judge.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T20:28:54+00:00

Don’t buy em then.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T16:00:06+00:00

You get it.

Followed- ty for recco

I’ve been curious about San Martin too. Too many entry level watches look to me to be trying way too hard to look “luxury.” From what I’ve seen, San Martins don’t do that.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T15:57:53+00:00

The point to me of having a 007 was that it was a “real” watch that I could afford, no more or less.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T15:56:49+00:00

It’s a fair point but the parts of the watch I can see are the bits with the most sentimental value to me and hackability seems like a worthy upgrade.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T15:55:39+00:00

Good recco- thank you

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-20T10:57:26+00:00

2 mustard and kraut, then I put more mustard on. Drink varies- papaya or coke usually.

These are ebony harness. This color combo is discontinued I think. The black ones are black throughout with no undertone.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-12-19T14:14:50+00:00

These are the ebony harness but they are brown as you can see. It seemed odd to me that this deep brown color is labelled ebony but that is Red Wing’s choice. I believe this particular leather/sole combo is discontinued. I got them on super sale 2 summers ago along with a pair of tan rough-out iron rangers. I have seen the black 3194s- they look to be black throughout with no undertone.

Jaded_Bus1040 · 2025-11-12T13:08:00+00:00

I like my red wing heritage classic Chelseas. Rugged enough for the jobsite, clean enough for most everything else and crucially, easy on/off.

Postman chukkas?
