Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

[Fifty150]

From what I can tell, the uppers are just like my other Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots. Same details, down to the heel counter cover. A leather lined, polyurethane footbed insert which is okay. The sole is a sneaker cup sole made by Vibram. The right cobbler will be able to resole this shoe.

Obviously new, old stock. This model has been discontinued since before The Pandemic.

On my feet, they feel fine. Horween Es*** leather is very soft. This shoe does not hurt my feet.

Extremely comfortable right out of the box. No break in. Here they are, in the wild.

Here we are, after a few months of washing dishes at Panda Express. I've gotten my money's worth.

They just get better with every wear.

Another retail holiday deal.

Wolverine does not resole or recraft. JD's Shoe Repair resoles 1000 Mile Boots.

Someone fell asleep behind the wheel of a sander.

​

It was on sale. A good price. I still sent it back.​

At the dishwashing station of Panda Express. Being abused with heat, steam, chemicals, and food waste.

Has anyone actually seen a 1000 Mile Shoe? I would buy if they released another wingtip.

I find myself favoring this pair. I reach for it. I wear it more than my other shoes. I can't explain it. This shoe feels good to my feet. Maybe it's the weird "olive tan" leather. Or the cheap synthetic insole.

Looks just like other mass produced shoes.

I'm always fascinated by these old ads. Be really cool to see an actual surviving vintage pair.

I like that you can get 1000 Mile Boots with 270 degree and 360 degree welts. Iron Rangers are only 270 degree.

I wear 270 degree and 360 degree shoes. My feet can't tell the difference. I wear 1000 Mile Boots and Iron Rangers. My feet can't tell the difference.

360 degree welt. Not noticeable to my feet when wearing them. Some people will say that the wider heel base of the welt offers more stability. I can't tell.
