I got a used pair of 1000 miles for 40$ online and had a cobbler resole with a vibram mini lug on it for 80. I really like them.

I love Rose Anvil, but we need more people who aren’t just d-riders who take everything Weston says as gospel.

I only buy the 1000 Mile on wedge soles. Makes me feel like I’m not getting shortchanged when they’re on sale.

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots and Red Wing Heritage Boots are different boots. Each brand has it's own merits. Weston Kay downgrades any product which will not pay him. That is how he promotes products which do pay him. 1000 Mile Boots and Alden Indy Boots? Bad. Thursday, Rock Rooster, and Golden Fox? Good! Rose Anvil is not credible.

Wolverines have more interesting leather selections and leather soles on most models, and are better looking-but the redwings are great as well. The 1K Miles don’t get reviewed as well on youtube but It hasn’t been my experience that there is one that one is much better than the other- just slight differences. I like this review as I feels it’s most fair and accurate-AMEN!

The redwing for me. I just prefer the leather insole. I think redwing is slightly better in their leather quality.

What leather midsole are you taking about?? That's the outsole that's leather with a pathetic fibreboard lasting board. Plus the redwing uppers are full grain compared to cxl which is technically corrected grain !! This was an extremely opinionated argument you make ,on the basis of your personal aesthetic preferences. Also the clicking of the cxl on Wolverine boots isn't great , you could end up with a ton of loose grain. Oh yeah, that " novice / layman's" argument was the icing on the cake. Jeez man😂😂

I have both wolverine 1000 mile and redwing IR. For me, I really do like the work boot look of the IR but when I want to dress it up a little bit, the wolverine 1000 mile boot is the one I go to. Also, as much as I like the IR, I find the 1000 mile boot fits me better. Great video, keep them coming!

What model redwing are you looking at? That does not seem to have a bump toe which is why I routinely chose Wolverine 1000 mile over red wing because Wolverine has less the spring.

Oooo that audio upgrade.

1000 Mile boots with the leather sole, all day every day!

it's a 270 degree welt and supposed to be like that.

As of late-November 2024, Wolverine has their 1000 Mile boots on sale for 50% off (essentially $200). I picked up a pair in Havana Brown, though my wife said I have to wait until Christmas to open and wear them. 😂😢.

I’d get every boot in leather sole but I’ve been trapped by puddles too many times (needing to find an alternate path or go deep into the puddle). I know once in a blue moon won’t damage the sole but i just hate the idea of even soaking them for a second. I’m also in SoCal / desert suburb with city puddles (not from rain usually) I also like to do a short run with fresh leather soles in the parking lot. Scuffs them up real good and fast to get the needed traction.

I’m a boot maker go search for Uncle Dan’s Boots. Let me know what you think.

I have 3 pair of 1000 mile boots, I think they feel great on my feet regardless of the materials. Bought them all on sale. I have 3 pair of Redwings and like them as well but they cost more and for the most part aren’t as comfortable.

I own both, I prefer the last on the 1000 mile boots, they are the more comfortable boot of the two. Regarding cost; I recently scored some 1000 mile boots for 140$ Canadian, brand-new in box. It's my second pair of 1000 mile's, but at that price I couldn't justify NOT buying them.

I do really like my wolverine boots looks.

You hit the nail on the head with 1000 Mile being on sale a lot and I personally would never pay retail. My limit is around $250. They may use leatherboard in the heel stack, heel counter and insole but feel their selection outweighs that. RW Heritage doesn't do it for me with options. I have one pair, IR 8111. If those were to wear out, I'd get another pair of 8111s. However, those IR are my most go to boot.

Hi, I watched a couple of your videos about sizing for both Clarks and Grant Stone. Could I ask you a question? If I understand correctly, your Brannock size is 13D, you wear size 13 in Clarks, and size 12D in Grant Stone Diesel. How would you compare the fit between those two? I've been planning to buy Grant Stone for a while now, but I'm still unsure about the sizing. My Brannock size is 10.5D/11D, my Clarks in size 10US fit perfectly, and I wear Red Wing Iron Rangers in 10.5D. Thanks!

Wolverine uses Horween Chromexcel. Some people like that.

I guess I forgot t' compare the two before I returned the RW because wrong fit for size. Added half sole t' the Wolver t' save the leather, but may throw off proportion e'er so slightly much. They could be a smidge roomier toes, I guess, but overall I like them what little I have worn. I'm sure I'll recall something else momentarily that seems t' slip the mind...

also,, the comparison is often between 1000 Mile and Iron Ranger.. and although the 1000 Mile doesn't have the thick veg insole.., atleast it actually has a leather midsole... the IR doesn't even have a midsole.. i think a leather midsole is a very important component to have.. you can always slip in a leather insole.. but if its made without a mid sole.., you got a whole bigger problem

i can agree.. i think the Thousand Mile still has alot of merit/appeal... and they have such a rich history.. its a heritage boot i'd still like to get.. along with Alden Indy,, if and when I get out of my PNW phase lol they even made some Cordovan Thousand Mile models.. they're just harder to find.. Also, I seen one on ebay that featured a Role Club outsole.. looked great.. but I blinked and it got sold.. Thanks for the content! i think your channel has been a nice addition to the youtube boot community : )

I have a pair of Badalassi Carlo Minerva boots that I've been doming in the Yellow color. Wearing every other day, the color has already transformed from a bright summer squash to a warm, mellow pumpkin with tons of depth. It's a super tough leather, too. The break-in's no joke, but you can't beat it for sturdiness. I literally needed to walk almost a hundred miles in them before any but the tiniest of creases became permanently visible.

One question is the toe box very narrow?

I just ordered these, they get delivered tomorrow. I’m unsure whether I’ll keep them though, I’m not loving that rubber heel. If they don’t blow me away in I’ll probably order some white’s MPs in British Tan instead.

If I wore my boots inside, my wife would say it's either me or the boots would have to go :D

I have no idea what they were thinking with the slanted forward heel stack. I was excited, looked down and busted out laughing. Like who the hell slants the hell stack forward. Theres all sorts of biomechnics reasons logger heel stacks are made a certain way. Not to mention there is no mexican, PNW, or even dress shoe that does this. Thursday needs to fix this...

I hope you also review the thursday thunder boot.

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the in-depth. Keep up the great reviews I really enjoy them.

I really want a pair of boots and thought this was a good choice for me but upon further investigation, a lot of people are saying that these won’t hold up outdoors, which is my main concern.

I personally really like the color, will we get an update video on how the are breaking in/patina?

That’s a whole lotta boot for such a low price

I love both, for different uses. But I also love my saphir cordovan cream, neat foot oil based. I use my cordovan conditioner on veg tan boots, also. My Maryam Black Teacore horsehide takes it well, and my Wickett and Craig bridle tan does as well. And of course all of my cordovan products

Never apologize for the imperial system!

역시 목토는 롤업이지

I 9:59 appreciate your video. I’m considering a pair if their Ranger boots. I just don’t like lace to toe boots and I can’t fathom why people do.

Great video man! I'm really torn about these boots. I have ended up with only 1 pair of boots that I love and have kept and its a pair of Oak Streets but I've been really wanting an Alden Indy as they're just so much more casual and versatile. I feel like I'm wearing old military boots with these Oak Streets. These seem like a great alternative but I'm always stressing about sizing

I think this video is more of an initial impressions than a review

Can't tell if that's a Christy or PU sole but I do like the black rather than white wedge sole. I'm really happy with my White's hybrid wedge.

Great review. I’d also love to see an update review of the Red Wing Beckman. It seems your unboxing video is the only semi-in depth look at that boot that’s in English! 😃

Ever try Farm to Feet merino wool socks?

I like to watch boot reviews on brands I’ve never heard of before. Good choice! 👍

With the many affordable quality boots in the market, it has to be the golden age of footwear.

Yeah, I'm from eastern Europe and when I first saw in movies that people in America where outside shoes inside I was stunned. Where I'm from only police and ER can come in the house in their street shoes, other people will get punched if they don't take off their shoes at the front door.

I totally agree with the no outdoor shoes in the house policy, especially if you live in NYC or SF. Sadly, some visitors don't respect that policy
