@Dirty:

Got these in the mail today and WOW

Shit!  I was hoping you would hate them and pass them along my way!  I guess I'll just have to lay back in the cut and chill until another deal comes along!  Keep me in mind when you're doing recon on eBay!

Just copped these.

I know they've got a reputation of quality issues, but, damn I like the way these look.

Good stuff, Joe!  I've got the brown version and I love them!

Hey all, just wanted to let you guys know that I manage a store in Atlanta that carries the 1000 Mile line from Wolverine. I just found out today that we are marking our Bradford Oxfords down from $325 to $220. I am pretty positive we have a full size run so if you are at all interested, email me at champxatlanta@gmail.com.

WOLVERINE BRADFORD OXFORD
$220.

Nice boot Joe, mine are the exact same.  1 year in and they are holding together noticeably better than Aldens worth twice as much and half their age. I love my 1000's.

[Giles]

I gifted them to Alex, who wears black more than me….PM him....

[Finn666]

Anybody have any fit info on these?

See a pair on ebay that are pretty cheap that I could use for work.

Have Thorogood's that are a 10EE, but probably closer to a E.  Think a 10D or 10.5D would fit?

I would suggest size 10 in the 1k's if you want a similar fit to the Thorogood boots.  My 1k's fit like an E width and are 1 full size less than my measured size (11 1/2 vs. 12 1/2 measured), but I wear them with thin socks.  But you could always add an insole if you got 10 1/2 and they feel big.  I would much rather have that problem vs. having a tight fitting shoe!

Thanks!  Will store that info for future use.  Took a pass on the ebay ones I was looking at before, seller wouldn't come down at all and thought they were still a little too high.

You can find original 1000 mile laces now through www.therightlace.com. Just chose the boot that looks like yours and you will receive the OEM lace in a couple of days by post!

Picked up a pair of shell 744's. They run .5 size large like the rest of the 1000 Mile boots. Here are the boot pr0n pics:

Really like those

[Snowy]

^Agree, really nice

[Moonshine]

744 is good stuff!  And as an added bonus, they're MY SIZE!  (Just so bl@ster knows where to send them if he decides they don't suit him!)

My 1000 Mile Krause boots are back from the cobbler (mmm, cobbler). Here are some piccies:

Looking good, they look almost new but broken in, perfect.  Just when I thought I was starting to get enough boots, bl@ster has shown me my supply is dangerously low!
