      So these came back from the boot maker today, a bit earlier than expected. As per my previous post (above) I just wasn't getting along with the half rubber fore-sole on the rough out 1K boots.

      I had an additional rubber protective sole applied over the existing rubber to beef it up a bit… but I still wasn't happy. Then I went looking for and managed to source a range of different sole options including a cats paw-like "Dr. Sole Original" composite rubber sole, but they were super heavy. In the end I decided I have so many heavy duty boots, and with summer coming, I'd go for a lighter option... so the Vibram.

      I'm pretty happy with how these turned out... kind of the way that should be, I think.  😉

      Cheers,

                Picked up a pair of the new Wolverine "McClean" boots – basically the 1000 Mile but with a cap-toe. Here are pics:

                          Got some new Wolverine 1000 Mile Addison boots today!  Glad to have another pair and looking forward to getting some wear on these!  I was initially worried the 2-tone would be “too much” but so far so good!

                            Here are some 1km's that I've probably worn 1000+ times. Ok ok, maybe like 650 times.

                                  I'm very close to pulling the trigger on some 1000 Miles, but I cannot decide on the color.

                                  I'm borderline between the black and the rust/cordovan (or wine, I don't know what the actual color is called). I cannot seem to find good pictures of black anywhere, and I found some of the cordovan.

                                  The cordovan is really lovely but I'm a bit unsure how much of my wardrobe I can match it with; need to see it with more indigo, dark blues and grays. The black will probably match some of my black or charcoal pieces well but for some weird reason (probably due to the lack of pictures) looks a bit worse than cordovan (and brown).

                                  If anyone has solid pictures of the black, that would be great.

                                  Thanks

                                    Was going to pull the trigger on these also but the negative feedback around the heel has me concerned. As a UK resident I don't want the hassle of trying to send them back to the supplier to get issues resolved.

                                    Has anyone got any more thoughts on these? What's the cheapest price you can find for some 1k (original) in the UK?

                                      Where are you based?

                                      They have them in american classics in London if you want to try them on so that you can order them more cheaply online.

                                      The Wolverines can suffer from bad quality issues.

                                      I bought mine from American Classics. They gave me the wrong size. Found this out when i got back to the office when i took them out to have another look at them. Also noticed that the leather on both boots was clearly defective (something you should not expected after spending £300). Took them straight back and the arsehole in the shop wasnt going to exchange them as 'i had worn them'. This was forty minutes after i had bought them. Fortunately the lady who served me walked in and swapped them over.

                                      Once they exchanged them i was initially pleased with the replacement pair. They were pretty comfortable straight out of the box. However,I have nioticed that as time has passed, they are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. I wore them last week did about two hours walking throughout the day (nothing strenuous) and for some reason came away with hideous blisters.

                                      Personally, now,  i would not pay full price for them and would instead buy a pair of IH Foot Patrols (or the Jarrow Marcher from Aero Leather, but cant comment on their quality).

                                        ive had mine for about 2 years and I love them, but I haven't put them through much stress, just the odd days out.

                                        I think i ordered the 10 and 11 from dandy fellow cos at the time they were offering free del and returns, then i went ahead and got them from ebay from a guy in Canada, i was gutted to be hit by customs as he wouldn't mark the value down but still ended up £80 cheaper than over here

                                          I'm very satisfied with my 1000 Milers (type Addison / tan) … the only demerit are the slippery leather soles.
                                          Their comfyness is comparable with the most of my RW's (Iron Rangers and Beckman GT's)

                                          But! .... my Wesco Foot Patrols or the Vibergs playing in another League.  🙂

                                            Can anyone help me and comment on sizing with Wolverine. I've got an eye on a pair of Duvall that are on sale online. I've never tried a pair so have no idea. I've tried on enough Red Wings to know I'm a 44 (ca. UK10), while in addidas (I'm a 3 stripe geek) I'm 45-46 (UK10,5-11). I now own and love the IH/Viberg Smoke jumpers in a UK10. They fit perfectly.

                                            I guess what I'm asking is, size up/down/stay the same, as Red Wings or Vibergs?
