Lone Wolf Boots (Sugar Cane)

[Seth]

While researching the St. Louis Missouri connection to Lone Wolf boots, I discovered Thorogood's, Made in the US, lace to toe Roofer boots.

Looks very similar to Lone Wolf carpenter model but at 1/3 the price (or even less if you get black not brown):

^two totally different boots right there imo…also if you like the look of the LW, why search for something else?

[Chris]

As I recall, Injun Jack has a pair of the Thorogood Roofers in the two tone brown and likes them a lot.  I know other forum members have had good experiences with other Thorogood models.  So if you like the look of those, you should feel confident about buying a pair.

Brown ones all day long… Or LTT Jobmasters ;P

Now that I look around a bit more, I like the smooth finish of the Wireman model:

Doesn't look like there's any US retailer where I could try them on. (I don't have great luck buying shoes online.)

You should be able to pick up Lone Wolf boots at Hinoya in Ueno, Tokyo.

^Yeah there's about 3-4 dealers in Ueno, that would be (and is) my first stop for sure. Junky Special in Shinjuku also hold a good range from memory

[harley dave]

i think the hotel is the best western shinjuku astina ,i would say its about 5 mins or less from junky special

HD, we should probably start chatting in the japan city guide instead of mucking up SugarCane. For now briefly, I'll say if you've got time, a trip to the 'mothership' is worth doing. Iron Heart Hajiochi is an experience.

[harley dave]

ok buddy i will take myself off to the city guide section

1st day out in a pair of boots since the foot surgery.
There's still some swelling, so right foot can't get in on my other boots yet__ 'restricted to lace-to-toe for another month, I'm guessing.

LoneWolf.  "Wireman"
