I actually bought my 1000 mile boots on sale for around $250. I've noticed they go on sale quite often as well. My advice buy these when they go on sale if you like the looks of them.

[@giraffchen_]

Wolverine and their retailers have some awesome sales. I have two pairs of 1,000 miles, one from a local outdoors store and one from the website. Never paid much more then $300. Also got a pair of the BLVD series cap toe boots for $100 during a similar sale. They're the only heritage boots that I own, so I don't know what I'm missing from Nick's/White's/etc., but these have held up, are comfortable, and are still in good shape after 6 years of regular wear.

This is the video I've been waiting for. Last year I bought the cap toe version of these boots and so far I've been happy with them. After seeing your opinion of them I'm still happy and I figure if there's any issues with the areas you pointed out my local shoe repair guy can probably fix them up.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Great video, very informative as usual. Thanks for the shout out bro I appreciate it.

[@justindcook9]

I've had my 1000 miles for a decade and I love them, but they're not without issue. I probably would have gone a different direction on what boots I bought back then if your channel had existed. You do great work and I for one appreciate you.

[@otm646]

I love these thousand mile boots, if you go with the leather sole it really changes the feel of the boot for the better. They'll definitely wear out faster especially on concrete but man are they comfortable. Shoe trees are an absolute must with this super soft leather. I wonder if the switch to a fiberboard insole is a new thing, I've never had an issue with mine. Mine have been resoled 2 times now. Over three pairs I've never had the sockliner move or become unbonded. I think I paid around 280 for the newest pair in 2017. I'm not sure if that $400 is a new price or just MSRP.

[@bradleythomas5445]

Great review! This is the only way to truly see how a boot is constructed. I sent my brand new 1000 Mile cap toe boots to a cobbler. He installed a new split welt, thick leather midsole, heavy duty steel shank, full length Vibram corded outsole, and a leather heel block topped with a Dr. Sole rubber heel. My plan was to purchase a pair of Nicks Americana’s, but the wait time was going to be 6-8 months. This is my first pair of boots, so I definitely compromised and purchased a boot with a good leather upper, and upgraded from the midsole down. I will be purchasing a pair of Nicks next year. Thank you so much for your honest and informative reviews!

[@eric9432]

I don't understand why I am so hooked to all these videos. I'm super basic and just rock some artists or flip flops and that's about it. Yet I find myself watching this channel ALL the time. Videos are put together great. Keep the videos coming yall

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

I have an old pair of Wolverine shoes I bought in 1990. So, I just pulled them out of the closet to wear today. Thanks for reminding me about them. Odd feature, they have two rows of grommets in separate strips for the laces to go thru...

[@jordansnyder9650]

Great vid as always. While watching started to think of what 1000 miles really is. For people working on their feet can easily walk 2 -3 miles a day. That is 500-750 miles per year. Can expect these to last several years so easily over 1k. Maybe obvious to most but thought was interesting. I have been wearing thorogood 6” max toes for at least 3 years so well over 1k miles for lesser brand.

[@anzepirnat2830]

I walk at least 4 miles a day during the week and I'm a student. So they would last less then 250 college/work days. During the summer I wouldn't wear them, so that would leave me with 3/4 of the year with them. Which equals to 189 days in my country, therefore they would last me 1.32 years at most. I don't think thats much, especially not for the money.

[@grooooovybastard]

1000 miles is barely 7 months for me... I can say even cheap Nike shoes (like air max 1 or pegasus 89) last twice or thrice more than 1000 miles.

[@Volks29]

When I reached out for last year's Moc-tober, my White's were around 500 miles in a 9 month period. Soles were worn flat, but no serious damage to leather. Another year later, and over 1000 miles in since getting them, and on the third set of soles, they still feel and look good

[@jordansnyder9650]

@working_country ___ yes agreed. I guess I meant to say that Thorogood Moc toes are cheaper than Wolverine 1k’s.

[@wojecire]

Work at Walmart picking online orders, I walk 10 miles a day 5 days a week, 2600 miles a year just from work. And I enjoy hiking and backpacking on my days off and vacations. So I would love something that lasts a bit longer than 1000 miles.

[@otterconnor942]

Excellent that your reviews are uncompromised and you say it as it is. That's a rare thing but a wonderful one!

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Thanks for featuring the 1000 Mile, and also for this new mid-tier boot series! For mere mortals like myself, with a boot budget, this is right up my alley. And am so glad I have held off on getting a pair of Wolverines. Initially because they didn't have rubber half-soles and I was always told they were sans a shank (perhaps the older styles?), but now the realization that the overall construction may not be all it's cracked up to be is reason enough. No matter. I recently scored a pair of used Oakstreet Bootmaker boots, so my beloved Beckmans have some great company to hang with. Great video, sir. Mahalos! 🤙🥾

[@jeffreyhiggins3041]

Great video. I have a pair of shell cordovan 1000 mile boots that Wolverine and Allen Edmonds made together. I have always thought that Wolverine knew they couldn't do justice to the shell cordovan and utilized Allen Edmonds manufacturing to produce a superior product than Wolverine was able to produce on their own. I love them, but you cannot cut them in half haha

[@JohnEZang]

They were one of my first GYW boot purchases but bought them lightly used for like 130 bucks. Definitely worth that price but I can only wear them in warmer weather (I have the leather sole version) because they make my feet cold probably due to how little material is between my foot and the ground. Even the leather outsole itself is on the thin side. I will probably upgrade them to JR soles when it's time and throw a leather midsole in there.

[@jivan093]

I'd love to see which boots would be best for motorcycle use! I know it isn't the purpose of most boots, but some recent intros of yours show you starting up a bike. Would love to see your feed back on boots that would work best for wear and tear on motorcycles!

[@matthewf1979]

Panama soled Altama/McRae desert boots are the only boot I have experience with that will make it past 1000 miles with zero maintenance. I keep returning to them because they’re light weight, comfortable and stay cool in the US southwest desert. If you don’t need a steel toe or cold weather insulation, give them a shot.

[@quitefranklyjosh]

They issued those to us in basic training. Hated them so much that I replaced them as soon as I could. Tore my feet up, very hard under foot, not enough ankle support for airborne operations or long ruck marches. But, if you're not doing any of those things and you're in a warm climate, at least they breathe. You do you boo. (Only Combat Boot I ever trusted was the Rockies SV2. Survived a 25 mile ruck march and an entire deployment with ZERO blisters).

[@matthewf1979]

@@quitefranklyjosh I’ve had nothing but good luck with these boots. I’ve had every Redwing in the catalogue and they all get too hot. I’ve done 10 mile jaunts in rail ballast multiple times in 100*+ heat without a problem. I guess that’s why there’s more than one boot.

[@quitefranklyjosh]

@@matthewf1979 Just saying they aren't well suited for their intended purpose. But that's also why "mil-spec" doesn't mean quality. It just means we outfit our force with stuff that meets an "acceptable" standard from the lowest bidder. But if you like them that's all that matters.

[@tkdrob1111975]

Great video. Many struggle deciding on the 1000 miles or red wings. I think the 1000 miles is a little dressier of a boot. Getting half soles will help longevity and increase grip. Soles are thin too. Stinks that they cut corners

[@quitefranklyjosh]

ABSOLUTELY CANT WAIT FOR THE TRUMAN VID! I love my dark natural double shots! Best boots I've ever owned!

[@wheel1775]

It would be really interesting to list the costs of the materials you’d like to change. How much extra would a full leather heel cost? How much extra for a full sock liner? For $400 there has to be a little extra margin in there somewhere. Also, I wonder if these comparisons are off a bit. Wolverine is selling boots that presumably will end up in a retail store. They’re pricing their boots with the normal retail markups. Whereas other brands are basically selling direct. They’re not building boots with a wholesale and retail margin. So, maybe if Wolverine was selling direct without a retail markup, these boots would be selling for $200-$250.

[@kb9oak749]

It may not be a huge savings on one pair of boots, but when you multiply by x number of thousands of pairs of boots it adds up to money the suits can't walk away from.

[@wheel1775]

@@kb9oak749 I get that. But unfortunately that’s how brands die. I want American companies to succeed, but constantly cutting costs is not a recipe for success. Making a superior product costs more but usually means greater longevity for the company. Just look Toyota and Honda. They proved quality matters.

I really like my 1000 mile boots, but do not pay retail for them! You can frequently get them 25% off, or check out the STP. I got my pair for $80 from STP and at that price I think its a no brainer. When the fiberboard insole wears out I will just have a new leather insole put in. I will say that compared to something like the Redwing Beckmans, the redwing does use higher quality materials. Wolverine used a few different leathers in their 1k boots too. The pair I have is an olive tanned leather (Actual olive oil/leaves used in the tanning process) that is really nice.

[@harrisonreed2331]

I have a pair of 1000 milers from 2013 that were made from Horween Cordovan in this rubyish colorway. I think the original price was around $365 at the time but those mf boots are bulletproof. Back then, the boots took 3 months of everyday wear to break in and they've held up beautifully whether in the snow/ice or in the desert. 2 years ago I dyed them black using black shoe dye and now every time I scuff them the original ruby color shines through, which I'm stoked about.

[@exploringcolorado]

Great review on these nice boots. I have three pairs of 1000 Mile boots and the sock liner has never peeled up on me. Maybe not the perfect construction, but has not become a problem on my boots. In terms longevity, one pair I have owned for 5-6 year and have been though a lot travel. A quality cobbler replaced my leather soles about a year ago, but aside from that they still have lots of life left. I've had problems getting other boots resoled, so 1000 Mile boots are worth the price for me.

You’ve got to call this series the “Balance Boots” These are the boots that try to find that balance between high quality and accessible pricing.

[@pewpew9193]

Red Wing dominates that category. Iron Rangers for $349 or 1907s, think they are like $300-$320. You can get out the door with either pair for under $400. Totally different style boots, so you have an option there.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

@@pewpew9193 doesn’t work for me as they all don’t have a narrow width. See I wear a narrow and nobody in the mid tier ever accommodates that. If I want narrow or B width I’ve either got to buy the made in China mason boots or golden fox stuff. Or I’ve got to go to the Thursdays. After that I’ve got to skip the mid tier completely and go for the 500s and up just to accommodate my odd width feet

[@leonardmilcin7798]

I ran 1000 miles in 2 pairs of cheap running shoes. And I discarded both not because they were damaged or worn but because the foam lost its properties. I think you can use well made shoes for way, way longer than 1000 miles. It will largely depend on how well you treat them (ie conditions in which you use them, do you let them to dry up between uses, etc.), how good you are at cleaning and conditioning and how long you are willing to keep restoring them.

[@sisleymichael]

Exactly! My brother is a use, abuse, throw boots in the garbage guy. He has seen my 3 or 4 resoled boots and is in awe. I use RW 8" moc toe boots. My arches are fallen and the wedge soles are all I can tolerate. Also, lace up boots keep my ankles from spraining. I have a pair of Iron Rangers I got many years ago and they are for casual wear, non-work times. Still on the original sole! Still look great. I do clean and condition my leather footwear often. Habits I picked up from my Dad as a kid. Reference running shoes, spot on. Get two good pairs. Same for work boots. Swap pairs each day and let them dry out inside. I have no more arches due to 28yrs of Army service and a LOT of running, often in piss poor boots we had to wear. These days, I mountain bike and walk for cardio.

There's one more thing I think you missed in these review videos, is the last (or the form) of the boots. This thing, I think is pretty important. Agreed that Redwings, White's, Nicks are way better made and superior materials, but they're workwear tier, I mean they're well made but not so well to dress up. For the style of Wolverine boots, you can do light work and dress up as well. You guys should admit that most of things we want to buy just because of their appearance, not all of us, but mostly that's true.

[@pewpew9193]

I wear Red Wing Iron Rangers almost every day. I still like to have a pair of Jordan Luka 1's (my favorite player) to wear to the gym, but Red Wing offers boots that are really versatile. Can wear them in a slightly formal manor, or with a T-shirt. They're also made significantly better & cost $50 less than these $399 Wolverines.

They’re the regular work boot version of the heritage 877. They also make a 6 inch version but I prefer 8 inch boots. It’d be interesting to see a comparison between the 10875 and the 875. There are some subtle differences in construction but they both have the leather insole. Might be good for Moctober. The 10877 were around $350 out the door from the red wing store in Huber Heights, Ohio. So far the 10877 feel better than the heritage style and I love my pair of heritage in prairie black.

I’d be interested in seeing something from Danner’s U.S. made collection. The Quarry has always caught my eye with its stitch down construction.

Let's gooo! The UBS, US Boot Series! Can't wait to see what you'll show this time. That being said, have you ever considered doing another heritage boot series about shoes from other regions of the world ? Being from Europe, I would be especially curious to learn about local heritage brands or small shoes manufacturers. There might be differences in silhouettes or construction choices. Are there be differences between Western and Eastern Europe? Probably not...but probably a difference in terms of bang for your buck. Finally, has the old continent forgotten its old ways and no longer offer long lasting boots?

EEEKKKKK STOKED FOR THIS SERIESS

[@zhaozilong99]

Great video. I was wondering if you might every do a cutting the Danner Mountain series like the Danner Mountain Light and Danner Mountain Pass?

[@anderslind8422]

Just cleaned and conditioned my LL beans, great timing

[@neontigershark]

Can you do a pair of Irish Setter Wingshooter? I know it’s a really popular hunting/work boot. I love all the info we get from you cutting open boots!

[@FreddyJRO]

Appreciate the timing of this upload. I own 2 pairs of wolverine 1k's(one is color 8 and the other is black courtland) and I've found that my courtland one had the insole scrunch up after about a month's use(with 4 other boots in rotation). Really disappointing to experience. Got so pissed that I ripped both insoles out even though only one of them was scrunched up. Been procrastinating the last week with tossin them to the cobbler, because I'm unsure if just to ask for a straight leather insole install. Either way. Appreciate the hard work and answering why the iron ranger feels better. Shame shame.

I got the leather soled 1000 miles and I love them. I dont wear them everyday so the fiber board doesn't worry me too much. Would like it to be leather but I also dont want to pay more for them

[@bilguunmunkhbayar252]

I ordered those boots I’m really excited

[@bucktroy268]

Series looks awesome! I’ve been waiting to see a rose anvil on the 1000 miles since I found this channel and did a see an origin Maine in there??

[@craig3536]

My dad used to sew the soles on Wolverine boots back in the 80's and 90's in a factory in small town Missouri. I wonder what models he worked on back then.

[@wheel1775]

I bought a pair of 1000 mile wedge sole boots, and the boot were literally two different colors. I wanted to send them back, but I got lazy. There really is a huge variation in leather colors. I would have thought Wolverine would have made some effort to sell boots that were close to the same color.

[@ScottyBennitone]

I bought mine probably about 7 years ago they still look awesome, feel great , and have plenty more miles left in them. I have probably done about 1000 miles in them already. I paid around 230ish at the time.

[@cristianvel619]

I’ve been waiting for this video before buying.

[@123Ir0nman]

I feel like a good name for the series could be "Boot-busting" or "Bootbusters" as kind of a play off Mythbusters. I love the series BTW! I'd love to see some breakdowns of Wolverine carbonmax and durashock work boots maybe do something from their I-90 series. I've been looking for good work boots but I have partially fallen arches and it's difficult to find something with moderate arch support and good cushioning.

[@Lmolina90]

I'm very happy to see this new boot series. I always liked the look of the 1000 mile boot but it looks like it would benefit from more care in its manufacture. I've also never seen these in the EE width I'd need.

[@marccanales2630]

Maybe the 1000 mile stare after learning the quality of these boots...looking forward to more boot studies, friend

[@petersilecchio4417]

I hope your videos make these boot company's make the changes you suggest. Great Video.

[@angelo-001]

Just found a black pair for $80 on a clearance rack, brand new w/o box.. looks cool with some cedar colored leather laces… can’t go wrong!

[@fracturedkoi1]

I’d love to see you look at a pair of Timberland Chocorua boots. I’ve owned a pair for over 15 years and loved them so much I bought another identical pair (although I did notice differences in materials).

[@betulaobscura]

Cool review!

[@chinatownboy7482]

People can wear their boots from one to three miles every day. 365 days a year. 1,000 miles can happen in 1 to 3 years. Nobody will buy a boot if you tell them that it will last at least a year. For a lot of us, that is why we get new boots every year.

[@daleheffernan]

Would love to see the Danner Mountain Light in this series
