Love these shell cordovan pics. Does Wolverine have a plain toe 1000 mile shell model? I'd be interested in grabbing a pair if they do.

I took the insoles out of my ranger mocs that are 1/2 size small and, as mentioned, it definatley improves the fit. I do end up standing on the knot of the thread that holds the sole onto the shoe (since it's now exposed on the footbed...

I have plenty of Obenauf's leather oil (their standard, not their LP). I'd been reluctant to use Obenauf's on this leather because of the beeswax component, but I might give that a try rather than waiting for Filson to ship.

Okay, I'll hold off on the color. As long my boots are becoming a cautionary tale, I'll post pics after I clean them up - however they turn out. I can get Saphir Renovateur locally but it's expensive, so I'll probably be waiting for...

I've had a brown pair of the original 1000 boots for over a year and love them. I don't do anything special in terms of care; I initially put on a good vibram halfsole and otherwise just give them an occasional horsehair brushing, esp....

Those black KMW 1980s are fantastic. I recently tried on a pair and if you're looking for a black jean, you could do a helluva lot worse. Wish these were size 33.

These fit true to size?

I can't believe these are still around. Where are all the size 9 boot wearers? If these were a 10D I'd be breaking them in right now.
