I'm in Denver, CO. But I'm willing to bet you can find a similar deal in NY.

cool thanks. will definitely look for that then. i thought it would be a lot more than that. 


Oh no, it's not expensive by any means. It gets expensive if you do a full recraft/resole. That will run you a C note maybe more depending on who does it.

Listen Up!

I'm bringing in a pair of the original 1Ks in #8 size 10. There's a limited supply available in the rest of the size run so if you want them better give us a call. When they come in I'm going to take a pair of brown, rust and the #8s and take a photo of them side by side in daylight and under 5500K artificial light. You'll have your reference for the difference in colors finally.

I can get the Krause boots in both colors. Again the supply is limited and I have no clue when they'll be back around. PM me for details and I'll just say this. Merry Christmas from all of us at Cranes.

I'm also going to bring in Snoseal and Obenauf's and stock it too. I just need to figure out who the suppliers are.

Giving you a call tomorrow. So the #8s aren't the limited LTD versions, right? Can't afford those...

So, where's the best price on a pair of Tan 1Ks? I love my rust pair, but I'm looking to get add a pair of tans to half sole. Crane's perhaps?

Crane's: I know you were joking about those whisky shell 1Ks but is there any possibility that Wolverine might actually consider doing this? The only reason why I kind of want tan 1Ks is because that's the closest I would get a to whisky.

This is not my pic, but its exactly what i got.


Ok time to find the filson oil locally. If not i will be calling your store. I havent even worn the 1ks yet, and im already thinking about getting another pair soon.

I got the same exact starter kit too. I'm sorry if this has been asked, but what's the difference between the Creme and Conditioner - which one to use first? Should I use this kit before applying sno-seal/obenauf (still waiting for it in the mail)? Should I polish my shoes first before getting a half-sole topy? I've been wearing them in wet weather for about 2 weeks now.

That depends on whether or not you want to be assured of getting best quality boots or not. We sell firsts and we look them over before we ship.

If I wanted to to do a minimum manufacturing order they would probably make them for us. It's not going to happen so get the tans.

Think viscosity and you have the order of application. Don't bother with the creme if you're going to snoseal or LP them. So you've been wearing them in wet conditions straight out of the box? That's something you don't do. Don't oil the soles if you're going to half sole them.
