Wolverine 721LTD Shell Cordovan 1000 Mile Boot Review - Page 24

Here are some shots of mine.  Like I said, these are about 6 months old and have been worn regularly (3-4 times per week)...

^^^^^^^^

Nice boots!  It looks like you take really good care of them -- they should age really well.

They look brand new 

Thanks very much!  They do look pretty fantastic; though, I gotta say, flipping through some of the other posts in this thread, everyone's 721s look amazing.  Some of the more worn-looking ones are incredible.  Looking forward to seeing how mine age.

These look incredible. i might have to put a pair on my list for when the next (secret) release comes out.

Thanks a lot.  I don't do too much to them.  I try not to wear them two days in a row, and I always put shoe trees in them.  I brush them fairly regularly.  And once every 2-3 months I use a little bit of saphir renovateur to clean and condition them, followed by a very sparse amount of Alden no. 8 wax.  I am following advice I found in the following video from Leffot.  I pretty much do exactly what the guy in the video does.

My first post on this thread.... your boots look amazing...I love my 721's but I have never been totally satisfied with the size of the sole.... so I had them resoled with a wider sole and some red dainite.... see what you guys think...

What size are those? The toe-end looks much less bulky, and the shoe-overall looks more elegant. Love the look you've created.

Thanks!  I agree they do look more like a Tricker's boot.  But with Horween Shell as opposed to the shell Tricker's uses... although some of Tricker's shell colors are pretty cool...

I hate you... ;  )

Only have lousy cell-phone pics =/.

~6weeks old - I wear them usually twice a week - they're so comfy I can't resist. I usually grab them when it's raining out, too! Hey, it's shell after all, right?

Pictured with #8 Alden PTB's at right that are noticeably glossier.
