LOOKING GOOD!!!!!

the color is very similar to the RW 9013 Chestnut and I can assure you, it matches denim very well!

Anyone have the Bradford Oxford? http://www.unionmadegoods.com/wolver...XFORD_305.html It's like the black Addison but a shoe rather than a boot. I saw it in person yesterday and though it was a great looking shoe. Almost bought it.

You're gonna take the impressed female opinion over the SF sniper opinion, right? They're cool and you like them. Good job.

Hi, I am new to this forum, I need help with the sizing of the 1000 mile boot. I am wearing a US 11D in Red Wing GT, so I do not know which sizes fits me the best (US 10, 10.5 or 11) as people are sizing down a full size/half size (I'm afraid US 11 would be too long/big and 10.5/10 be too small).

A final question, is the Wolverine 1000 mile brown similar to the GT cherry red in terms of color? I am just judging from the photos posted on this thread. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Order the same size you wear in Red Wings.

I definitely wouldn't take the coworkers opinion over the SF'ers. She's not that hot anyway.

I checked out both the cherry GT's and the brown 1000 miles, and they only similarity is that they are both a "shade" of brown. There is no red hue to the brown 1k mile boots like there is w/the GT. It's a rough call on sizing. I bought an 8.5 in the Addison but an 8.5 in the GT felt much more snug. The GT felt narrower in my opinion.

Ny one have any issues with the 1000 boots having bumps on the leather, have only had them for three days bought them at revolve, however they say all the boots will do this.

Probably a really dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway, how long do you guys wait before using boot creme on your 1000 Mile boots. I have been wearing mine for about 3 months now and have yet to use any boot creme or anything on my boots. Should I use some and if so what should I use? I don't want to change the color of my boots at all. BTW, I have the 1000 mile boot in Brown Chromexcel.

it really comes down to how much abuse they've seen. my cobbler suggested a neutral boot cream for chromexcel, which shouldn't change the color and will add a little bit of a shine, and there are many companies that make it. i'll use neatsfoot oil on mine when the time comes, but that will potentially darken the leather and won't add a shine. i'd also like to offer for anyone with shoe care questions, while there is a wealth of knowledge on styleforum and the internet, a trip to the local cobbler can be very helpful. i'd suggest calling up a store in your area that sells quality shoes and ask them who they recommend as a cobbler. then just stop by and ask questions, and buy what you need. edit: also, fitchottie i wouldn't be too worried about it, i think that would settle down once you break the shoes in.

It's normal wear. My boots are over a year old and have lived a hard life so far. I just had them resoled and cleaned by my cobbler and this is what they look like. Original 1000 Mile Boot Commando Resole 1 by DYSong Photography, on Flickr
