Noice captoes! Is that a storm welt?


Sure looks like it. I told you that you'd like what's coming. I like the wingtips. Got a pair coming as soon as they release them fro shipping.

do we know the date of release on these?


Off the top of my head no. BTW, my brown 1Ks are going swimming again on Saturday. LOL! When I'm done with these boots they should be put on display at Wolverine HQ. I'm going to kill these things sooner or later.....

Lookin' good. So when are we going for one of my hikes to really break them in and get the patina going?

You mean they don't patina in carpeted offices

That's a good idea, though. I should get off ****** and get on a hike while the weather's good.

head down to the machine shop if you really want a patina. Harsh chemicals + sharp metal shards + hot embers from the grinders will make your fancy shoes look like workboots in no time.

The first half of my working career was spent in machine shops. I know what that environment can do to boots very well.
