    Wolverine 721LTD Shell Cordovan 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Hey Crane, Just an update. I got the filson boot oil last week and applied it. The boots are feeling great now that I've stopped caring so much for their safety. I've been wearing the **** out of them. I haven't had a chance to take them out on some of that Georgia red clay, but soon enough I'm...

    Just did it. I applied it very Liberally. It darkened it a ton, and I can tell it's going to look awesome. You were SO right about how much thicker Filson oil is. WOW. It is amazing. Go ahead and say I told you so, You've earned it for putting up with all my questions.

    Ahh now I understand. I forgot to tell you how I applied it. First pass I put it on a cloth and then went over the shoe. Second pass, I put it on my finger and then would rub it into a small area. Then more, and rub in. And I'd keep doing this. I didn't really think there was a wrong way to do...

    In regards to 1. Good point. 2. Also good point that I am thinking about as well. I guess I just liked the way the looked and felt, and read Crane's review of them and liked how they looked beat up. I think the fundamental flaw I'm having is I don't like how mine are looking all beat up. If...

    Wolverine 721LTD Shell Cordovan 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Yeah, I know. I should just stop worrying about them. I want them to develop a nice patina. Any thing is fixable I guess. I may try a colored boot cream first, only because that is what someone else recommended on the shoe care forum. Problem is I wear them in the rain, mud, ect, not just the...

    Can some one help me out with my Wolverine 1000 mile Tan Addisons. I just want the top one to look like the bottom one. Been like that since day one. Maybe gotten a little worse.

    Wolverine 721LTD Shell Cordovan 1000 Mile Boot Review

    You are correct that I am spending way too much time worrying about this. But this being my first pair of nice boots, I can actually do very little about my obsession. The one on the bottom is perfect. The one on the top has been like that for since day one, and has gotten a little worse...

    I just read your previous posts a few pages back about mink oil. I had no idea that it did that. I always heard that it softened leather, which is unnecessary for Chromexcel. Does neatsfoot oil have the same bad effect? The top part of my boot, just behind the toecap is loosing color. I was...

    Cool thanks. I'm not so worried anymore. Outside it is raining. I did not properly describe the shelf. It is a NSF restaurant roll cart thing in my living room. Its a vented shelf looking thing. Lots of air flow. With regards to the boot oil, should I use the lexol conditioner or the mink...

    Wolverine 721LTD Shell Cordovan 1000 Mile Boot Review

    I am sure at this point you all think I am a colossal moron, but I have yet another stupid question. Today, while I was on campus it started raining. Because my boot oil has not arrived from Filson yet, Washington State to Georgia, I have not waterproofed my boots, though when I originally got...

    This is with no pressure on the shoe basically. Its pretty much flush. This is with some pressure applied to the sole with my thumb. Did these pictures show up?

    Ahh, Oh No!! I've been wearing my 1000 mile boots for about a week and a half now, and they are great except for one rather scary flaw. The heel plate seems to be separating from the sole of the boot! Please someone out there tell me that this is normal. Its not horrible and I only noticed it...

    Dude, You are awesome. Made me feel a whole lot better about the sno seal and stuff. Thanks for all of the help. Just on a personal note, I would not have gotten these shoes if it weren't for your reviews picture of your boots, especially the addisons that were put through the ringer. So thank...

    I'm thinking about picking up a pair of the tan Addison. When I buy a shoe like this however, I tend to wear it out rather quickly because I will wear it 7 days a week. I have a tendency to wear a shoe a lot and wear it out then replace it after it starts falling apart. this would be my first...
