    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Viberg is now priced above Crockett and Jones. How is their quality control? Alden has atrocious quality control and uses worse leather than C&J.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Make sure your foot can actually fill the volume of the shoe and the toe box isn't so big you have trouble walking up stairs. This is in addition to sizing the arch length correctly and having room in the toe box to not jam. I had a really bad experience when sold true to size Indy boots at an...

    The Original Chippewa Heritage Boot Line

    They look good. Less clunky than the equivalent Red Wings.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Thanks. I have very similar sizes but have anvil feet. (12 in Vans, 12.5 in narrower sneakers, 11-11.5 D in dress shoes as I have a wide foot with a narrow heel so going to E caused tons of slippage) I will go with the 10.5 if I get them and exploit Normstroms return policy if I toejam walking...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    How bad would a full size down be? I measure an 11.5, tried on an 11 at Nordstrom's and still had well over half an inch of toe room (I had troubble hitting the the end of toebox sliding my foot forward with the boot unlaced)with the ball of my right foot being behind the widest part of the...

    Are the heritage/service boots made on the same last as every other Chippewa boot with the fiberboard insole and rubber insert?

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Maybe I will hold off on the LP then. Anyways they dried overnight and feel fine but a thread on the upper came loose. God damn it Alden. Alden DC said they would be fixing it for free but I guess I'll be checking out the Wolverine 1000 miles for another pair. How do they fit wide, flat...

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    I just got some Alden 401s and found I didn't need to size down at all. I am an 12-12.5 and the 12 D fit me fine as I fit the arch length of the my foot like you're supposed to. They seemed a bit dry after wearing them for a day so I just applied Obenauf's Leather Oil inside and out. What are...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    What are signs of oversaturated leather? I liberally oiled my new Alden 401s today as they felt a bit dry with Obenauf's Leather Oil outside and inside and parts of the leather lined insole where it dripped down have severe dark spots. How often should I oil them if I wear them heavily? Once...
