Hi everyone,
I really didn't know where to post this so please feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place. I know each brand have their own threads but this question didn't seem right in either.
As the title suggests, I am looking at two pairs of boots, the Crockett and Jones Coniston and the Wolverine 1000 mile No 8.
I know comparing these boots is slightly like comparing apples and oranges but they are the ones I'm looking at.
I've been only buying Church's for the last 10 years or so when it comes to solid boots / shoes but Church's seem to be moving away from the walking/country boot. So, I'm pretty sure I know where CJ fit in terms of quality when it comes to Northampton shoes and Wolverine seem good quality. The question is, which is best out of these two particular boots? The Coniston's are C&J and therefore quality is a bit of a given. On the other hand, the Wolverine is cordovan (which I've been led to believe is better than cow hide.
Anyway, what do you guys think? I'm not really asking for style advice or opinion here, just comments on quality, comfort and durability.
thanks,
