i tried these on the other day, sizing-wise they are very similar to the red wing gentleman's traveler. very nice boots - cool and rugged. leather is pretty soft from the start. would probably buy if it weren't for just having tried on the trickers stow boots, which just have more class.

It's a shame they have the double stitching on these. I think they would be perfect with single. That said, still think they are a cool looking boot. Big fan of Wolverine, will pick up a pair soon I'm sure

There's nothing wrong with the stitching, especially with a nice pair of raw denims. I'm only saying that since I picked up a pair of the Addisons.

I also think these look great. The styling keeps them from looking too rugged -- just a touch of class. I'm thinking about grabbing a pair in tan...

And for those complaining about the wingtip style and stitching, these are straight from the archives. Not all work boots need to look the same and not all of them looked the same back in the day:

And just to drive this point home, here's a (Montgomery Ward's, I think) catalog from the 1930's. Notice the wingtip workboot style.
