Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

Seems more like a witch hunt.

Yup.

They'll darken the boot a bit on the ankle, but if it's the brown CXL, the indigo should just look a bit darker, more black than blue. That's been the case with my brown CXL Indy boots, and I think it's the same with my SO's 1K plain-toes. If it really bothers you, I've had some luck getting indigo off my wallet with Venetian Shoe Cream, but that's shell. I haven't really put any effort into removing it on my Indys.

Thanks for your input! Darkening isn't so bad - just so long as it's not blue haha. I did get the boots in brown.

Anyone can dye something with (synthetic) indigo and claim they're an expert. Not all raw denim is the same. A jean with a tapered leg opening and loomstate denim, like Strike Gold's 2109, is much more likely to cause friction and stain the boots than a bootcut pair that's been pre-washed or uses sanforized denim, and that's not even factoring in the differences of indigo. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much for everyone, and all it takes is one counter-example to invalidate it.

I ended up getting APC's New Standard Slim Straight and got them hemmed to about 1.5 inches longer as I normally wear them cuffed up. I do pre-soak my jeans, but with cold water, not hot, so there is still a considerable amount of dye that rubs off later.

You should be fine, then. It's usually more of an issue with roughout and suede boots.

Great boots Edmund.

My boon dockers coming up to 2 months of wear.


Indigo stains!


Indents from wrapping the laces:

If you're talking to me, I use Venetian Shoe Cream or Saphir Renovateur on my CXL and shell. I don't use coconut oil as a leather conditioner, and I don't particularly support its use.

 

[Crane's]

I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner, saddlesoap, Filson boot oil and Sno Seal on my CXL and shell boots.

Man wrapping the laces around the back looks so stupid. Almost as stupid as wearing really expensive jeans and rolling the cuffs up. Its like bizarro world sagging

 

[Crane's]

How interesting, the active conditioner in renovateur is mink oil.

Well, I can't use coconut oil, because it's going to stain my boots orange.

 

[Crane's]

DoghQo'!!! LOL!

What is with your signature, Jesus Christ.

An amazon link to VSC? C'mon...

I found a pic of your car online:

A quick comparison between the Krause (size 9) and LT721 Shell (size 8.5). Btw, the Krause is on sales in the marketplace. Size is a bit too big for me.

Too many people are selling the little containers of VSC for a much worse value, and I got sick of sending the link to everyone who asks about VSC.

I don't have any bumper stickers; they're tacky. I even take the dealer frames off.
