Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

[Chip Bellwood]

I measure 11.5d on the brannock. I found a pair of 1000 mile McCleans in CXL the other day at my local Nordstroms rack that were 11.5d. They fit perfectly. I usually size down when buying boots like red wings or Alden's sometimes a full size down depending on th last. TTS was the way to go for me but it really depends on the shape of your feet, how you like your boots to fit and what kind of socks you wear. I thinks that's why no one agrees on sizing. Best bet is to find a place to try them on or buy online with someone who has a good return policy. Some people need to realize that some shoes just wont work with their feet, regardless of size.

I just ordered a pair of wolverine Addison boots off Amazon, I think the look is great, I just hope they fit me properly, I ordered half a size down.

 The McClean boots they are selling now for the sale are not CXL. I just picked up a pair of the old McCleans from Nordstrom's rack and they are CXL. 

Haven't seen the new mcleans, but the old ones are definitely cxl and the leather looks different on the new ones in the pictures I've seen - more like horween Dublin.

Confirmed from wolverines Instagram that these are NOT horween leather at all.

Are you referring to the new McCleans? Because mine came with a Horween card inside.

Yes, the new mccleans thru nordstroms.

Yes, the new mccleans thru nordstroms.

So whats with the Horween card inside the box? Is it a mistake/false advertising? Also came with the same little leather tag on the laces as Original 1000 Miles. How'd you confirm that they aren't Horween?

Not sure. I wouldn't say it's false advertising, one of my pairs came with one of those horween things and i knew it was incorrect. Probably just people throwing **** into boxes because most of their boots are horween leather.

Here is the post and comments from wolverine

I'm sure they want the leather thing on the laces regardless of who makes the leather.

Maybe they won't turn into veiny bull penis leather like the horween ones do looool

Thanks a lot for the info, thats what I was looking for. If you look at the photos I posted of them you will see that the right boot has a very mild bull peen going on where the boot breaks over the ball of foot, definitely not as bad as regular 1000 mile boots I've had. The leather actually seems very high quality, I am surprised that it's not Horween. The only tell tale sign is that it is a bit stiffer than CXL. Wow.

I think the McClean is one of the better looking 1000 Mile boots, they should offer it year round.

Glad someone brought that back from the dead

How well does Wolverine 1000 mile boots fare in gardening/landscaping situations? Do they have stiff enough toe stiffeners for toe protection against mattocks and such?

 

[milw50717]

They are not a safety boot and it would be dangerous to use them as such. There are far better choices of footwear when heavy and sharp objects are being swung around.

anybody dress the 1000 miles up in a "business/casual" work environment? thinking of getting a pair but also can't decide on what color would be the most versatile
