I'd like to chime in with my new additions: 721 LTD and 744 LTD.

Wolverine got it right with both of those make ups but this years cap toe in the dark brown/cigar shade is a home run! Anyone have a pair that's got some wear on 'em?

My gf got me some Saphir Reno for the holidays; loving the luster it creates.

^ Great color. Reno smells damn good too

My 744's have some wear to say the least, been rotating them with my RW 9011's every evening when I get home from work and am taking the 744's with me to Az. tomorrow for a week. Mario gave me grieve about the gloss on them but Reno and Alden Defender does that. I will post a picture later in the week when I get some time in Phoenix but when new and I brushed the hell out of them:

You got a good girl...

Reno does a hell of a job on CXL also BTW.

LOL. The gf got me some of the Defender, too! I'm going to try it on my Aldens.

Nice! My CXL 1K's are due for something. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Thanks for posting the pics CI. Does the 744 fit the same as standard 1K's or are they TTS. If they are different, would you say they are a roomy last, like the 1K's?

I went TTS on mine, and they feel that way to me. I don't own any other Wolverines, so cannot compare.

It really shows the different shade unique to Alden #8. AE & Wolverine burgundy are so different. My preference is for Alden's color 8.

 

[FENWAY]

^ Agree, but I will say the recent batch of Alden #8 is the darkest I've seen

Saw the 744LTD shell boot today at my local Tanger outlet mall Allen Edmonds store.

this boot
http://leffot.com/shop/wolverine-744-ltd-pre-order/

Had in a number of sizes......mine (7D) was available and I tried on. What a nice boot

They were selling the boot for $399 which seems like a great deal.

Didn't kop........don't really love the cap toe and certainly don't presently need another pair of boots......but, may make it back there if they stay on my mind!

 

[Astronaut888]

oh, they fit pretty true to size as well..........

The 744 is also down to $550 at Epaulet:

Crane's, I'm curious about these 721 pictures, namely the color of the boot in them. I'm thinking it may be a white balance thing, but they look completely brown, almost like what my 744s started out as. I'd love to know what color they look like after all this time, if those aren't an accurate portrayal of their color. I would think they'd have stayed a deep red/cherry, with maybe some yellow/brown highlights.

My friend who copped a pair of 721s accidentally earlier this year from AE decided he doesn't want them anymore (boots aren't really his thing) and is letting me get them at his cost. So I'm getting ready to either LP or sno-seal mine. I think my 744s ended up a bit too dark for my taste after the sno-seal (a uniform super-dark chocolate brown) though they are wearing nicely. But it seems like people are getting much lighter colors with sno-seal on their 721s.

I should buff up my 744s and post at some point.

They'll shine up no problem.
