Just looked over splattered's photos of the Montgomery's and thought I'd chime in with my thoughts, fwiw (probably not much).

For the price, the quality doesn't look that great at all. Uneven triple stitching, ragged edges on the tongue really put me off. The quality/color of the leather doesn't look that exciting, but then again I am just looking at photos.

As far as the design, it looks pretty bland (then again, I like TBC). The heavily padded tongue and collar look very much out of place, as does the color and tread of the sole.

It looks like Wolverine tried to make a Heritage boot, but included some of their everyday workboot designers on the design team. But, yeah, the box looks nice!

I'll be interested to see what the 1000 Mile looks like up close.

I will try to take some pictures later on tonight, any specifics?

 

[zissou]

If you can take 5 or 6 photos from various angles, that would be great. What are your impressions of the boot?

 

[Rosenberg]

how much does the 1000 mile go for? too much for me im sure but i feel the need to know

 

[Mauro]

$325.00 for the 1,000 mile boot which is made in the USA
The rest are under 250.00

I think that's a fair price considering. If you try to compare them to the service boot or the bowery boot its uncool.
it's a great boot for the price.

 

[Rosenberg]

mauro can you get any of them? i like the 1000 mile but i wish it had a little lower profile

 

[Mauro]

I can get ANY of them.

 

[Crane's]

As Dave just said. If you want to know about Wolverine boots call him. We've carried them for about as long as dirt's been around. It's rumored that Wolverine has backed off of us a bit so......

 

[Vernon-Dozier]

Montgomery's will be arriving tomorrow per Fedex tracking. I'll post up thoughts and pics as soon as get my hands on them.

it's a great boot for the price.

But it's made in China!!!!!

PS - Where's my SF discount, these are kind of expensive!

- People in this thread.

the 1,000 mile boot is made in the USA not china.
don't get the 1,000 made in the USA boot confused with the other boots in the heritage collection.

SF discounts are long gone.

That was sarcasm, sorry. Once I get hands on these at my Neimans I will give you guys a call to order mine.

Don't sweat the profile. Any lower and it would be a dress shoe. Get these - you won't be disappointed. They're solid without being heavy, the leather is sturdy and supple, and the fit in the toe box is perfect.

if i go try on some other wolverines will the sizing be the same?
