In this Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review, I go in-depth and give my thoughts on the leather, sole, fit, and more. Get the Wolverine 1000 Mile → manly.link/wolverine-1000-mile
If you prefer to read, or you'd like to have your assistant dictate it to you, this link will take you back to our blog for the full detailed review → bootspy.com/wolverine-1000-mi...
The Wolverine 1000 Mile is a rugged boot, but the style is a little more sleek than some of its close counterparts like the Red Wing Iron Ranger.
It's a Goodyear welted beauty, but is it really worth the $300+ price tag?
Our review aims to find out whether this boot is worth jumping on, or if you should save your cash for a different pair.

I think these will be my most worn boot of 2023. I have the ones with the rubber on the sole. They are just way more comfortable than my Thursday's or my Red Wings. Say what you want about the Thursday's only being $199 or the Red Wings using about $30 worth of "better" materials, it doesn't matter if the boot sits in the closet because you don't enjoy wearing it.

Beautiful boot. Can't wait to see what you review next!

@Crackers2549 2 года назад

William, I ordered a half size down in my pair 10 and normally a 10.5 like you and then I put a Dr. Scholls thin insole in mine to help the comfort and take up a little slack... Made the fit better and added comfort... Actually I pretty much do that with all my boots... Arm and Hammer makes a nice thin insert as well and WalMart has their own version too.. For me it makes a difference... Also I put a coat of Sno Seal on the sole and it helps with grip... Nice video buddy....Greg...IN

Very good review. It helped me decide to buy a pair from Wolverine's website during their Memorial Day sale (for around $200!). Getting a 1/2 size down was definitely a good recommendation. Liked and subbed.

@christopherdavisson617 Год назад

I know they aren't really worth the price tag, but I love my Wolverine 1000 Mile boots. The look and the feel are great. The Iron Ranger or the Blacksmith are IMO a much better all around boot. But damn, the 1000 Mile boots are just cool man. Sure, the all leather sole isn't durable. Sure, there are quality issues. Sure, the clicking isn't always the best. All that being said? I don't care. I still love that boot. Good stuff.

@thesharpercoder 2 года назад

True, that. Every 1000 Mile boot resole I have seen on RU-vid shows a steel shank.

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots are the perfect shoe for when I wash dishes at Panda Express. 1000 Mile Boots and Allen Edmonds go on sale, and there are coupons. Red Wings Heritage Boots and Alden never go on sale, and they don't have coupons.

Great review. I have the cap toe with the vibram sole and the rough outs..both are great boots...thanks for your work...I would look at Nordstrom rack for deals on these..I got the rough out for $220.00 and the cap toe for $169.00...

@activelivingchallenger4298 3 года назад

I just ordered 1 for $270 Canadian. Bought a size 9 when I’m usually a size 10 or 10.5 in sneakers. I’ll come back and say how they fit. In terms of the sole I think I’m just going to go to a cobbler and ask to put some vibram on the forefoot for around $40.

@MrBlinsky 2 года назад

I also wear size 10 sneakers. Do they fit you well in size 9 or maybe you advise buying half a size (9.5) smaller?

@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday 4 дня назад

How did the sizing fit ? Did the full size down fit well ? Or is 1/2 size better?

@nundata 11 месяцев назад

i think confusion with the shank comes from the fact that wolverine say there is no shank meaning no metal shank. probaably they were answering to question can you go through scanner with them. they have it but plastic one - just they didnt explain it correctly...

@wildwest1306 2 года назад

I'm wondering if I should order these in the same size I wear in Thursdays (9) or the Iron Ranger (8 1/2)...my sneaker size is 9 1/2....Any ideas what I should go for?

@louio 2 месяца назад

I'm am 8.5 in sneakers and bought 2 pairs of wolverine boots, and I felt the best fit 7.5. I also added an insole for a snug fit.

I wear 10ee iron ranger. Is the D width forgiving? Are the 1/2 sizes wider or longer?

@smiley-qb3nt 5 месяцев назад

They look tad smaller but are roomier than say my Thursday captain which are 8.5 and they are a little tight they are narrow. But yet wolverines 1000 I have look little narrower but are roomier its weird despite being 8d which is smallervthsn my captains. .

@@smiley-qb3nt I've done some with steel shanks and one with fiberglass. It depends on when they were made and I don't know how to determine what it is without taking it apart.

I would say this is actually better than the grant stone diesel. The only major problem with this boot is that the insole isn’t leather. Other than that this is a real rugged service boot, and the grant stones aarent. The diesel is more of a dress boot, looks too flat and ugly

Hipsters reviewing “work boots” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday 4 дня назад

I wouldn’t call these “work boots”, maybe back in the early 1900’s-1920’s but not modern day work boots. Lol I’d classify these as more of a classic heritage lifestyle boot with “work boot” history. Not a dress boot, maybe a service boot, but wouldn’t call it a “fashion” boot either. Lol
