THE WOLVERINE ORIGINAL 1000 MILES BOOTY. Goodyear welted? Check. Horween chromexcel leather? Check. Rubber sole? No check. So are Wolverine 1000 Miles the perfect first boot? Well...maybe. I think the Red Wing Iron Rangers may be the more popular choice a lot of time but they lose a little bit of wearability in some specific cases.
ANYWAYS just WATCH the video.Thanks and goodnight.

The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)

The leather was used in WWI "Around 1913 Horween Leather Company in Chicago needed to diversify their product offerings and developed Chromexcel for mechanical uses. One of the main uses for Chromexcel at the time was for use in motor seals and gaskets. With world war 1 starting just after the leather was developed in 1914, Chromexcel became heavily used in the war effort. A lot of Chromexcel was made for motor seals in large trucks and even tanks. A leather seal is preferred by highly-experienced mechanics and engineers because the seal slowly breaks over time. An operator can actually hear the seal failing slowly which them a heads up that it is time to replace the seal . Whereas a synthetic seal fails immediately and completely leaving the operator without notice."

I have both Wolverine 1K miles and Thursday Boots, so I can compare them. First of all, my Wolverines (bought in Norway) came with Vibram rubber both front and back, so that was nice. I must say, I prefer the 1K’s, as the TB’s kinda feels like toy boots in comparison. I just like the feeling of heft, and the 1K’s ooze no nonsense and simple construction. The TB’s had much shorter (/non-existent) break in and has softer leather and footbed. The softer (and thinner) leather makes it feel a lot less rugged, though. They are also Made in Mexico, for what it’s worth. In my mind, it’s sort of like raw denim vs stretch denim -both has its pros and cons, and let’s not forget the price difference. Overall I’m happy with both, and rotate between my brown Wolverines and black Thursdays. 🙂 Oh, and thanks for another good video, Mr. Snail!

Luck of the draw with that loose grain. Maybe try a commando lug sole when/if you do resole em. I've never owned those but Horween leather plus the construction makes em solid. Try some Truman boots. They have pretty unique leather selections. I also hope you do get a pair of shell cordovan boots someday. I know you'll love em.
