This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever had. I went for a week to NYC and had it all the time for my long walks. It was better than a pair of sneakers I brought for walking. And this is for new pairs or beat up ones. I have two pairs of the original 1000 miles and will start trying the other models soon. Cheers!

This is a high quality and comfortable boot, but I ended up returning it because the size does not fit. I normally wear size 10EE in dress shoes and ordered 9.5EEE in 1000 miles black color because some earlier reviewers said this runs large. But even 9.5EEE is too large! The 9.5EEE is too long for me. This is due to the shape of the last. The length of the outsole is very accurate 9.5 (it's slightly shorter than my 10EE dress shoe), but the heel part of this 1000 miles boot is protruding outward making this shoe fits much longer than its stated size. I think my correct size for 1000 miles is probably 9EEE. Since there is no 9EEE black in stock, I ended up just returning this pair. Will consider buying a pair if 9EEE is back in stock.

I love the vintage look of this boot! It's reminiscent of something made during WW2, which by the way still uses leather from a company that actually supplied footwear during the war effort. Along with other reviewers here, I will echo that a FULL SIZE smaller than what I normally wear seemed to fit me. I needed to go through the exchange process and should have listened to other reviewers. As far as comfort is concerned, these are really stiff and not the most comfortable boots i've ever had. In fact the first few days of wearing these, one of my toes started to bleed due to a slightly different crease on the right boot that dug sharply into my large toe. The left boot had no issues. After about two weeks of on and off wear, they finally started to break in and the leather started to soften up. They have gotten a bit more comfortable but still on the stiff side. I work in Chicago and walking the streets in rain/sleet/snow you'll have to be careful as the sole has no tread but the heel makes a good stop if you start to slip. You'll just need to direct your weight on the heel if that occurs. Despite the painful break-in period, I still gave these a 4 star rating as I can't get over how great these look and these will get more comfortable over time.

Buy these boots now! I have to thank Wolverine customer service for replacing my boots, which came with a minor defect in the sole. The defect was the heel was uneven and would pivot slightly. DO NOT worry about the quality of these boots. I assume this defect RARELY happens and should not deter anyone from purchasing these boots. I highly recommend getting rubber out soles to protect the leather soles from wear on pavement or concrete. These boots are very comfortable and I have received TONS of compliments on the appearance of them.

This was a gift for our son, who had expressed some interest in Wolverine products in the past, drawn by your reputation of high quality. He is absolutely delighted with these boots! He says they're breaking in just fine and are exactly what he was looking for, thanks for making a great product!
