We are really excited about the new Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots for LADIES! It’s really difficult finding cool shoes for women. These are essentially a shrunken version of the men’s 1000 Mile boots so the proportions are perfect. The women’s 1000 mile is made just like the men’s of Horween Chromexcel in the USA. We’re stocking them in black and brown and sizes 5-10. I know we’ve said it before but we love women in men’s shoes, these boots are just so badass and cute at the same time.
Women’s 1000 Mile Original, Black & Brown Chromexcel – $325
More than 100 years ago, Wolverine founder G.A. Krause built a company on a dream of creating finely crafted footwear using the best materials of the time. The Wolverine 1,000 Mile shoe was created in a time when men were looking for authentic craftsmanship and footwear that would last. Advertised as comfortable enough to “give you 1,000 miles of wear,” the shoe became a wardrobe staple for men of the 20th century.
The next 1,000 Miles has arrived, introducing the “Addison“. One hundred years after the first 1,000 Mile shoes debuted Wolverine continues to create finely crafted footwear using the best materials of the time. Made of a new Horween leather called Inferno these boots are as comfortable as the day is long and built to take whatever you can throw at them.

This coming fall the Wolverine 1000 Mile collection is unveiling a limited edition boot under the imprint 721LTD (named as a nod to the original 1000 Mile boot reference number). They will be built in the USA in Horween shell cordovan. That’s all we’ll say for now other than we have seen the sample and can tell you they are going to be very sweet.
To celebrate the release Wolverine has commissioned a short film series to document the process of creating the 721LTD boots. The first film profiles America’s finest tannery, Horween Leather Co. in Chicago. Horween takes us through the process of making the shell cordovan that will be supplied to the 721LTD boots.
Because of our special relationship with Wolverine, Leffot has been selected as one of a handful of retailers to stock this exceptional boot. We will continue to keep you updated of all the latest developments including the next chapter in this series. We can hardly wait for fall.
Seems like we’re over the hump and safely into spring, if your struggling with footwear options we’d like to offer a few suggestions. Casual doesn’t have to look sloppy in fact a smart casual shoe is an excellent choice for a dress down workday. Suede chukkas or a cordovan loafer for instance with slacks and a blazer is classic, sporty and appropriate. And a pair of deck shoes with shorts or khakis is an excellent alternative to sneakers or flip-flops. There are a lot of options out there so don’t be surprised when you see work boots with cargo shorts.

The Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots have traveled far and wide, our clients own them in Scotland, Australia, Germany, Singapore and this pair in Brazil. Antonio was kind enough to write us and let us know how much he is enjoying his.
If there is one question we get asked most often about these boots it’s “How will they wear?” Well, they look pretty good to us, obrigado Antonio.
Hi Steven,
I bough these black Wolverine 1000 Mile boots from you, when I was in New York, November 6th 2009 (a Friday – I was with my daughter). You were so kind and made me try the boots, and from that point on there was no going back! I bought them right away. Congratulations for your fantastic shop, and for the “out of shop” experience – the website, blog and so on – because that was how I discovered the store, surfing the web here in Brazil.
I am a painter, so I made this photo of the already worn boots in front of a little painting of mine.
Tis’ the season to be rustic, our reorder of Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots is here. These boots not only look great, they’re made to last. That’s because they’re made with Genuine Horween Chromexcel leather right here in the U.S.A.
This is our final order before Christmas and it’s possible there won’t be enough to fill every stocking. Santa’s got a brand new bag, Ho, Ho, Ho……
