The Thursday Buy: These Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots are a Dependable Style Essential This Season

Wolverine 1000 Mile boots review.

If I sound like a broken record on this Brooklyn style blog, it’s because that, well, the best season for your favorite fall menswear essentials is upon us, presenting opportunities aplenty for rich and rugged textures, the best men’s leather boots, cozy flannel shirts and so much more (so, so much more!).

We’ve talked about everything from one of the best denim shirts to the best men’s henleys and durable trucker jackets and work pants in the past few weeks and months, but what’s a perfect complementary addition to each of those rugged menswear essentials?

It’s simple, at least on the surface, my friends: That’d be a pair of the best leather boots for men, and the Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain Toe Roughout Boots arrive once again to steal the show and take place of pride among your favorite leather boots in your rotation.

The Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain Toe Roughout Boots carry on the famed legacy of the Michigan brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, durability and toughness in footwear, from its sturdy work boots to its hard-working and more lifestyle-oriented boots. The Wolverine 1000 Mile line has been a menswear classic for well over a decade now –or at least, a treasured part of the modern man’s style rotation as all things Americana have come back in full force.

There’s much to love about the Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain Toe Roughout Boots, including their handmade construction in Big Rapids, Michigan — something tough to find these days, as American-made menswear is in short supply. That attention to detail means you’re getting exceptional quality, at least in my experience with Wolverine men’s boots, and that also includes Goodyear welted construction and a leather outsole finished with a Vibram heel.

Contrast welt stitching adds a handsome touch to these boots, which will develop an even deeper patina over time. Waxed cotton laces should also prove mighty durable, and of course, these stylish men’s leather boots will only look better with age.

As for my own personal style preferences, I’d wear the Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain Toe Roughout Boots with everything from dark blue jeans and a light blue chambray shirt to a henley, a waxed trucker jacket and an edgy pair of black jeans.

Olive chinos and a white Oxford shirt are also a worthy style pairing for a touch of high-low contrast, and given the investment-level price tag on the Wolverine 1000 Mile Plain Toe Roughout Boots, I’d wager you’ll certainly want to get as much wear as possible out of ’em. It’s the best season around for menswear, so lace up your new favorite pair of boots accordingly, my friends.
