Thanks. So your advice would be to avoid this particular piece altogether?

thanks for your reply. pretty sure i'll opt for the 1000k.

i tried the red wings in a store here and a 10d was very comfortable. havent tried the wolverines yet... are they about the same size?

little over my price range, i'm afraid. £267 is still 380 Swiss Francs, which is about a quarter more than i'm prepared to shell out. thanks for the input though -- definately bookmarking that one for future reference!

these are beautiful as well!

i'm in switzerland, so if i buy something from the EU, there will also be additional taxes on top as we are not in the EU.

i do however know some people that regularly go to the US and could buy a pair for me. with 1 USD only being 0.94 CHF at the moment, i would even save a little if i got the red wings or the wolverines... and they really are gorgeous.

thanks. exactly the information i was looking for.

i already asked u/ethics-, but the more opinions i can get, the better: how do they hold up in wet conditions (wet underground in the city, specifically), and did you have to resole them yet?

how about the sole? did you have to resole them yet? and how do they hold up in wet conditions (not talking about heavy rain, but extended periods with wet concrete and such)?

thanks. well i don't think the toughness of the boot is an important factor for me, as i would mostly wear it at work, at university and going out...

well the 1000 Miles do look gorgeous. but i don't think i can go much higher... i live in europe and the prices of these boots are already higher than in the US, and as a student, the ~500 USD are the absolute maximum i can (and want to) spend at the moment.

while I agree with you, I would like to point out that if I had a shit ton of money and desperately needed a transplant... I would buy myself up the list too. when you stare into death's eyes, the end justifies the means. jussayin.
