Actually better if they're small, as long as they're well placed. Actually, I'd prefer the toe taps be the kind that are flush with the sole. Better to keep the shoe's balance.

many thanks, my friend. This is the last REAL US-made shoe to retail for over $1k. Worth it, too.
I did it again, bought my third pair of Wolverine Addison's, this time in tan. I got the idea for the tan boots by reading a review from a non manufacturers sight. You can see his boots in the second photo. As you can see, he does not baby them, just some oil and more wear! I hope mine looks like that in a year. Thats what I want, some boots I don't have to break out the polish every time I get a little blemish!

Shocking mistreatment! You would think he bought them to wear hiking.

Are those Wolverines Made in USA or China?

you should seriously consider using conditioner every now and then. Even the cowboy boot wearing ranchers I've talked to confirm that a good leather conditioner will GREATLY increase the life of ANY leather boot.

The weathered boots look terrible.
Please shine yours. They will look a lot better with proper patina.

Allegedly in the USA. From what the owner of the weathered boots said, he does oil them periodically. I like the look, remember, I have two other pairs of 1000 Mile Boots, which I do keep shined, will be nice to have one knock about pair! Besides, they are way to light a tan as is.

The last of the US Handmade Greats!
Oh wow, they are fantastic!!! Where did you find them? l have the exact same pair l bought NOS and they are one of my favourite pairs ever/. l also could have bought a black pair of J&M handmade spade soles in black in a width slightly wider at the time...l do regret not buying them.

Yeah, lots and lots of aussie blokes used to wear shoos with the red dot on the bottom of the heel.

Shooman, my friend! Hope all is well. You DID make a mistake not purchasing those spades. Such a legendary shoe. I just got lucky enough to find an original 1940's pair... pics coming soon.

I post my humble pictures as a counterpoint to all the gorgeous shoes in this thread.
These are a pair of 1990's or so (Thanks, Dinerman, for the estimate) Florsheims I scored on Etsy for 20 clams. Comfortable as can be, and they feel solid. Of course, my choice of socks might have something to do with that.
Downright dangerous/slippery they're so unworn!

1940's J&M Handmades. Closed channel sole is angle cut (ala Vass)... a neat little detail.

many thanks, my friend. A friend e-mailed me all the way from Australia when they appeared in my size on the 'Bay! It's GREAT to have friends!
