FIELD-TESTED HERE

With 1000 Mile in its name, it’s not surprising that this heritage style boot is designed for long-lasting wear. In addition to the refine ruggedness of Horween’s Chromexel leather, they feature a hand-buffed finish, a leather welted sole and footbed. The Vibram heel is the only part of the boot that does not contain leather.

They feel stiff when you first put them on but once you break them in, they form perfectly to your feet. These boots are great for walking around a carpeted office floor, but not for performing hard labor.

Nevertheless, the aesthetics alone make this boot a must-have for men who admire fine classic footwear. As the boots age, they develop a unique patina, giving them a sophisticated, timeless appeal. A wingtip design and double-row stitching complement the brogue detailing. The Addison comes with speed laces so you can put them on and remove them quickly.
