The Red Wing Blacksmith and Wolverine 1000 Mile are both VERY similar. They're both from heritage USA brands, both Goodyear welted, and both made with excellent materials.

Red Wing is based in Red Wing, Minnesota, and Wolverine is based in Rockford, Michigan.

Despite all their similarities, there are also a lot of differences. For one, the leather is tanned at different facilities and uses a different process. This creates a fairly stark difference in the finished result as one is shinier than the other.

The soles on both of these boots is different, too, which has big implications for whether or not you can wear them in wet weather.

And yes, I do definitively choose one boot over the other at the end of the video, so make sure you stick around and watch the whole thing.

I compare the Red Wing Blacksmith and the Wolverine 1000 Mile boot based on six categories:

-Style
-Leather Quality
-Sole Quality
-Fit and Sizing
-Break in Period
-Price

For each category, we pick a winner. The boot with the most points at the end of the Boot Battle goes home the victor. Then, we send the BootSpy Award of Excellence to the winning brand's corporate headquarters and never hear anything back from them again. Just kidding, we don't do the last part.
