for what do you need citation shitbull?

red wing do have their own tannery
wolve do not
rw have a more intimate connection with their leather because of such like you and your mumsies

anecdotal: more complaints about wolverine leather and constuction on all fashion forums like SF, sufufuf and even those leddit fagogts despite both rw heritage and 1k's bein very popular

perhaps those buying 1k's more more discerning than those buying more rugged rw heri?
dunno
problems seen with 1k miles = leather qc issues

horween tannery that make cxl have varying grades - top used by estmeed shoemakers worldwide

low used by places like wolve et.al.

wolves fault for being cheap, their clicking process not cutting the bad leather out

more bad leather cut out = waste = gotta pay for more leather

they're trying to scrounge as much as possible out of a single hide

better makers cut out poorer parts of the hide, part of their qc

concerning insole: note that the 1k mile is more comfy initially compared to IR et.al

note that footbed of 1k is slightly more cushioned whereas IR is rockhard like that cock in your coit

real leather isn't as

note the black insole - def not leather insole - some kind of synthetic composite material

rw production = leather insole see pic

fibreboard not bad but will need replacing more often than leather insole

lower-mid to top shoemakers in the world only use leather insoles. even loake, lowest uk shoemaker, only uses fibreboard/composite for lower tiers - their higher range 1880 only use leather

fibreboard will absorb all that sweat from your rancid monkey toes and will eventually crumble, leather insole will take 20-30 years to crumble the same way - sooner if your sweat is super rank

cheap boots but on principle rw are better made
