A while ago, I picked up a pair of suede Wolverine 1000 milers. I wasn't really in the market for a new pair of boots, but the color caught my eye and I thought, what the heck. Since I'm into my fourth week of working from home, I don't really have anywhere to wear them, but that hasn't kept me from messing around with them. One night, as I was aimlessly looking up things on line, I came across some NOS WW2 Marine boondocker laces. That seemed to be just the thing I needed. They are a kind of medium brown-burgundy color, and I think they look nice against the orange/tan of the boot. Are they authentic? Who knows. Anyway, once things return to normal. I think I'll put a Vibram sole on them. In the meantime, the dog says that they look pretty good when we go for walks together.
