Had these boots about a year. Had them in all day today. I love these boots.

A bit on the expensive side but well worth it. These boots are sturdy and water resistant. These boots are stiff so you'll have to wear them in.

I went back and forth between this shoe and the Iron Ranger. Finally decided this based on weight, the Wolverine is a bit lighter.
I normally wear an 11 1/2, and based on other reviews I bought this in a 10 1/2. Fits perfectly.
It takes at least 5-7 days of wear before the shoe stops feeling stiff. I kept the laces very loose for the first week or two.
Love the shoes.

The Kilometer is a very well made, high-quality pair of boots. I would compare them favorably to Red Wing Iron Rangers--not better but comparable.
They look great, and after less than one day, they feel good. Once they're fully broken in, these boots will feel like a custom fit.
My feet are slightly wide, but wide sizes feel loose. I returned a pair of Frye Logans that were too narrow. These are perfect.

Literally the greatest boots I've ever worn. I'd size down. I'm normally a 13 I bought a size 12. They take a bit to break in but are very worth it. I'll be buying a second pair.

These are great boots in the end. I did joke about it taking a kilometer to break in the boots. But if you stick with it they're worth it.

So far so good. Had the boots about 2 weeks. I bought them to last and they feel pretty solid. Took about 8 hours of wear before they started to break in and since then have been much more comfortable. Hoping they last. Don't see any issues with construction at this time thought several reviews mentioned having issues a few months into ownership. Will try to update if I run into anything. Very pleased so far.

I wear an 11.5 and the 11 fit well.I did try on a pair of the 1000 Mile boots and while the leather is softer, I prefer the Vibram sole on the KMs to the leather sole of the 1000's. I also think the price is right on the KMs for a solid boot with a great look that doesn't break the bank.

I just received these boots last night. They are constructed of high quality leather. I usually wear a size 11, I tried a size 10 and 10 1/2. The 10 1/2 worker better for me with a little extra room in the toe box. These boots are far from broken in but are as comfortable as could be expected right out of the box.

Excellent quality and great look. They run half size larger, I usually wear 10 in all shoes, I got these in 9.5 an probably could have a whole size smaller since they are roomy.

Good quality, well made, and thick leather. Out of the box they are quite stiff but did break in after three days of wear. I normally wear a 10.5D and that is what I ordered which fits fine for me.

Beautiful pull up leather and supple. Looks nice and feels nice. Though not as high quality as the Wolverine Thousand Miles boots. These are about 100 bucks cheaper though.
At the time that I ordered these there were two brown color listed for this boot at zappos ("brown" and "brown leather"). I ordered both to compare. They are the same (although the color is a tad different on zappos photo). The difference is stack leather on the heel. I believe the "brown leather" is newer and has the modified rubber heel.
I usually wear size 8.5E. These boots run really narrow. I ordered different boots from Red wings, Frye and Wolverine. Regardless of the size these were the narrowest. Size 9D of Wolverine Kilometer was even narrower than 8D from other brands.
Overall not bad. If you can save a bit more money and get the Wolverine thousands miles on sale that worth it.

I wear an 11 usually, and paying attention to other reviews bought a 10 1/2 which fits perfectly. I bought these in January 2016, and am writing this review 9 months later. About the same time I bought a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers, so I can do a little compare and contrast.
The Wolverine break in period is several to 5-6 days before the boots start feeling comfortable.
They look good on the foot, and get a lot of compliments. The Iron Rangers were comfortable right off, but are not nearly as good looking a boot (no compliments). I have been very pleased with the Wolverines in general, except for a disturbing sole separation issue. After normal wear over the last 9 months (worn 3-4 times a week) the sole began to separate at the front of the shoe. I have found other reviewers on other sites that have indicated this has happened to them as well. No idea what percentage, but it's something to be aware of. You may need to get the boot repaired sooner than you expect. The Iron Rangers on the contrary have had absolutely no issues. Still, I really like the Wolverines.

love 'em. Great look, feel very well made. Unfortunately had to return them because they are comically too narrow. I usually wear a 2E or sometimes 4E and these seem like they are only for very narrow feet. In many other brands I can comfortably wear a D width, though. They did have plenty of length though as they are quite long. I wish I could've kept them because they look great but man did they hurt.

I ordered my usual size and found that yes, as others have pointed out, they run large. As I was deciding whether it was really necessary to go up half a size, I made sure the laces were fully tightened. That was when one of the shoelace eyelets, one with a hook near the top, popped out. It didn't inspire confidence. For that reason I decided I wouldn't try a half size down. But I'm still not sure though, because they really are nice looking boots. I just might decide to risk it.

My normal sneaker size is 11. The 10M seemed short in heel space and tight in the top of my foot. The 10.5M was a better all around fit, however, there was way too much toe space in the 10.5 for me. Also, the lack of arch support and padded foot bed made them seem like they wouldn't be comfortable to me so I returned them

This is a great boot - I've been using it daily since it arrived. After a somewhat painful few days to break it in, it feels great and looks great. Why the two star review then? The sole. Though I bought the Kilometer model specifically because of the rubber sole, this is the most slippery shoe I've ever owned. Whenever it's wet outside, it feels like the soles are made of soap. It's a mistake I can't undertand how it was made, on a product that would be great otherwise.

Not comfortable. Felt very stiff, even after wearing around the house for a bit to test them out. Feels like an army boot - not what I wanted. Disappointed, as the quality looks to be very good.
