I just pulled the trigger on a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile. $400 is a tough pill to swallow but they have a classic look and will last.
I was going to say the same thing. The Redwing Heritage line (including Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths) can all double as "dress" boots for the most part. Now Redwing workboots definitely have more of a lumberjack look to them. My Merrell Wilderness have a much more pronounced and clunky profile than the Iron Rangers. I love them, but they're pretty serious hiking/mountaineering boots, and I can see a lot of people being turned off by the overstated profile.

I'll be curious to hear how you like your 1000 Miles. By all accounts, it's a great boot.

I love my Iron Rangers.

Here's a nice comparison of the look of Merrell's vs. Iron Rangers.
