Half of the point of boots like this is the soles can be replaced when they wear down without replacing the entire shoe.
$0.279 per mile. Your number is off by 100x.
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Although true, still doesn't change the fact that the wear on these are faster than expected. I didn't buy these boots thinking I'm going to have to pay $150 every 2 years to get them resoled.
The replacement sole wearing every 2 years is no longer a Wolverine issue, correct?

Also, Vibram soles are universal. They dont make the Vibram sole.

If you have the leather sole and it wears too fast for your environment, the Vibram might be what you're looking for.

And yes you can go with a thicker sole that will last longer, but it loses some the visual appeal these have.

Oh so boots with replaceable soles are supposed to wear faster than boots without replaceable soles? Interesting

I wasn't aware it was an issue to begin with. (Going to start researching)

I agree with all you've said.

Or they're getting substandard sole replacements (I prefer Vibram). Maybe try Origin boots?

I've had these in black for several years got them very cheap, but they are not the most comfortable shoes, inserts will make them more wearable……

I've had these for 12 years or so and they still look and feel brand new. I have them in brown and am considering a black pair.

At this price point you're better off with Redwing Iron Ranger… have had a pair for over 10 years and hold up great.

I'd even say Thursdays are a much better buy at this price point. Wolverine quality has gone way down IMO. Yes it's a good deal on 1000 mile boots but there are better boots at a similar price or even lower.

Keen makes a pair of of work style Chelseas that come in wide widths. Outside of that I'd highly suggest to take a glance at Australian/NZ boot manufacturers. They make some of the best boots on the planet.

Different boots for different purposes in my opinion. Iron Rangers are more of a heavy duty work boot, weighty and durable. The 1000 miles are not that AT ALL, the leather sole makes them more of a dress/fashion boot. Theyre more at home in an office building where as the Iron Rangers are more at home on a farm.

I have a pair and think they run a bit wide. Maybe give them a shot if returns are free. I like mine quite a bit.
