Detailed Review
The Wolverine Men's Floorhand Waterproof Insulated 8" Boot excels in several categories that matter most to workers. In terms of comfort, the cushioned footbed and moisture-wicking properties make it a standout choice, especially for those who spend extended hours on their feet. The durability of the waterproof full-grain leather ensures it can handle challenging job sites without compromising on performance.
When looking at safety, the ASTM-rated steel toe provides critical protection against heavy objects, making it ideal for construction or warehouse environments. Additionally, the insulation allows for use in colder temperatures without discomfort.
However, be prepared for potential break-in time. While this boot offers many advantages, some users have noted that it might feel stiff initially. Furthermore, its calf-high style may not appeal to everyone, particularly those who prefer shorter boot styles.

User Reviews
Hubby always wore wolverine’s (purchased at mom & pop shop in our area, which has now closed) and they seem to be getting harder to find in this particular style. Sturdy, durable, comfortable boot. Definitely would recommend.
I bought these boots in December of 2023 and I have worn them consistently since then, it is now February the 5th 2024. These are the worst boots I've ever had in my working experience. They are half a size too small, there's not enough cushion in the soles, they don't keep your feet warm, and they are not wide enough. Wolverine boots should be ashamed of themselves for putting their name on these boots. They literally hurt my feet all day long. It's pathetic. I work at a kaolin mine and I'm on my feet all day. I have tried to like them, but they are not a good pair of boots in my opinion and experience. I would NOT recommend these.
Boots are great! Fit nice. Appear that they will hold up through winter. Only negative..Aspect. I ORDERED NO STEEL TOES. I returned the first pair in hopes the second pair would be correct. Marked on return not what was ordered. To no avail..again sent Steel toes.. Now, there are Steel toes to order, but my order showed NOTHING at all of being a Steel toe. Assumption: other orders showed Steel toe.. these did not..yet Steel toes came in order anyhow. So, I suggest, unless you WANT Steel toes, great! If you do want Steel toes .. then do not order these..i believe you will receive steel toes. Great boot if you prefer a Steel Toe!I didn't feel like another return and get the 3rd pair of Steel toes..we kept them. Pleasemark your sales accordingly.Nice boots though.
Boots are very heavy and only a cold weather boot feet sweat in them! Also recently found out they are not waterproof

Great product, no issues
If the first day is telling me anything, it's that these are not waterproof.
I bought these boots a month and a half ago and now that I had to use them shoveling snow, they are not waterproof
