Use these for work and really give them a workout using them outside a lot. I usually wear out these cardboard shoes within a year. To my surprise after a year later, these shoes, while they do show some wear, still are intact and fit great. Will buy another pair before they stop making them.
Second pair. Only reason I purchased new ones is because I tend to wear the sole at an angle and my knees start hurting. New one solved the hurting. Very durable shoes.
Great working shoe all the way around is just lacking a bit more support on the insole for long days at work 8hr.great 12 the.days not so much.
I love these shoes. I have other wolverine boots that are great but get hot in the summer. These shoes help keep your feet cool and still provide protection. These shoes fit about a half size big so if you wear a 12 normally consider a 11.5. I work in construction and have put these shoes through just about everything in the last month and they are still looking good and feeling comfortable.
Great shoe ! Have bought it multiple times.
The shoe is nice and I have been a wolverine fan for years but on the first day I wore these the shoestring loop broke away and I have a sit down job so this should've never happened and thes fit smaller than normal size you will need to get at least a whole size larger for comfort.
Great made shoe but they are very tght and uncomfortable but if i had of known they was steel toe i would have gotten them in a bigger size.
have been buying wolverine boots since 1987 six inch tall had to switch to the low cut shoe to keep boots from putting preasure on back of leg causing discomfort drive a commercial truck these shoes are very comfortable light weight highly recomend as for durrabilty have only had for a week
