THESE ARE MY 3RD. PAIR OF WOLVERINES....STILL HAVE MY OTHER OLDER PAIRS I STILL USE FOR TRACTOR/LAND WORK. THE NEW PAIR I USE FOR REGULAR EVERYDAY WORKBOOTS.....THESE BOOTS ARE THE VERY BEST BOOTS MADE ! THEY CANNOT BE BROKEN, WORN EASILY OR SOLE COME APART.....I URGE ANYONE TO FIND A BETTER, COMFORTABLE OR MORE TOUPHER BOOT......DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'WOLVERINES'.....THEY ARE THE BEST IN MY OPINION.(4727) BOOTS ARE THE ONES I BOUGHT PRIOR....(4707) ARE MY NEW ONES AND THE DIFFERENCE IS THESE NEW ONES HAVE STEEL TOE. I ALSO HAVE 'BATES' BOOTS (DESERT CERTIFIED) WHICH ARE GREAT, BUT WOLVERINES ARE STILL #1. BATES COMPANY ALSO BOUGHT OUT WOLVERINE. THEY TOO KNOW HOW TOUPH WOVERINES ARE !
I am very happy with these boots. I normally wear a size 9.5 wide but that size was not available. So, I did what I normally do when my size isn't available, I ordered a half size larger, size 10 medium width. They started a bit tight, but After a few days of wearing them they have loosened and feel great now. They are very well made great looking and I expect they should last for a very long time.
Steel toeNot to heavyNice looking
Husband bought these for work with metal gates and welding. Ordered his usual size 11 and the boots came in a perfect fit. Three months into heavy wear and work they still have not ripped. Good quality boots.
These are boots well worth the purchase. I needed to buy arch support gel sole insets to be more comfortable . These boots have lasted about nine months wearing them every day for a big guy like me is not half bad for the price. I am planning on buying a the same pair again soon since they are comfortable with the gel soles arch supports that I purchased separately .
Last time I try Wolverine, Can’t get them on at any size
Boots were rubbing my ankle bad right out of the box. I put a piece of mole skin on the inside and solved that problem. Quickly learned they ARE NOT water proof from being out in the snow for a few hours. Since then i haven't been wearing them meaning to put some waterproofing on them. Overall I only have a few weeks of wear but they are comfortable. I used to buy Red Wings boots that were a similar style but they are over $200 and only lasted around a year so if these hold up i'll be very happy for the price.
Very nice boots leather comes already conditioned like them alot will be just fine after a little break in also were offered with payments made it even better
