Wolverine Work Boots: A Review of Work Boots by Wolverine
Custom Search
Wolverine work boots have been manufactured since 1883, making them one of the oldest makers of work shoes and boots in the United States. The company makes boots for outdoor use, hunting and, of course, work.
Their focus is on steel-toed boots designed for the heavy-duty workplace. But, are they safe? Are they worth the money? And, most importantly, are they comfortable? For a full review of Wolverine's work and safety boots, keep reading.
Cost of Wolverine's
For Wolverine work boots, expect to pay between $120 and $190, with their basic, beige work boot retailing for just over $100. However, because they're such a popular brand, you can often find them on sale at stores like Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Mark's Work Warehouse and other retailers of work wear and safety boots.
For high-quality, steel-toed boots, these are reasonable prices and comparable to other, similar brands.
Comfort and Fit
Wolverine boots are available in ankle height, 6-inch and 9-inch styles with a range of fits, sizes and toe safety ratings. The company makes 5 different kinds of comfort levels ranging from the MultiShox, a shoe designed for heavy vibration workplaces to their Wolverine Durashocks, a boot made for concrete or hard surface workplaces.
The company also sells lightweight safety models, a huge relief for those tired of wearing heavy boots.
Overall, the boots come in such a wide range of fits that most buyers can find a work boot that is comfortable and fits them well. The one major drawback is the brand offers a minimal number of boots that are designed specifically for women - meaning women either have to choose a smaller men's boot or look to other brands that are beginning to cater to this growing market.
Quality and Durability
Wolverine boots are known for their durability - they're designed for work and made to take a beating. Most styles are completely waterproof and made for heavy-duty use. Most owners should expect their Wolverine boots to last for years, only needing to be replaced once the soles wear down.
Style and Design
Again, Wolverine safety boots come in a range of styles - from boots that resemble professional-casual office shoes to your basic, traditional work boot. The company has made great strides in offering safety boots and shoes that fit a wide range of styles and work place environments.
Conclusion
Wolverine work boots are great - if you're a man. The company simply doesn't have the range and selection available yet for female consumers.
