WolverineMen’s Floorhand Waterproof 6” Work Boot
T**D
Happy with their longevity, and back for more
=== ADDITIONAL & NEW INFO, FROM 2021-10-15 ===The newest 3 pictures were added with this text today, as I have ordered & just received a new pair of these boots.I was able to wear my old pair of these boots through 3 full winters. It is nearly 3 years since I first purchased them to the DAY (2018-10-21 vs 2021-10-15) and I continue to be very pleased with their construction.These boots easily surpassed my expectations for longevity, and have without a single doubt become my favorite winter/work boot.If your shoes fall apart really fast because you drop stuff on your feet at work all the time, consider that may be the fault of your work environment, and not your boots.If your shoes fall apart after a season because the leather has dried and cracks apart, consider that you should be maintaining them. They have 100% leather uppers, being subjected to moisture, pressure, and friction a daily basis — they'll dry, crack, and wear out if you don't take at least SOME care of them!!I gave these boots what I would consider the bare minimum of upkeep. I brushed off street salt when there was so much that I could see it built up. I applied leather lotion at the beginning of winter-weather season, when I start wearing these every single day, and also at the end of winter-weather season, before they get put on my shoe rack for use on rainy days only.I've walked almost certainly well over a thousand miles in my old pair, and I'm certain I'll get that sort of longevity out of the new ones. Heck, the old boots' leather uppers are still pliable and watertight — the worn-out sole is the only reason I need new boots, and the soles of all shoes wear out, that's just a fact of life.I will say, fresh out of the box, I think the new boots' leather may be a bit dry. I'll be putting leather lotion on them and that should knock that problem out.Overall verdict: These are great boots. They're so great that if it wasn't for how hot the summers get where I am, I'd wear them for the summers, too. I'd absolutely buy them again — and in fact, I literally just did.=== ORIGINAL REVIEW TEXT, FROM 2021-03-09 ===I'm now past two years of owning these boots (bought them 2018-10-21, it is now 2021-03-09). I bought a half-size down from my size in athletic sneakers and they fit great. I've got feet that tend to be flat and end up aching without good arch support, so I replaced the insoles with some Dr. Scholl's extra-arch-support inserts. If you have flatter feet, I'd highly recommend doing the same.I'll say I don't work in a warehouse environment and don't drop heavy stuff on my feet literally every day, but they seem great to me, and have stood up to their fair share of occasional drops and the harsh weather treatment. Especially compared to the single-winter's lifespan I got out of other work boots I've bought before, which had their soles peel off, not even damage to the upper body construction of the boots.My commute to work includes a mile of walking at a minimum, depending on if I bum rides home from my buddies, frequently including more walking around the campus I work on. I also often stand at my desk at work.These have proven, with the arch-support insert I added anyway, to be quite comfortable, and the fact that I still wear them over two years later is a testament to a durable construction.A far sight more durable than some of the reviews I see where they somehow fall apart in short order. I don't know what sort of work you'd have to be doing in these to have them fail in a matter of months. Considering how I've mostly neglected regular care for these boots while I've had them, I can only describe these boots failing in a matter of months as a sign of far-harsher-than-average use, or a bad-luck-of-the-draw defective pair.If you don't tend to burn through shoes like your fallen branches and leaves at a campfire, I think you'll find these are wonderfully durable, especially for the price.I wear mine daily as soon as shorts weather ends, all winter long, as well as on particularly rainy days during the rest of the year.I've recently had to replace the laces since I tie my boots really tight and they were starting to wear out, but other than that, applying leather lotion twice a year, towards the end and beginning of winter, has kept these in great shape for me. That, and the occasional brushing off of the salt accumulation, when there's absolute tons of it caked on the sides of the boots.The treatment these boots get in the winter is pretty harsh considering they're leather, getting road and sidewalk salt on them, walking through snow and mush (since being able to do that was the whole point of buying waterproof slip resistant boots..), walking over sheets of ice, etc.They've done a great job of keeping my feet dry, and my rear off the ground.Assuming Wolverine hasn't completely changed how they're constructing these boots, and there aren't counterfeits of them floating around (you'd be surprised what some Amazon sellers and suppliers try to get away with), I'd buy these again with absolute confidence.They've now carried me through two full years. I paid $90 after tax for them back in 2018, and I'd pay that for them again if I were needing a new pair now. It looks like they're cheaper than that now, though, and I'd highly recommend them for the price.

Excellent product for the cost
On my third pair of these now. They last me 13-16 months in all conditions, surfaces, and temperatures, but mostly on concrete 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. The waterproofing is solid, and lasts for a good long while, but does deteriorate over time. The factory insoles are not great, that's probably my biggest criticism. Other than that, they break in pretty quickly and are pretty comfortable to wear all day, especially with an after market insole. They're cool enough for summer, but warm enough for winter, to a point obviously. These aren't bought for appearance, but look good with the right jeans. For the price, you can't beat 'em. Buying $200-300 boots just to beat the snot out of them is for the birds. These could probably last me even longer if I oiled the leather, and maybe even could be a candidate for retreading, because the inside of the boot holds up pretty well.

Excellent boot but...
You're going to need to swap out the insoles with some Dr. Scholls or a similar product. Once you do, you'll have a really comfortable, virtually bombproof work boot!The pair I received are well made and look like they're going to hold up for awhile. I use them to work in a kitchen (unlike another reviewer, I've had no issues with traction- they are oil and slip resistant with great treads) and to ride my motorcycle.Without the gel inserts to replace the paper thin soles that come in the boot, my feet (heels and arch) would ache and my toes would hurt from walking on the rigid sole of the boot. After replacing them, I even wear these boots for normal daily errands.Note that, like Caterpillar, these boots run a .5 to 1 size large. I wear a 12 in sneakers, have a size 11.5 foot, and the 11s fit me just right.In short, these boots are inexpensive, seem sturdy, look great, and (most importantly) should do a decent job protecting your feet if something goes wrong.

Great boot!
I spent 4 times as much on a pair of Red Wing boots, and they only lasted about 6 months before starting to fall apart. This boot is made of durable leather, and the fit is perfect. I have a very high arch, high instep, and very wide feet, so I was concerned about the fit, especially since I wear orthotic arch supports in all my shoes. I usually have to order boots 2 sizes larger than my foot length just to get them to fit comfortably, but I ordered these only 1 size larger and I could not be more happy with the fit, even with my orthotics in them!I've had these boots for about a month now, and so far they have proven very durable and comfortable.

BEST BOOT I'VE EVER OWNED
As a landscaper/lawncare worker, I walk 3-5 miles a day, 5 days a week. I have used nearly ever brand of boot/shot on the market because of my colapsing arch. Knowing boots don't last long, I don't like putting a pile of money in footwear. Anyone that does, IMO, does so so they can wear it as a badge of honor. Again, my opinion. I buy boots to work. I bought a pair of these wolverine floorhand boots 5.5 years ago and I'm still wearing them. I'm writing this review now because I just discovered, 3-2--24 @1:48 pm that the sole of my left shoe is wearing to the point I'm either going to resole or replace them, I haven't decided yet. They are SUPER comfortable but BE WARNED....if you're flatfooted or even semi flat-footed like myself, have a good orthotic to install on top of the factory insole and you're be GOLD. For the price, these boots CAN NOT BE BEAT.

Great boots
Durable. Last me about 2 years in a trucking job that involves a lot of deliveries. Comfortable the first time you put them on

Wolverine work boots
Purchased Wolverine 6" Floorhand workboots. They were shipped and they arrived as promised. I was very pleased with the price as I found these during the Black Friday - Cyber Monday sales event. Tremendous savings. These boots fit just as I had expected and are comfortable right out of the box. Very well built, heavy duty, and they look better than most of the other comparable brands. I am very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you.

Die Boots sind komfortabel und sehen gut aus.Die Solen sind griffig und die Schnürsenkel halten(gehen nicht so schnell von alleine auf).
