Wolverine Men's Floorhand Waterproof 6" Work Boot

=== 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.

Comfortable, lightweight, quality materials, and very nice. When new/polished they could pass as dress shoes. Much nicer than in the pictures when it’s actually on the foot. My girlfriend is a fashion Diva and LOVED these on me. Actually asked me to wear them to a semi formal dinner the first night I got them. They ARE NOT steel toe, it doesn’t directly mention if they are or not. Huge plus for me. There is an exact version of these that are steel toe if you need them. Highly recommend these. Might want new insoles if you’re using them as work boots. They’re good, but it’s definitely the cheapest part of the shoe. I got them in sale for $62 shipped with taxes. They feel better than my $250 arait’s. Will be back for more.

Overall, I’m really impressed. Right out of the box, they were comfortable with minimal break-in time. The fit is true to size, and they offer good support for long hours on my feet.The waterproofing works as advertised—I’ve walked through puddles and wet job sites without any issues. The leather feels solid and has held up well to daily wear. The sole has decent traction, though I wouldn’t say it’s the absolute best for extremely slick surfaces.

I'm not in construction, but do wear these when working in the garage, and wear them to work.They are comfortable, and durable enough to save my toes from falling wood (first hand experience), tools etc.For the price I paid, I give them 5 stars.They are boots. Are they Ariat level quality and comfort? No... But they are a fraction of the price.

Great work boots, very comfortable and they are well made. I ordered 10-1/2 probably could’ve ordered a10 , but I always have trouble with shoes even when they say extra wide. But these are a good fit with thick socks. Will definitely buy again if they ever wear out.

"Floorhand" more like office worker or equipment operator! These Boots seem very nice. The leather holds up pretty well, but the soles are complete trash. I believe they were trying to make a lighter weight boot by making a lightweight sole, but by doing so they've made a soft sole where you can feel almost any little Pebble you step on and they wear through much faster than any boot that I've ever owned. Thankfully I bought these on sale and only spent about $60 on them and I still feel like I overpaid. A thicker steel plated insole would help a lot, but it will not help when you wear through the sole on the bottom of the boot within 5-7 months.

My husband has had Wolverine boots in the past. So when he needed a new pair, this brand was an easy decision and we were so happy to find them available in his hard to find 8-1/2M size on Amazon. He had ankle fusion surgery three months ago and needed a boot that would provide extra ankle support while also accommodating an elastic support brace within the boot. These not only fit perfectly true to size, but also ticked all the boxes of meeting his needs, including great sole tread. The quality of workmanship is superior to most other brands. We are thrilled with this outcome and highly recommend these boots.

I still think these are fairly good boots especially for the price, but for them to stop being waterproof is a deal breaker where I work. To be fair, the boots are still in good physical condition, not falling apart at all, but if you need to rely on the waterproofing like I do just be aware it won't last long.
