Great quality and exceptional comfort
My husband needed new boots for his job, but because we live in a very rural area, we have limited choices. His last pair were a bit cheaper (purchased the big box store), but the liner tore out pretty quickly and while they said they were waterproof, water seeped in through the sole. He was MISERABLE wearing them. Upon a recommendation from a coworker to try Wolverine, he found these on Amazon. We knew they fit the job requirements - but we were a little skiddish about buying shoes online since he's a bit hard to fit. When we saw the generous return policy, we ended up ordering two pair - one in a medium width and one a wide. He was able to try them on and determine which fit him better (the medium) just like shopping in a shoe store. We returned the other pair quickly and easily.We were immediately impressed by the construction and materials - and he said they felt great from day one. He has made the comment several times that they never needed to be "broken in"!He's on his feet for up to 16 hours a day between his job and working on the farm and is often in very wet conditions. He has been wearing these boots daily for over a month and RAVES about them quite often. He continues to tell me how comfortable they are and they stay dry in the wettest weather situations. He says he'll never buy another brand - and with the great service from Amazon, we never have to look for another source.

Quality Control Issues
These shoes would be almost perfect if the quality control were there. Received first pair and tried on and very pleased with the fit. However, once I starter walking there was a very loud "thwuck" every time I stepped on the right foot because the glue on the insole was faulty. Amazon replaced the first pair, and when the second pair arrived, both boots had a defective insole. Will return the second pair as well as I just returned from a trip that I needed steel toed boots for and I had to make do with my Walmart specials that I dislike, but they beat these with respect to quality control (and they have some problems).All in all, seemed to be the perfect boot for my needs but the Wolverine factory & quality control is not up to snuff. Three boots out of four had the problem and you did not need to put the boot on to find it.

American made workboot - good looks with both comfort and protection
My work required me to obtain and wear metatarsal protected steel toed boots to a customer's manufacturing site. I have to admit that I was surprised to see some of the styles of metatarsal boots that are sold on the web. In many cases the metatarsal protection is afforded with the use of an odd-looking flap that folds over the laces. I wanted a traditional boot that would offer protection in a more subtle manner. Wolverine has name recognition in boot manufacturing and the presented image of the boot is exactly the boot that you will get. I found sizing to be right on the money and the provision of wide/extra wide sizes; this should make plenty of consumers happy. To break in the boot before taking it on site, I walked the dog through the neighborhood. While anew boot will always be initially stiff, this Wolverine boot maintains its comfortable and fit. The expected blisters never came. If you are going to buy a boot that you will have for a very long time you are going to want to buy one that looks this good and fits this well.

Amazing
These boots are a amazing. I've had mine for over a decade now. The leather is still in great shape, haven't had a single eyehole break, and the soles still have enormous tread. They're tough!It took a couple of (painful) weeks to break them in, but they fit like a glove ever since. And I'm not kind on boots. I wear boots where boots ought to be worn.The insulation keeps my feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.The only drawback is that they're quite heavy. On the plus side, it means there's nothing coming up under your metatarsals - ever. That extra weight is worth the extra security, like a tank. Builds muscle.
