I’ve worn Wolverine pull on boots for years. As they’ve discontinued certain models I’ve had to move up. I’ve been wanting to try the Wedge sole, being everyone is going back to them like it was 30 years ago. I work mainly in the dirt,mud,snow. Working around Cranes from MN to TX. The more aggressive heeled soles are great in the mud, but walking on steel isn’t as safe being a heel will snag & can trip you. Mainly why I’ve been wanting to try a Wedge sole. I wear a Medium 11, these boots came in fairly snug at the toe. Immediately I mixed up Rubbing Alcohol & water, 70/30 heavy on the alcohol. I used a rag & rubber the toes down good for a minute. The alcohol opens the pores of the leather, you can literally feel the boot start to loosen. Then wore them for about 2hrs in the shop. First day on the job they did great. I was in half dirt & mud. The NE mud stuck to them like a wet feather, but was easy to wipe sole clean. Not quite as spongy on the sole as I expected, but wore really well. I bought these off Amazon as I new my size. Not sure what a wider toe would fit like, but after 2 days, I didn’t notice the snug toe. The leather is thick, but flexes well after it’s started to work in. I bought the non steel toe, as I hate freezing feet in winter, I’ve always worn the composite toe in other models. Some reason they don’t make a composite toe in this model. So yes I have enjoyed them this summer.
