About Wolverine

Wolverine is the work boot brand the company is named after, made in Michigan since 1883 and originally supplied to farmers and factory workers. Its 1000 Mile boot, reintroduced from a 1914 design, is built on a Goodyear welt so it can be resoled repeatedly, and the brand anchors the group's Work reporting segment.
