Wolverine Floorhand Waterproof 6" Work Boot Men

I got by with a cheap pair of waterproof boots for years and decided no more. These are very comfortable. I did decide to get the wide width for a little extra room, and put a foam insole under the Wolverine one for a little more cushion. I hesitate saying they "run large," but I did size down 1/2 size based on my experience with a pair of Wolverine Chelsea's (normal width) I have. When I put them side-by-side with my Dr. Martens size 9, these 8 1/2's look about the same size, maybe slightly larger. So, they are slightly larger in my experience (I normally wear a size 9 sneaker). Unfortunately, everyone's foot is different, so you won't know until you try them on. They don't have a ton of arch support, so if you need that you will need to add your own insole of choice. Definitely recommend getting some balsam to treat and soften the leather.

This will my second pair of Wolverines. The last pair I had lasted 2 years, yardwork, construction projects. The new pair needs to be broken in a bit but I think that will happen fairly quickly. These ran a bit large. I ordered an 8 1/2 regular, and I had to return for an 8. Even those seem a bit roomy. The exchange process was easy online through Wolverine.
