Walking in a wedge sole boot is sort of like wearing an industrial, safety rated, heavy-duty slipper. There is no gap between heel and toe in the outsole from the additional cushioning, so your foot will seamlessly rock from heel to toe, evenly dispersing your body weight amongst the whole foot as you step. This even weight distribution not only gives your foot a break, but it also helps provide superior traction.

Notoriously comfortable, thanks to their unique ability to combine style and capability, Wolverine wedge sole boots are designed for complete foot support. Even the upper on most Wolverine wedge sole boots 6” upper to ensure the whole foot from toe to shin is completely cradled and supported.

Safety First

Wolverine specializes in making a boot that exceeds safety standards. Not only are most wolverine boots fitted with some kind of safety toe, but a large majority are also anti-slip, water-re sistant, and electrical hazard rated for superior protection. Wedge sole boots, especially Wolverine wedge sole boots, are safer on slick surfaces because more of the outsole makes contact with the ground at once. With more of your foot touching the ground, there’s a higher amount of natural traction, making the wedge sole boot from Wolverine a more slip-resistant boot than one a standard heel.

Great for those who need easy to clean boots!

The wedge sole doesn’t just help with traction; it also creates a tendency where wedge sole boots stay cleaner than other boot brands and varieties. Since there isn’t a separate heel on a wedge sole boot, things like mud, dirt, and debris don’t cling as well to the bottom of a wedge sole boot. Because more of the foot makes contact with the ground at once, causing the weight to be evenly distributed, it is harder for debris to one particular area, or worse, get caught in a crevasse of the shoe.
