Why We Love the Men’s Wolverine Moc-Toe 6" Work Boot
, by Ed Stone, 4 min reading time
A wedge sole boot that’s designed with all-day comfort in mind, it’s perfect for long days at the job site. Even if you’re taking client meetings at the office, the rich leather and classic moc-toe styling won’t look out of place. Plus, it goes great with a pair of dark denim jeans for a night out.
The versatility of the Men’s Wolverine Moc-Toe 6” Work Boot makes it one of the best-value work boots that you’ll find on the market. Let’s take a closer look at why it’s a best-seller.
1. It’s Made by Wolverine
Wolverine has been making boots in the U.S. for over 130 years. Wolverine Boots helped generations of Americans build this country by providing comfortable, durable work boots that stand up to the toughest conditions.
Many of our favorite boots are made by Wolverine. The Men’s Wolverine Moc-Toe 6” Work Boot is one of their timeless designs: no frills, just solid American design and styling.
2. It Ages Like Fine Wine
The Men’s Wolverine Moc-Toe 6” Work Boot is one of those quality boots that gets better with age. The leather gets suppler and the upper molds to your feet.
On top of that, this wedge work boot is constructed with trusted Goodyear® welt design, meaning you can replace the sole instead of buying a brand new boot that needs to be broken in. Its handcrafted, quality construction helps the boot stay structurally sound and sturdy and delivers old world craftsmanship that’s well worth the investment.
While you’re at it, you can swap out the insole to suit your needs. That’s the advantage of this classic design: it starts out good and it gets even better down the line.
3. It Feels Good
If you’re going to wear a work boot for 16 hours, it has to be comfortable. Beneath the classic styling of this 6-inch work boot are some of the most comfortable materials and design elements.
First of all, the genuine leather upper is soft and easy to move around in, with very little break-in time. Wolverine also included a padded collar and tongue to surround your feet with even more comfort. Throw on the right socks and rub a little mink oil into the leather, and you’ll have a breathable, comfortable boot to get you through the seasons to come.
Then, there’s the blown polyurethane wedge sole—its design is one of the most comfortable boot soles you can get because it feels like a sneaker. Plus, the magic of polyurethane means it’s light and bouncy while remaining extremely slip-resistant with much longer wear than the typical blown rubber or EVA soles.
4. It’s One Handsome Boot
We know you probably don’t choose your work boots based on style alone. Still, this boot has classic styling that everyone will appreciate.
The soft, genuine full-grain leather uppers say manly, but with a softer side. White stitching makes the moc-toe pop. The 6-inch work boot height is the perfect balance between a standard shoe and a taller boot, making it versatile for use in various work conditions. And it’s all anchored by a solid-looking but light-as-a-feather polyurethane wedge sole.
Very few boots can be described as both timeless and timely, but this wedge work boot is one of them.
