Wolverine often comes up short in their quality. These boots are comfortable for 2 to 4 hours if you by a decent insole as they don't come with any cushion. The toe cover appears to be a tough rubber material but is instead a cheep vinyl imitation cloth. The upper boot lace hooks are a good idea but these are next to impossible to get the laces to pop into their grove. Over all this is a sub-marginal quality boot with a price that exceeds the quality. Think of these as good disposable work boots, good for a few small jobs then toss then out with the trash. Thanks, just a construction Pro putting in my 2 cents.
