When the cold weather arrives, Wolverine's winter work boots can let you punch back harder. Wolverine provides winter safety boots, winter steel toe boots, and winter work boots with waterproof fabrics and advanced technology like Vibram Arctic Grip outsoles to help you get the job done no matter the circumstances outside. Wolverine was founded in 1905 by George D. Woolfolk as a small boot company that made a few items under the name "Woolfolk" for farmers who needed durable yet affordable footwear. In 1913, Louis W. Wilson joined the company and began developing his own line of shoes while also making products for other brands. In 1920, the two companies merged to create a new entity called Wolverine-Louis W. Wilson Company. In 1962, Wolverine became a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Toyo Kizai Corporation. Today, Wolverine makes a wide variety of clothing and accessories for men, women, and children at prices anyone can afford. The company's iconic brown leather jackets are famous among musicians, actors, and athletes. Also popular are rubber boots, rain coats, tool bags, and luggage. Wolverine even makes dog toys now! Wolverine headquarters is in Oak Lawn, Illinois with offices located in Japan, South Korea, and Spain. The company has approximately 4,000 employees worldwide from a variety of different backgrounds who work together to produce their product lines according to strict quality controls standards.
