Let me tell you about these Wolverine Floorhand boots – they've been my trusty sidekick through mud, rain, and everything in between. The waterproof full-grain leather isn't just marketing speak; I've literally stood in 3-inch puddles for hours with dry socks. That slip-resistant outsole? It's saved me from more than one embarrassing tumble on slick construction sites.

What surprised me most was how lightweight they feel despite their ruggedness. After 12-hour shifts, my feet aren't screaming for mercy like they did in other boots. The rounded toe box gives my toes room to breathe – no more cramped pinky toes by lunchtime.

Now, they're not perfect. The sizing runs about half a size large (I learned that the hard way), and the stock insoles might as well be cardboard. But toss in some good inserts and you've got yourself a boot that can handle demolition sites, lumber yards, or just mucking out the barn.

After two years of abuse that would kill lesser boots, mine are still holding strong – no separating soles or major failures. Though fair warning: one reviewer had lining issues after a month, so your mileage may vary. For the price though? These wellingtons deliver where it counts.
