I bought these based on the reputation of Wolverine boots but am sorry to say they do not live up to that reputation.  They are a very snug boot and I'm not a fan of buying boots a size too big.  That being said I purchased a size 12 as they do run large.  For a comparison I wear a 13 in Vans, and most casual and athletic shoes.  I wore them around the house a few days to make sure I liked them.  Though tight I thought I could stand the break in and laced them up ready to take on the day with my new boots.  Unfortunately the lace hook broke off right before I was ready to walk out the door.  They went back in the box and I sent them back for a refund.  I assume this lack of quality is why they were sold for only 99 bucks.
