I was looking into work boots to do stuff around the yard and house and walk the dog when the weather is not nice. Im sick of wearing trail running shoes or old sneakers which get ratty and wet and smelly.

The Wolverine Raider does the job very well so far. I got this real cheap on ebay for $49, which was a fluke - the seller immediately went off line after he shipped my boots directly from Wolverine. I don't know why. I won't ask.

Anyway my boots are the steel toed version. I am a size 10 and initially they felt big especially in my left foot; all I had to do is lace them up just a little tighter and everything is great. I may want to wear a thicker athletic type sock with this boot if walking over a longer distance.

I have had this boot for a few days and I love wearing them. I even tested the Durashock capability of the boot - When I stomp on the ground I hardly feel it.

Get these boots! I wouldnt hesitate looking at the Wolverine brand in the future for any footwear needs they may accomodate (work, hiking...)
