Wolverine has been manufacturing work boots for over 100 years. Like Timberland, the brand always strives to integrate new technologies into its products. Also part of the Edge LX Nano Toe is the state-of-the-art safety tip that places it among the top ten fifteen most comfortable work shoes on the market.
Wolverine is a renowned brand that does not compromise on the quality of its products. The Edge LX Nano Toe line also features a sturdy structure with a leather upper, a rubber outsole and a nylon inner lining. These offer protection against falling and sharp objects because they are ASTM-rated.
The waterproof nubuck leather holds up well in harsh conditions. However, the textile eyelets and plastic studs for the lacing system may yield if you press too tightly.
Work shoes must have many safety features to protect the wearer in precarious conditions. Nonetheless, these improvements also increase the severity, placing more stress on the shoes on the feet. With nanotechnology, the weight factor decreases significantly. It also makes the toe caps thinner, allowing you to enjoy a wider fit for your toes. A lighter load puts less strain on the legs and lower body area.
The boots also use EPX technology on the footbed to protect against fatigue. In addition, the dual-density attribute ensures that the foot provides great comfort. It’s also detachable so you can choose something that suits you best. The molded EVA and PU midsole also contributes to comfort.
The nylon shaft provides good support for the arches and the EPX honeycomb heel expands and contracts to prevent contact with the ground.
Just like the Timberland PRO series, Wolverine also offers a 30-day comfort warranty for this model!
The CarbonMax safety tip with nanotechnology has made the toe caps more spacious, lighter and thinner. However, these still provide the best protection you need on the risky construction sites.
These are waterproof except for the tongue and laces. Keep water away from these areas, and you’ll stay dry even if you’re running liquid on the floor.
Pros
- Safety toe caps use nanotechnology for a lighter structure
