Wolverine Hellcat UltraSpring CarbonMAX 8" Work Boot Men Tobacco

This is my second pair of Hellcat Ultraspring boots. They feel heavy until you get them on, then the magic happens. Light and springy on concrete. Surefooted and supportive in gravel and rocks. All day 12-13 hours comfort. The leather tends to get scuffed but nothing a little leather balm won't fix. I do notice the 8 inch top more than my other Wolverines but that is to be expected with a taller boot. Probably need to get a black pair.

Timberland quit making my favorite boot. Gridworks safety toe. I tried a different wolverine that failed. It is no longer carried, and they honored their warranty! This was my closest match. I have other boots, but this is far and above my favorite. All other safety toe boots I have feel like they are toe heavy bricks now. I hope the sole is good in snow and ice. I prefer a protective toe cover, but it is wearing very well in all ways. There are very few boots offered in full 8inch height these days. There is ample toe space for the wool socks I wear in winter. Get these.

These boots are amazing, they aren't kidding on the the ultra spring, feels like assisted walking. I'm on concrete and steel all day and they definitely took some of the pain that I get from walking/standing on concrete also keeps my feet warm in the winter, worth every penny!!!!!

I bought this pair of boots in March of this year. Lasted eight days in the field before the rubber stitched part around the toe ripped. I contacted customer service and they refunded my money not questions asked. This is the first time I've used this brand of boot and I'll always use this brand, Wolverine boots and product are great! I love this company and their product. No I'm not an sales men nor work for Wolverine, I'm just a believer if you want a great product and the company stands by their word/product, that's all you ask for.

Construction Inspector/Tree Care This boot has been a pretty good fit so far (1 month) and took some time to wear in, but it has proven useful in some light instances (roadwork) and heavier instances (hillside tree removal). Pros: - leather is holding up, but I condition the leather weekly - safety toe seems strong (it caught a pretty large log without much fuss) - fit is roomy, but feels secure for a big guy like me with wide, flat feet - comfortable during a normal work day, but I will probably buy some better quality insoles down the road Cons - I'm not yet confident in the sole to upper weld as my last pair of Wolverines (not this model) failed before anything else and my feet got soaked in some muddy ground - the fit got painful on steep slopes, especially on the ankle - I had to loosen the laces on the front of my ankle and tighten it higher up to distribute the tension better or it was painful to walk on uneven ground as the front of my ankle was catching the my weight - very uncomfortable to drive in, but I rarely wear them driving except on the job site

So after my first day today in these boots my feet were dying!!! I had to leave the shoelaces really loose just to get through the rest of my day. I am on my feet all day and these just are not gonna work. I know they need to get worked in but my CAT boots weren't this bad.

The boots seemed to be solidly constructed and durable. They were fairly lightweight however I found them to be on the bulky side when ascending stairs. After wearing them for three weeks, the fold in the tongue with the boots laced up, was rubbing my ankle raw. In the pass I've owned 3 pairs of the 8” Buccaneer work boots (which are no longer stocked), none of which required a “break in” period. Fortunately the Hellcat boot was covered under the 30 day comfort guarantee and Wolverine was happy to remedy the situation. Thank you Wolverine for standing by your products and ensure everyone finds the right boots to keep their feet happy!

These boots do not breathe at all, I bought a pair seven months ago and thought maybe it was just that pair, they became rotten inside. Purchased another pair one month ago and they are already rotten inside. I've had wolverine boots for 20 years and never had this experience until now.

I have owned wolverines forthe last couple decades and have always been happy. THAT BEING SAID,THESE ARE HORRID!! I had high hopes as the ones i used to buy are no longer made and i thought these would be a good replacement. NOT EVEN CLOSE!! Cheap insert that doesnt do squat,tread is already peeling back and i havent been using them AT WORK!! Honestly im about ready to throw them out

Bought originally in October of 2021, had to get a replacement pair in March of 2022. Now it's mid July and they're falling apart the same way they did in March. I would think that when I pay $180 for a pair of boots that they should last longer than three and a half months.
