A great pair of work boots ensures that a hard day on the job isn’t spent in hours of agonizing foot pain. High-quality models with premium materials are known for longevity, but they can cost upward of $300, and when you try to find something cheaper, they’re not guaranteed to last long. Thankfully, Dick’s Sporting Goods has a shocking under-the-radar discount on a popular pair of tough but comfortable Wolverine work boots, and they’re nearly $100 off.
Wolverine’s Durbin 6-Inch Waterproof Steel-Toe Work Boots are only $60 at Dick’s Sporting Goods right now—a 61% discount on the normal $155 price tag. These boots have earned a 4-star rating at Dick’s after more than 130 votes from shoppers who say they provide “excellent comfort” and “lighter than most” steel-toe boots. The Durbin is only available in brown, but there’s still a full selection of sizes from 8.5 to 14 available—for now.
Wolverine Durbin 6-Inch Waterproof Steel-Toe Work Boots in Brown, $50 (was $155) at Dick’s Sporting Goods
This pair of Wolverine work boots is rated ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 EH, which means it’s compliant with protective footwear performance laws, can resist impacts up to 75 foot-pounds and compression up to 2,500 pounds, and is built with electrical shock-resistant soles. They’re made from waterproof nubuck leather and have a breathable lining to help expel sweat while the outsoles keep feet planted firmly thanks to a multi-directional lug sole. The 6-inch mid-height shaft, padded collar, and steel-toe construction help keep feet protected from bumps and scrapes throughout the day while the cushioned (and removable) insoles provide all-day comfort through hours of work.
Work boots are typically worn for 10 or more hours at a time, so great performance is mandatory, but shoppers say this pair of Wolverines can easily keep up with them. “Durable, waterproof, and comfortable,” one shopper said. “I drive a box truck and have to load/unload with a pallet jack, so comfort on my feet is important…I recommend buying two at a time so they last longer.” Another shopper agreed, saying, “I bought these boots a month ago and wear them almost every day…By far, the most comfortable steel-toe work boots I have ever owned.”
Other shoppers have been pleased with the waterproof leather. “I worked a 10-hour day in them and spent most of that time washing various things at work,” a shopper began. “They got soaked, but I didn’t feel a drop on my socks. The steel toe helps so much—I’ve dropped many things on my feet already and haven’t felt a thing.”
Great work boots are hard to come by—especially at this price—but Wolverine is a trusted brand for both performance and comfort and that’s exactly what’s baked into the Durbin work boot. Make sure to pick up a pair for yourself soon, because at just $60, they’re likely to sell out.
