If rugged durability is the name of the game, then the right pair of the best boots for men goes a long way in cementing your outfit as both functional and even a touch fashionable (at least, when it comes to dependable fall style, something we love here on this Brooklyn menswear blog).

And while you’ve perhaps got seasonal style options aplenty these days as far as the best men’s boots are concerned, you’d do well to opt for a pair from a bootmaker you can trust — a bootmaker like Wolverine, legendary makers of some of the most reliable footwear for the job site, the dive bar, the rock concert and beyond.

In fact, Wolverine men’s boots are a personal favorite of this writer, blending ultra-comfortable footwear technology with rugged good looks for the season at hand. I’m willing to bet you know boot styles like the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots quite well — this writer has been wearing that style and writing Wolverine boot reviews for more than a decade.

But let’s dive a little deeper and explore an unheralded but no less sturdy, reliable and stylish set of shoes for fall, winter and beyond via the Wolverine Floorhand Boots (available in both a moc toe and plain toe variety, each as dependable and hard-working as the last).

In my book, the Wolverine Floorhand Boots are an expertly crafted change of pace from the ordinary, fusing four-eyelet construction with speed hook lacing and a reinforced upper and heel collar. They’re crafted from premium full-grain leather throughout, while a mesh lining within offers comfort and job site-ready breathability.

Wolverine’s technology is excellent as far as comfort and support is concerned, from the EVA midsole to full-cushioned footbeds that mold to your feet over time.

If you ask me, it seems that the famed Michigan bootmaker designed these boots to function as well in the garage as they might when worn more casually (say, with black jeans and a waxed cotton jacket as you visit your favorite dive bar for a cold can of beer — save one for me, will ya?).

The Wolverine Floorhand Boots also manage not to skimp on style points: Classic Black is part of the Wolverine lineup, as is a steely Grey and even a rich shade of Olive, each as ready to wear with tobacco-hued chinos as with brown corduroy trousers for a refined-yet-rugged change of pace.

But if you ask me, the handsome and highly performance-minded Wolverine Floorhand Boots are perhaps most at home with expertly faded denim or canvas work pants — when on the clock and in the garage, or else when paired up with a cozy flannel shirt, cold beer in hand. Cheers to the season and cheers to your new favorite pair of boots, my friends.
