Outdoor Retailer/SLC

Wolverine, the 130 years old shoe brand---part of the giant Wolverine Worldwide company--- has seen significant growth this past year---as its workhorse, work and outdoor collections- and the push into the high-end lifestyle category of kicks-with welt stitching, top end leathers and hand finished details---all clearly doing well (lifestyle shoes review in a latter post).

Wolverine delivers weather tough, durable shoes at affordable prices (ranging from about $110-under $200)---and doesn't stint on the performance aspects of the materials either---with a lot of name brand components-as well as proprietary materials-all included.
