Many color and sizes available in Cap Toe, Chelsea and Pull-On. Hard to find a better deal on true GYW (Goodyear Welt) Mens Boots. Wolverine designed this line to compete with Thursday Boots, both made in Leon, Guanajuato/Mexico. They run big, so order .5-1 full size down (.5 down for wider feet,1 for narrow/regular). Are these as good as Wolverine "1000 Mile" boots or Red Wind Iron Rangers, absolutely not. But would be hard pressed to find a better quality boot at this price. From what I understand, Wolverine has discontinued this line so get them while you can. This is probably the last of 'em. (Thursday's marketing is hard to compete with).

I love the men's chelsea boots. More than my Thursday boots.
(They fit me more comfortably. They also have a better looking lug sole chelsea boot imo)
After buying my first pair, I stalked the page for a month until my size in black finally came in.
I hope Wolverine eventually launches a new line BLVD, but maybe by a different name to boost marketing of them or something.
I also own a pair of their BLVD Low sneakers too. They're really well made.

My take:
The leather is good, the soles seem good. I replace the insoles of all my shoes with arch support ones, which work well in these. The original insole looks good, but I didn't use them at all.
The hooks suck and the laces always come off. The eyelets had small abrasions on them from the crimping so the laces got shredded. I replaced the laces, started getting shredded again so I filed them down - which you can't see or feel the imperfections so it's all guesswork.
These come with fashionable, thin waxed coated laces. If you buy the thick woven laces they fit the hooks better (but the hooks still suck).
So I'm $70 + cost of replacement laces (2 pair) in on these things, after like 4 or 5 months.
These are not $200 boots. They are worth the deal price only.
First off, the sizing and fit of these are terrible. They're longer than most boots, but super tight at the top. Very uncomfortable. You have to go at least half size smaller than regular boots, and a size and half than sneakers. So for example, if you wear a 9 in boots, you'll probably need a 8.5 or even an 8.
The leather also creases badly and it shows, especially in the tan. Leather feels like synthetic.
