Wolverine Launches First Boot in New Assortment of USA-Built Boots with Workshop Wedge
ROCKFORD, Mich., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolverine®, America's leading work boot brand, is announcing a new commitment to American manufacturing with the launch of the Workshop Wedge - the first boot in what is anticipated to be a multiyear assortment of boots designed and built in America.
"We've led the work boot category for more than 140 years, in part, due to our ability to innovate and adapt our products to our consumers' wants and needs," said Mike Maloney, Chief Product Officer for Wolverine World Wide's Work Group. "We've heard our customers loud and clear and know that American-built boots matter to them, particularly in today's economic climate. Finding the right domestic manufacturing partner that meets our standards for performance work boots is a pivotal step for us in bridging this gap."
The Workshop Wedge is the first boot that Wolverine will be manufacturing out of Texas, using both domestic and globally sourced materials. In addition to the USA-built Workshop Wedge, the brand's iconic franchise - The 1000 Mile Collection - is handcrafted in Arkansas. Several other brands in Wolverine World Wide Inc.'s work group portfolio plan to add USA-built styles in the coming years, as well.
Crafted to provide durability, comfort, and timeless All-American style, the Workshop Wedge is made for long hours spent tinkering and toiling in a place sacred to all craftsmen – the workshop. The boot features time-tested Goodyear Welt construction that can be re-soled again and again, providing toughness consumers trust, as well as a PU wedge sole for sturdiness and cushioning. Retailing for $249.95, the boot is available now exclusively at Wolverine.com.
