Review of Wolverine Men's Amherst Composite-Toe EH Trail Running Shoes

Customer Ratings:

These were purchased for my fiancee who has to wear protective shoes on her job. They are nice and lightweight compared to anything else she has had. The last pair she had lasted over a year, which is a long time for the use she puts them under. She also wears them as casual shoes occasionally.

My son is very active on his feet. We typically by Walmart-type shoes for him because he is so hard on them and wears them out in about 2-3 months. We happened on these (in the wrong size) at a clearance sale in a local boot store. We bought them because they were 1) cheap, 2) Wolverine, 3) steel-toed. He wore them and they proved to be near indestrcutable (pardon the exaggeration.) His only complaint was, of course, the fit was wrong so I ordered them from Amazon in the right size and he loves them. I will probably get a pair myself. As a firefighter they meet safety standards around the station and will be more comfortable and lighter than boots.

My review of the seller, ELITE HERO:

Five stars. Fast shipment. Good communication; EH sent a follow-up email to determine if my purchase was satisfactory. How often does that happen? I shop on Amazon frequently, and this is the first time (in my memory) that I've been contacted by a seller.

My review of the product, Wolverine Men's Amherst Composite-Toe EH Trail Running Shoes:

My reasons for purchasing this shoe:

1. My past experience with the brand Wolverine has been positive. I bought a pair of Wolverine work boots 5&1/2 years ago, and they are still useable. They are beat-up, covered in paint splatter, laminate adhesive over-spray and grass stains, but the tread is still mostly intact. The uppers have not separated from the tread.

2. The composite safety toe; I'm all done with steel toe footwear. Steel radiates cold in the winter, carbon fiber does not, and the weight of cf is lighter.

3. Great price compared to other shoes in this catagory.

As for the new Wolverine shoes; I've worn them now for 7 days of work. I work as a courier 5 days a week, 10 hours a day. I jump in and out of a truck 50 or more times a day, so the shoes are going to experience a lot of abuse. So far the shoes have been very comfortable, the size is accurate, and they are better looking in person than in the pictures online. The gunmetal gray webbing is closer to black (which I prefer).

The one negative thing I can say about this shoe is concerning a part of the tread. The rear outside corner of the tread has a triangular section (1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1") with small parallel "grips"; each about 3/32"w x 3/32"h x 1-1/2" long. I'd say about a third of the length of these "grips" on the outside portion of the triangle have already shorn off (on both shoes). I hope that this is not a sign of things to come. I'm not a foot-dragger, and whenever I jump out of the cab, I land on my toes. The rest of the tread looks as good as new.

As for longevity; only time will tell. I hope these shoes have at least half the life of my last pair of Wolverines. The last two pairs of safety shoes I owned were complete garbage. One pair of Converse lasted 8 months, and one pair of Golden Retrievers lasted 6 (with most of the GR's tread worn down by 3 months). Both shoes suffered tread/upper separation.

Honest reviews on Wolverine Men's Amherst Composite-Toe EH Trail Running Shoes

I bought these for work (of course) I like the style and look of the shoe. I didnt want a traditional looking steel toe and thats what I got. They look way better in person than in the picture. I bought mine a half a size bigger at 10 1/2 in order to account for feet swelling and so I can put an arch support in them. When I first wore them I was ok then later on they started to pinch my toe. Luckily, we got snow here and when I got snow on them and got them wet it accelerated the breaking in process because now they are as comfortable as my sneakers. Love the shoe, very comfortable cushion, made me a fan of Wolverine shoes. I suggest if you dont know your size to go try on a pair at a retailer to make sure, thats what I did.

They were very nice and light weight for steel toe's seemed like they would breath quite a bit unfortunately they were to big and had to return them if there was a smaller size I would have reordered them.
