A great pair of work shoes ensures that a hard day's work doesn't end with excruciating foot pain. High-quality models made from premium materials are known for their longevity, but they can cost upwards of $300, and if you're trying to find a cheaper one, they're not guaranteed to last. Luckily, Dick's Sporting Goods has an amazing, under-the-radar discount on a popular tough-yet-comfortable Wolverine work boot for nearly $100.

These boots have received a 4-star rating from Dick's after receiving over 130 votes from customers who say they have “excellent comfort” and are “lighter than most” steel toe boots. The Durbin is only available in brown, but there is still a full range available from 8.5 to 14 – for now.

This pair of Wolverine work boots is ASTM F2413-11 MI/75 C/75 EH rated, which means it meets your safety footwear performance laws, can withstand up to 75 foot pounds of impact and 2,500 pounds of pressure, and has an electric shock resistant sole. Made from waterproof nubuck leather and with a breathable lining to help wick away sweat, the soles keep feet firmly in place thanks to multi-directional lug soles. A 6-inch mid-height handle, padded collar, and steel toe construction protect your feet from bumps and scrapes all day long, while a cushioned (and removable) footbed provides all-day comfort during hours of work.
Work boots are typically worn for 10 or more hours at a time, so high performance is a must, but buyers say this pair of Wolverines can easily keep up with them. “Durable, waterproof and comfortable,” said one customer. “I drive a dock truck and have to use a pallet jack to load/unload, so comfort on my feet is important… I recommend buying two at a time to make them last longer.” Another customer agreed, “I bought these boots a month ago and wear them almost every day… By far the most comfortable steel toe work boots I've ever owned.”

Other customers are satisfied with the waterproof leather. “I worked for them for 10 hours and spent most of that time washing dishes at work,” began one customer. “They got wet, but I didn't feel a bit in my socks. The steel toe helps a lot – I've dropped a lot of things on my feet and didn't feel a thing.”
Great work boots are hard to come by – especially at this price point – but Wolverine is a trusted brand for performance and comfort, and that's exactly what the Durbin work boots have. Grab yourself a pair soon, because at just $60, they're likely to sell out.
