130-year-old boot company Wolverine comes to Christchurch

Cover your foot claws with Wolverine boots, the iconic US work boot brand with over a century of history, now available at Nevada Sport in Cashel Street and online at its shiny new website built by SOMO Creative.

Way back in 1883, third-generation leather tanner G.A. Krause founded a company in Michigan to produce work boot and leather gloves that were famed for their comfort. Twenty years later, when Krause and his sons were producing around 300 boots a day, the business brought electricity to their home town of Rockford.

Wolverine is still making its iconic 1000 Mile Boot, named because way back in the early 20th Century it was good for a thousand miles of wear. It’s even still made from the original 1914 boot pattern, with a few modern updates on the inside.
