The Wolverine boot company no longer makes Wolverine boots-boarhide.

I recently wrote the Wolverine boot company to ask about Wolverine boots-boarhide and they told me they no longer make boots using this leather. Customer service said, “It has been a few years since we have offered footwear constructed from boar’s hide leather. This naturally breathable leather type became cost prohibitive as it must be sourced from South America.”

I also asked them what they might recommend that would be similar and they said, “Unfortunately, neither pigskin nor cowhide leather offer similar properties to boar’s hide. This leather type is naturally perforated and extremely durable. In order to offer a recommendation of a suitable performer, we should begin with your specific occupation/use and your requirements.” Made sense to me.

I really appreciated Wolverine’s custom service response and thoughtfulness. A lot of companies nowadays don’t even respond to an email. They just can’t be bothered but this boot company did. So I plan to still buy boots from them no matter what the leather type is. I feel it’s wise to support good companies through the purchase of their products.

If you are still looking for Wolverine boars hide boots, you might find a pair on Ebay or some old stock on Amazon. There are also some boot manufacturers that use this leather but these are unknown companies to me. Therefore I can’t recommend them because I don’t know a thing about their quality.
