Wolverine
I chose batch 4 because I have 1, 2, and 3. When Wolverine was partnered with the Mike Rowe Foundation, the proceeds went to trade schools to help get someone through school and into a career. (I'm not confident there is that partnership this year) I have been happy with my first three pairs of boots and felt these will be just as good.
I guessed I would fit in a 10. I have Redwing 10.5s, and they are too long. With Wolverine's batch 2 (I bought batch 2 before getting my hands on batch 1), I bought 10 in hopes they would fit. It's still a tad longer than I'd truly like but perfect width. I bought another pair on eBay 9.5s, and they were way too tight. So with some trial and error, I found my happy place in size 10.
I ordered them as soon as the boots became available. The first 100 pairs received Rip Van Winkle coasters.
