Michigan-based footwear company Wolverine, best known for their durable work boots for more and 135 year history, has launched a line of made in the U.S.A. work boots. Starting today, 100 percent of the proceeds from a limited edition version of the Ramparts, made with Chicago's Horween leather, will benefit Workshops for Warriors, a Veterans organization.

Workshops for Warriors is a nonprofit that provides quality hands-on training and STEM education programs to help veterans find career options in advanced manufacturing. With the launch of the Ramparts collection, Wolverine and Workshops for Warriors have joined forces to support the trades and rebuild American manufacturing.

"We're proud to offer a boot built for American workers by American workers," said Andrew Shripka, vice president of marketing for Wolverine, in a statement. "Having this made-in-America boot benefit an organization whose mission is to rebuild American manufacturing and support our veterans is a great way for Wolverine and our customers to say thank you to our veterans as they enter this next chapter of their careers."

"It's an honor to partner with Wolverine on this initiative," said Hernán Luis y Prado, founder and CEO of Workshops for Warriors, in a statement. "We commend Wolverine for their support of our program. Every day, Workshops for Warriors changes lives by training, certifying and placing veterans into advanced manufacturing careers."

The Ramparts collection also features 6-inch, 8-inch and pull-on built-in-America work boots in three different colors. As part of Wolverine's ongoing commitment to Workshops for Warriors, 5 percent of all proceeds from the sale of all Ramparts styles on wolverine.com will be donated to Workshops for Warriors through the end of 2019.
