AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 9, 1995 NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in 1995. NOTE B - FLUCTUATIONS The Company's sales are seasonal, particularly in its major divisions, Hush Puppies and the Wolverine Footwear Group. Seasonal sales patterns and the fact that the fourth quarter has sixteen or seventeen weeks as compared to twelve weeks in each of the first three quarters cause significant differences in sales and earnings from quarter to quarter. These differences, however, follow a consistent pattern each year. NOTE C - COMMON STOCK On March 10, 1994, the Company announced a 3-for-2 stock split on shares outstanding on March 21, 1994. Also, on April 19, 1995, the Company announced an additional 3-for-2 stock split on shares outstanding on May 1, 1995. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for the increased shares resulting from these stock splits. NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE Primary earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period assuming that the stock splits described in Note C had been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Common stock equivalents (stock options) are included in the computation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share. -6- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISONS OF THIRD QUARTER 1995 TO THIRD QUARTER 1994 Third quarter net sales and other operating income of $100.5 million for 1995 exceeded 1994 levels by $8.6 million (a 9.3% increase), and 1995 year-to-date net sales of $263.1 million compares to $238.0 million recorded for the comparable period of 1994 (a 10.5% increase). The strong performance of the Wolverine Footwear Group continued, accounting for $6.8 million of the quarterly net sales and other operating income increase and $21.5 million of the year-to-date increase. Current year third quarter increases of $3.0 million and year-to-date increases of $4.6 million generated by United States Department of Defense contracts helped offset a $1.3 million third quarter decrease in the Hush Puppies Retail Division, a result of a 1994 decision to downsize the retail operations. Sales in the Hush Puppies Wholesale Division remained flat due to the generally difficult retail environment for apparel and footwear in the United States. The Leather and Tru-Stitch Divisions recognized slight sales increases which are in line with the Company's plan. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales and other operating income for the third quarter of 1995 was 28.6% compared to the prior year level of 29.3%. Year-to-date gross margin of 30.0% for 1995 compares to 30.4% for 1994. Improved margins were recorded in the Wolverine Footwear Group through increased licensing revenues and manufacturing and sourcing efficiencies. The Leather Division continued its strong performance reporting a year-to-date $1.8 million gross margin increase. The increase in gross margin was achieved by significant reductions in fixed costs, a shift in product mix to higher value added products and price adjustments. These improvements were offset by decreases in the Hush Puppies Wholesale and Retail Divisions, resulting from the continued soft retail climate which impacts both initial wholesale margins and retail promotional pricing requirements. Selling and administrative costs totaling $20.0 million (20.0% of net sales) for the third quarter of 1995 remained relatively consistent with the 1994 third quarter levels of $20.2 million (22.0% of net sales). Year-to-date selling and administrative expenses of $60.1 million (22.9% of net sales) in 1995 are comparable to $57.9 million (24.3% of net sales) in 1994. Year-to-date selling, advertising and distribution costs associated with the increased sales volume combined with advertising and promotional investments for Wolverine Brand accounted for $4.3 million of the increase. Offsetting decreases in direct selling costs were reported in the Hush Puppies Retail Division totaling $.9 million, which were due to the strategic repositioning of the Hush Puppies Retail Division. Hush Puppies Wholesale distribution costs have decreased 13% from $3.1 million to $2.7 million, reflecting the implementation of a new incentive wage program designed to reduce costs through increased productivity. -7- Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 1994. Year-to-date interest expense for 1995 and 1994 was $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The 1995 interest expense totals reflect an increase in borrowings outstanding partially offset by reduced senior debt interest rates and average borrowing costs. Increased borrowings were needed to fund working capital requirements associated with sales growth. The effective income tax rates on net earnings from continuing operations decreased on a year-to-date basis in 1995 from 1994 levels (30.6% compared to 32.1%). The effective tax rates reflect the anticipated annualized rate for the Company giving consideration to the non-taxable net earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Net earnings from continuing operations of $5.2 million ($.31 per share) for the twelve weeks ended September 9, 1995 compared favorably to earnings of $3.8 million ($.23 per share) for the respective period of 1994. Year-to-date net earnings from continuing operations of $11.6 million ($.69 per share) in 1995 compared with earnings of $7.6 million ($.47 per share) for the same period of 1994. Increased earnings are primarily a result of the items noted above. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Accounts receivable of $85.6 million at September 9, 1995 reflect an increase of $14.0 million and $14.9 million over the balances at September 10, 1994 and December 31, 1994, respectively. Inventories of $110.4 million at September 9, 1995 reflect an increase of $26.0 million and $31.4 million over the balances at September 10, 1994 and December 31, 1994, respectively. The increases in accounts receivable were directly related to increased volume. Inventories were increased to meet anticipated future demand in both wholesaling and manufacturing. Third quarter order backlogs have increased 25% when compared to 1994, supporting the requirement for increased inventories. Fourth quarter shipments are expected to reduce inventories to levels which will be commensurate with the growth of the Company's wholesale businesses. Other current assets totaling $14.9 million at September 9, 1995 were unchanged from December 31, 1994 levels and is $4.0 million higher than the September 10, 1994 balance. The increases were primarily a result of the current portion of notes receivable from the 1992 disposition of the Brooks operations becoming classified as a current asset. Total interest bearing debt of $83.8 million on September 9, 1995 compares to $67.8 million and $45.2 million at September 10, 1994 and December 31, 1994, respectively. The increase in debt since December 31, 1994 was a result of the seasonal working capital requirements of the Company. The increase over September 10, 1994 was primarily attributable to additional investment in inventories to meet anticipated sales demand in the last quarter of 1995. The -8- Company is currently examining its long term capital requirements. It is expected that continued growth of the Company will require increases in capital funding over the next several years. An expansion of warehousing and administrative facilities is being contemplated and alternatives for meeting these and other of the Company's capital needs are being evaluated. The Company issued $30.0 million of senior debt during the third quarter of 1994 with an interest rate of 7.81%. Proceeds were used to pay $21.4 million of existing 10.4% senior debt and to reduce balances outstanding under a revolving credit facility. Additionally, the long-term revolving debt scheduled to expire in June 1995 was renegotiated during 1994 to provide more favorable terms and conditions and the Company's revolving credit facility was extended through June 1998. The 1995 third quarter dividend declared of $.035 per share of common stock represents a 29.6% increase over the $.027 per share (post split) declared for the third quarter of 1994. The dividend is payable February 1, 1996 to stockholders of record on January 2, 1996. The Company's increased investments in capital improvements have resulted in a $1.3 million increase in depreciation expense for year-to-date 1995 over the same period of 1994. These capital investments reflect the ongoing integration of manufacturing facilities and refurbishment of a corporate office building. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company adopted a formal plan to withdraw from its Lamont's leased shoe department business, which resulted in a charge to 1994 fourth quarter earnings of $1.2 million. This plan was completed as of July 15, 1995. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K. (a) EXHIBITS.

to be a Plan for a select group of management and highly compensated
employees of Wolverine and affiliates of Wolverine.  This Plan is
intended to be a Plan described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and
401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA").  As a supplemental nonqualified executive
retirement program it is not subject to limitations in the Internal

     "Employer" and "Company" mean Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and any
affiliate of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. which has adopted this Plan
with the consent of Wolverine World Wide, Inc.

1.3  RABBI TRUST.

     This Plan may be funded by contributions to a "Rabbi" trust
which does not alter the "unfunded," nonqualified status of the Plan
for federal tax purposes.

1.4  EFFECTIVE DATE.

     The "Effective Date" of this Plan is  , 1995.  Each Plan
provision applies until the effective date of an amendment of that
provision.









                          ARTICLE 2

                         DEFINITIONS


2.1  EMPLOYEE.

2.3  PLAN YEAR.

     "Plan Year" means the 12-month period beginning each January 1.

2.4  PRESENT VALUE.

married on the date the benefit is scheduled to be paid, or payment

     "Surviving Spouse" means the Spouse of the Participant at the
time of the Participant's death who survives the Participant.  If

                          ARTICLE 3

                         PARTICIPANT

3.1  DESIGNATION AS PARTICIPANT.

     Only management and highly compensated Employees shall be
eligible to participate in this Plan.

     Wolverine shall designate eligible Employees who shall become
participants ("Participant").  The designation shall be made in
writing, and shall become effective when both the Employer and the
Employee have signed a Participation Agreement in the form attached
as Exhibit "A."  A designated eligible Employee shall become a
Participant on the date specified in the Participation Agreement.

3.2  INACTIVE PARTICIPANT STATUS.

     The Administrator may notify an Employee Participant in writing
at any time that the Participant is being converted to Inactive
Participant status.  An Employee Participant will not accrue
additional Years of Service under this Plan after the date of such
notice, unless the Participant is subsequently designated as a
Participant under Section 3.1.

                    CONTRIBUTIONS/FUNDING


4.1  AMOUNT.

     The Employer is not required to make contributions to fund the
benefits under this Plan.  The Employer may make contributions
sufficient to prevent an unfunded liability from adversely affecting
financial disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles and to provide reasonable anticipated benefits under this
Plan.  Employees shall not make any contributions under this
Agreement.

4.2  NO RELATIONSHIP TO BENEFITS.

     The benefits provided by this Agreement shall be separate from
and unrelated to any contributions made by Employer (including but
not limited to assets held in a trust created under Article IX of
this Plan, if any).

4.3  UNFUNDED PLAN.

     This shall be an unfunded Plan within the meaning of ERISA and
the Code.  Benefits payable under this Plan constitute only an
unsecured contractual promise to pay in accordance with the terms of
this Plan by the Employer.

     A Participant shall be an unsecured general creditor of the
Employer as to the payment of any benefit under this Plan.  The
right of any Participant or Beneficiary to be paid the amount
promised in this Plan shall be no greater than the right of any
other general, unsecured creditor of the Employer.














                       -4-


                          ARTICLE 5

                     AMOUNT OF BENEFITS

5.1  RETIREMENT BENEFITS.

     A Participant who has 5 Years of Service after the earlier of
execution of a Participation Agreement under this Plan or a Deferred
Compensation Agreement, or who has reached age 65 before Retiring,
will be entitled to a benefit computed under this Section, unless
the benefit is forfeited under Article 6.  For purposes of this
Article 5, the terms "Retiring" or "Retire" shall include any
termination of the Participant's status as an Employee of the
Employer.

     (a)  ANNUAL BENEFIT.  The "Annual Benefit" under this Plan will
be an amount computed by multiplying that percentage of the
Participant's Average Earnings which is designated in the
Participation Agreement ("Designated Percentage") by the
Participant's Years of Service.  If the Participant elects pre-age
65 payment, the Annual Benefit shall be reduced as provided in
5.1(b) below.  Then the Annual Benefit shall be reduced by the
Participant's Annual Pension Benefit (as defined in 5.1(c) below).

         (i)  EARNINGS.  "Earnings" means Earnings as computed
     under the Pension Plan, excluding:

              (A) LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN. Any amounts paid to
         the Participant under the Wolverine Executive Long Term
         Incentive (Three Year) Plan or any comparable long-term
         bonus Plan, and

              (B)  SEVERANCE PAYMENTS.  Any payments to the
         Participant under any severance agreement or policy.

         (ii)  AVERAGE EARNINGS.  "Average Earnings" means the
     average of a Participant's Earnings for the Participant's
     four consecutive highest earnings years of the most recent
     ten complete Years of Service  immediately prior to the
     date on which the Participant Retires, except that Years of
     Service during which a Participant receives a disability
     benefit under Section 5.3 of this Plan will be omitted from
     the calculation of Average Earnings if doing so will
     produce higher Average Earnings.

         (iii)  YEARS OF SERVICE.  "Years of Service" means a
     Participant's Years of Service under the Pension Plan,
     except that:  (i)  periods during which a Participant is
     receiving a disability benefit under Section 5.3 of this
     Plan will count as Years of Service for computation of any

                       -5-
     benefit under this Plan other than a disability benefit,
     and will not count as Years of Service for computation of a
     disability benefit; (ii) periods during which a Participant
     is an Inactive Participant (as defined in Section 3.2) will
     not count as Years of Service under this Plan; and (iii)
     the maximum number of Years of Service used in computing a
     benefit under this Plan shall be 25.

     (b)  BEFORE AGE 65.  The benefit payable to a Participant who
Retires before reaching age 65 will be the benefit computed under
(a) above, beginning on the first day of the month following the
Participants 65th birthday.  A Participant who has 10 or more Years
of Service may elect to begin receiving a reduced benefit beginning
on the first day of any month after the Participant attains age 55.
If the Participant begins receiving a benefit between age 60 and 65,
the reduction shall be .1666% for each month between the date
benefits begin and the first day of the month following that in
which the Participant would attain age 65.  If the Participant
begins receiving benefits between age 55 and 60, there shall be an
additional reduction of .333% for each month between the date
benefits begin and the first day of the month following that in
which the Participant would attain age 60.

     (c)  ANNUAL PENSION BENEFIT.  A Participant's "Annual Pension
Benefit" shall mean the amount of benefit actually payable to the
Participant under the Pension Plan in the form of a life annuity,
prior to any offset for workers compensation payments.

5.2  DEATH.

     A death benefit shall be payable only under this section.

     (a)  BEFORE COMMENCEMENT OF BENEFITS.  If a Participant dies
before beginning to receive benefits under Section 5.1 or 5.4, the
Participant's Beneficiary will be paid a lump sum death benefit
without regard to the 5-year service or minimum age requirements of
Section 5.1.  The death benefit shall be equal to the Present Value
of the benefit computed under Section 5.1 as if the Participant had
Retired on the date of death, had begun receiving benefits at age
65, and had continued to receive benefits for the remainder of the
Participant's life expectancy.  If the Participant has received a
Disability benefit under Section 5.3, the lump sum death benefit
under this subsection will be reduced by the actuarial value of
benefits received under Section 5.3.

     (b)  AFTER RETIRING.  If a Participant dies after beginning to
receive benefit payments under Section 5.1, benefits shall cease
unless the Participant was receiving benefits in the form of a 50%
Joint and Survivor Annuity, or in any of the forms set forth in
subsections 7.2(b) through (d).

                       -6-
5.3  DISABILITY.

     A Participant (other than an Inactive Participant) who becomes
Disabled while employed by the Employer shall receive the benefit
provided by this section.

     (a)  DISABLED DEFINED.  A Participant is Disabled if the
Participant has a physical or mental condition that entitles the
Participant to a disability benefit under the Pension Plan.

     (b)  BENEFIT IF PARTICIPANT BECOMES DISABLED BEFORE RETIRING.
If a Participant becomes Disabled before Retiring, and is not an
Inactive Participant at the time of application for a benefit under
this Section 5.3, the Participant will receive a disability benefit,
without regard to the 5-year service or minimum age requirement of
Section 5.1.  The benefit will equal 60% of the benefit computed
under (a) above, based on Years of Service up to the date the
Participant became Disabled.  This benefit will continue until the
earliest of the date of Participant's death, the date Participant
reaches age 65 or the date as of which the Participant is no longer
Disabled.  Each benefit payment under this subparagraph (b) shall be
reduced by any benefit for the same period payable under any
employer funded disability plan; no reduction shall be made for
benefits from a disability plan funded by the employer either
directly or through a written salary reduction agreement or program.

5.4  MINIMUM BENEFIT.

     (a)  DIFFERENCE - ADDITIONAL BENEFIT.  This Section 5.4 shall
apply to Participants who are party to a Deferred Compensation
Agreement which is designated in the Participation Agreement as
eligible for the minimum benefit calculation in this Section 5.4.
As of the first date on which such a Participant begins receiving a
benefit under this Plan, or as of the date a Participant's
Beneficiary becomes entitled to a lump sum payment under this Plan,
the Administrator will compare the projected total benefits to be
paid to or on behalf of such Participant under this Plan and the
current Pension Plan to the total benefits which would have been
paid to or on behalf of such Participant if the Deferred
Compensation Agreement had remained in effect, and the Participant
had been eligible for an Annual Pension Benefit under the Pension
Plan benefit formula in effect on December 31, 1994.  If the
Administrator determines that the total payments to or on behalf of
the Participant under this Plan (before any reduction for the
Participant's Annual Pension Benefit) would be less than the sum of:

         (i)  the total payments which would have been made to
     or on behalf of the Participant under the Deferred
     Compensation Agreement; and


                       -7-
         (ii)  the Participant's Annual Pension Benefit computed
     using the Pension Plan benefit formula in effect on
     December 31, 1994;

then the difference will be paid to the Participant as an additional
monthly amount under the form of payment elected by the Participant,
or, if a lump sum payment is being made, the difference will be
added to the lump sum payment.

     The Administrator will again make the comparison provided for by
this subsection as of the date when all benefits cease under this
Plan, and if additional amounts would be due under the formula set
forth above, the Administrator shall cause a lump sum payment to be
made to the Participant's designated beneficiary or estate.

     (b)  DETERMINATIONS.  In making this determination, the
Administrator shall compute Deferred Compensation Agreement benefits
under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement, except that:

         (i)  for purposes of computing a lump-sum benefit for
     which the Participant would have been eligible under the
     Deferred Compensation Agreement due to termination of his
     employment after a Change in Control, the terms "Change in
     Control," "Cause," "Disability," "total disability/totally
     disabled," "Retirement," "Notice of Termination," and "Date
     of Termination" as used in any such Deferred Compensation
     Agreement shall be defined as provided in Article 10 of
     this Plan; and

         (ii)  the Designated Period, as defined in Section 10.2
     shall be used in determining whether the Participant would
     have been entitled to accelerated vesting under the
     Deferred Compensation Agreement, rather than the 5-year
     period provided for in the Deferred Compensation Agreement;
     and

        (iii)  the person entitled to receive the benefit will
     be determined under this Plan without regard to any former
     designation of beneficiary under the Deferred Compensation
     Agreement.

         In making the benefit comparison under this Section, the
Administrator shall use the actual dates on which a Participant
Retires, dies, or is determined to have become Disabled, and in
making the projection called for the Administrator shall assume that
the Participant and the Participant's Spouse will remain living for
their respective life expectancies.  If the dates on which benefits
would have been paid under the Deferred Compensation Agreement
differ from the dates on which benefits are actually paid under this
Plan, the Administrator will make the determination called for by

                       -8-
this Section based on the Present Value of both streams of payments
as of the date payments begin under this Plan.

                          ARTICLE 6

                         FORFEITURE

6.1  MISCONDUCT.

     Subject to Article 10, a Participant (or Participant's Spouse or
Beneficiary) will not be entitled to any benefits under this
Agreement if the Participant is discharged for dishonesty,
commission of a misdemeanor or felony injurious to the Employer, or
any action inimical to the interests of the Employer, or the
Participant resigns while an investigation is ongoing to determine
whether Participant should be discharged for any such reason and the
Administrator determines that Participant would have been so
discharged but for the resignation; or

6.2  COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY.

     A Participant (or such Participant's Spouse or Beneficiary)
shall not be entitled to any benefit payment if, prior to the date
on which such benefit payment is due, the Participant has acquired
any ownership interest in a competing business (other than an
ownership interest consisting of less than 5% of a class of publicly
traded securities), or has been employed as director, officer,
employee, consultant, adviser, partner or owner of a competing
business.  A "competing business" includes any business which is
substantially similar to the whole or any part of the business
conducted by the Employer.

6.3 INSURANCE RELATED.

     A Participant (or such Participant's Spouse or Beneficiary)
shall not be entitled to any benefit payment if benefits are not
payable under any policy of life or disability insurance obtained by
the Employer to fund its obligations under this Plan, due to the
Participant's suicide or the Participant's misrepresentation or
omission of information required to be furnished to the insurer in
connection with the issuance of such policy.













                      -10-
                          ARTICLE 7

                     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

7.1  EVENT OF DISTRIBUTION.

     Benefit payments shall begin following termination of
Participant's employment at the time and in the manner specified in
this Article.  Subject to Article 10, a transfer of employment among
the Company and its subsidiaries is not a termination of employment,
nor (subject to Article 10) shall a Participant's employment be
deemed terminated if Participant is offered employment by a
successor which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company and who adopts this Plan.

7.2  FORM OF PAYMENT.

     (a)  PRESUMED METHOD.  A Disability Benefit shall be paid in the
form of a life annuity.  Unless a Participant elects otherwise, a
Retirement Benefit shall be paid in the form of a Joint and 50%
Survivor Annuity to a married Participant, or in the form of a Life
Annuity to any other Participant in lieu of the normal form of
payment.  A Participant may elect any of the following actuarially
equivalent optional forms for a Retirement Benefit with the consent
of the Company by notifying the Administrator in writing before the
end of the calendar year preceding that in which the Participant
begins receiving a benefit.

     (b)  5 OR 10-YEAR CERTAIN AND LIFE.  A monthly amount for life
to the Participant, and if the Participant dies before payment of 60
or 120 monthly benefit payments, the same monthly amount shall be
paid to the Participant's Beneficiary until a total of 60/120
monthly payments have been made.

     (c)  JOINT AND 100% SPOUSE ANNUITY.  A monthly amount to the
Participant for the Participant's lifetime and in an equal monthly
amount to the Participant's Surviving Spouse, if any, for life.

     (d)  LUMP SUM.  A single sum, if the Participant irrevocably
elects a lump-sum payment before benefits begin, or if a death
benefit is payable under Section 5.2(a).  The amount of the lump sum
shall be the actuarially equivalent Present Value of the
Participant's benefit payable under this Plan, at the "Normal
Retirement Date" as that term is defined under the Pension Plan.

     (e)  $3,500 OR LESS.  If the actuarially equivalent Present
Value of the benefit payable under (a), (b), (c) or (d) does not
exceed $3,500, the Participant or Surviving Spouse shall be paid a
lump sum.  The amount of the lump sum shall be determined in the
same manner as (d) above.

                      -11-
7.3  CALCULATION.

     All benefit calculations shall be made as of the date the
Participant's employment terminates or, if later, upon occurrence of
the event which triggers payment of the benefit.  Each form of
benefit payment shall be actuarially equivalent to a life annuity
and shall be based upon the actuarial assumptions and factors
applicable in the Pension Plan in effect on the date the
Participant's employment terminates.

7.4  TIME OF PAYMENT - RETIREMENT.

     (a)  AT OR AFTER AGE 65.  Retirement benefits under this Plan
shall begin on the first day of the later of the month following
that in which the Participant attains age 65, or that in which the
Participant Retires.

     (b)  AGE 55 TO 65.   A Participant who wishes to receive a
benefit provided by Section 5.1(b) may elect to do so, with the
consent of the Company, by notifying the Administrator in writing.
Such notice must be given, if at all, prior to the beginning of the
calendar year in which Participant begins receiving a benefit.  The
benefit will begin on the first day of the month designated in such
election.

     (c)  LUMP SUM.  Any lump-sum benefit payable under Section
7.2(d) or (e) shall be paid on March 1 following the end of the
calendar year in which the Participant's employment terminates, or
the Participant dies.

     (d)  DELAYED PAYMENT.  If the payment of benefits begins after
the time specified for payment above, the benefit shall be adjusted
for late payment in the same manner as under the Pension Plan (as in
effect on the date the Participant's employment terminates).

7.5  TIME OF PAYMENT - DEATH.

     Benefits shall cease upon a Participant's death unless continued
under this section.

     (a)  SPOUSE.  If a benefit is payable as a Joint and 50/100%
Spouse Annuity and the married Participant dies, payment shall
continue to the Participant's Surviving Spouse until the Spouse's
death.

     (b)  PAYMENT TO BENEFICIARY.  If a benefit is payable as a 5 or
10-Year Certain and Life annuity and the Participant dies prior to
payment of all amounts due under this Plan, payment of all remaining
benefits shall be made to the Participant's Beneficiary.


                      -12-
     (c)  BENEFICIARY.  "Beneficiary" means the individual, trust or
other entity designated by the Participant to receive any benefits
payable under this Plan after the Participant's death.  A
Participant may designate or change a Beneficiary by filing a signed
designation with the Administrator in the form approved by the
Administrator.  The Participant's Will is not effective for this
purpose.  If a designation has not been properly completed and filed
with the Administrator or is ineffective for any other reason, the
Beneficiary shall be the Participant's Surviving Spouse.
Designation of a Beneficiary shall not in itself serve to revoke an
actual election of a Joint and Survivor Annuity method of payment
(or a deemed election under Section 7.2(a)).

     (d)  PAYMENT TO ESTATE.  If there is not an effective
designation and the Beneficiary/Participant does not have a
Surviving Spouse, the remaining benefits, if any, shall be paid to
the Participant's estate.  If payment is to be made to the estate of
a Participant, payment shall be made in a lump sum.

     (e)  WITHHOLDING TAXES.  The Employer may withhold from all
payments due to Participant (or his/her beneficiary or estate)
hereunder all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or
other law, the Employer is required to withhold therefrom.

     (f)  GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX.  The Employer may
withhold any benefits payable to a Beneficiary as a result of the
death of a Participant or any other Beneficiary until it can be
determined whether a generation-skipping transfer tax, as defined in
Chapter 13 of the Code, or any substitute provision therefor, is
payable and the amount of generation-skipping transfer tax,
including interest, that is due.  If a tax is payable, the benefits
otherwise payable shall be reduced in an actuarially equivalent
amount to reflect the payment of the generation-skipping transfer
tax and interest.  Any benefits withheld shall begin or resume as
soon as there is a final determination of the applicable generation-
skipping transfer tax and interest.

                         ARTICLE 10

              SPECIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT


10.1 BENEFIT.

     If a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated
during the Designated Period after a Change in Control other than by
reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan, the Participant shall be paid, within
30 days following such termination and in lieu of any other benefit
to which Participant, Participant's Spouse, or Participant's
Beneficiary might have been entitled at any time under this Plan or
under any Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Change in Control
Benefit.  The Change in Control Benefit shall be the greater of:

     (a)  STANDARD BENEFIT.  A lump sum equal to 125% of the Present
Value of the payments for which Participant would have been eligible
beginning at age 55 (or at Participant's age on the date the
employment terminates, if greater than 55), without reduction for
the early retirement factor set forth in Section 5.1(b), based on
Participant's Years of Service as of the date Participant's
employment terminates; or

     (b)  MINIMUM BENEFIT.  The Minimum Benefit provided in Section
5.4.

10.2  DEFINITIONS.

     As used in this Article 10, the following terms shall have the
respective meanings set forth below:

     (a)  "Cause" means (1) the willful and continued failure by
Participant to substantially perform his or her duties with Company
and/or its subsidiaries (other than any such failure resulting from
Participant's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, or any
such actual or anticipated failure resulting from Participant's
termination for Good Reason) after a demand for substantial
performance is delivered to Participant by the Board and/or its
Chairman (which demand shall specifically identify the manner in
which the Board and/or its Chairman believes that Participant has
not substantially performed his or her duties); or (2) the willful
engaging by Participant in gross misconduct materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company and/or its subsidiaries. For
purposes of this Section, no act or failure to act on the part of
Participant shall be considered "willful" unless done or omitted to
be done by Participant not in good faith and without reasonable
belief that his or her action(s) or omission(s) was in the best
interests of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding

                      -18-
the foregoing, Participant shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until the Company provides
Participant with a copy of a resolution adopted by an affirmative
vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose
(after reasonable notice to Participant and an opportunity for
Participant, with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding
that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Participant has been
guilty of conduct set forth in (1) or (2) above, setting forth the
particulars in detail.  A determination of Cause by the Board shall
not be binding upon or entitled to deference by any finder of fact
in the event of a dispute, it being the intent of the parties that
such finder of fact shall make an independent determination of
whether the termination was for "Cause" as defined in (1) and (2)
above.

     (b)  "Change in Control" means:

         (1)  the acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (a
     "Person"), including any "person" within the meaning of
     Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of beneficial ownership
     within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange
     Act, of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of
     common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common
     Stock") or (ii) the combined voting power of the then
     outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally
     in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting
     Securities"); provided, however, that the following acquisitions
     shall not constitute a Change in Control: (a) any acquisition by
     the Company, (b) any acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or
     related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
     corporation controlled by the Company, (c) any acquisition by
     any corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger, or
     consolidation involving the Company, if, immediately after such
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation, each of the conditions
     described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of subsection (3) of
     this Section 10.2(b) shall be satisfied, or (d) any acquisition
     by the Participant or any group of persons including the
     Participant; and provided further that, for purposes of clause
     (a), if any Person (other than the Company or any employee
     benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
     Company or any corporation controlled by the Company) shall
     become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Outstanding
     Company Common Stock or 20% or more of the Outstanding Company
     Voting Securities by reason of an acquisition by the Company and
     such Person shall, after such acquisition by the Company, become
     the beneficial owner of any additional shares of the Outstanding
     Company Common Stock or any additional Outstanding Voting
     Securities and such beneficial ownership is publicly announced,

                      -19-
     such additional beneficial ownership shall constitute a Change
     in Control;

         (2)  individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
     Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute
     at least a majority of such Board; provided, however, that any
     individual who becomes a director of the Company subsequent to
     the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by
     the Company's stockholders, was approved by the vote of at least
     three-quarters of the directors then comprising the Incumbent
     Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy
     statement of the Company in which such person is named as a
     nominee for director, without objection to such nomination)
     shall be deemed to have been a member of the Incumbent Board;
     and provided further, that no individual who was initially
     elected as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or
     threatened election contest, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-
     11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any
     other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
     by or on behalf of any Person other than the Board, shall be
     deemed to have been a member of the Incumbent Board;

         (3)  approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation unless, in any such
     case, immediately after such reorganization, merger, or
     consolidation, (i) more than 50% of the then outstanding shares
     of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation and more than 50% of
     the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of
     such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
     directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
     all or substantially all of the individuals or entities who were
     the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company
     Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities
     immediately prior or such reorganization, merger, or
     consolidation and in substantially the same proportions relative
     to each other as their ownership, immediately prior to such
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation, of the Outstanding
     Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting
     Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (other than the
     Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored
     or maintained by the Company or the corporation resulting from
     such reorganization, merger, or consolidation (or any
     corporation controlled by the Company), or any Person which
     beneficially owned, immediately prior to such reorganization,
     merger, or consolidation, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of
     the Outstanding Company Common Stock or the Outstanding Company
     Voting Securities, as the case may be) beneficially owns,
     directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the then outstanding
     shares of common stock of such corporation or 20% or more of the

                      -20-
     combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of such
     corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
     directors, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the
     board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation were members of the
     Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
     agreement or action of the Board providing for such
     reorganization, merger, or consolidation; or

         (4)  approval by the stockholders of the Company of (i) a
     plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or
     (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
     of the assets of the Company other than to a corporation with
     respect to which, immediately after such sale or other
     disposition, (a) more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of
     common stock thereof and more than 50% of the combined voting
     power of the then outstanding securities thereof entitled to
     vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially
     owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of
     the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners,
     respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the
     Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
     sale or other disposition and in substantially the same
     proportions relative to each other as their ownership,
     immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of the
     Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company
     Voting Securities, as the case may be, (b) no Person (other than
     the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust)

     Outstanding Company Common Stock or the Outstanding Company
     Voting Securities, as the case may be) beneficially owns,
     directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the then outstanding

     voting power of the then outstanding securities thereof entitled
     to vote generally in the election of directors and (c) at least

     members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of
     the initial agreement or action of the Board providing for such

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, if Participant's employment is terminated prior to a
Change in Control and Participant reasonably demonstrates that such
termination was at the request of  or in response to a third party
who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated

Good Reason made by Participant shall be conclusive; provided,
however, that an isolated and insubstantial action taken in good
faith and which is remedied by the Company and/or its subsidiaries
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof given by
Participant shall not constitute Good Reason.  Any event or
condition described in this subsection (g)(1) through (10) which

extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Participant's employment under the provision so indicated, and
(3) specifies the termination date.  The failure by Participant or
the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance
which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not
waive any right of Participant or the Company hereunder or preclude
Participant or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance
in enforcing Participant's or the Company's rights hereunder.

10.3  METHOD OF PAYMENT.

of any insurance policy or policies purchased by the Company in

10.4  SUCCESSOR OBLIGATIONS IN CHANGE OF CONTROL SITUATION.

     (a)  Neither this Plan nor any Participation Agreement shall be
terminated by any merger or consolidation of the Company whereby the
Company is or is not the surviving or resulting corporation or as a
result of any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company.  In the event of any such merger, consolidation, or
transfer of assets, the provisions of this Plan and of such
Participation Agreements shall be binding upon the surviving or
resulting corporation or the person or entity to which such assets
are transferred.

     (b)  The Company agrees that concurrently with any merger,
consolidation or transfer of assets referred to in paragraph (a) of
this Section 10.4, it will cause any successor or transferee
unconditionally to assume, by written instrument delivered to each
Participant (or his/her beneficiary or estate), all of the
obligations of the Company hereunder.  Failure of the Company to
obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such
merger, consolidation or transfer of assets shall constitute Good
Reason hereunder.  For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the
date on which any such merger, consolidation, or transfer becomes
effective shall be deemed the date Good Reason occurs, and shall be
the Date of Termination if requested by Executive.

10.5  REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.

     If any contest or dispute shall arise under this Plan or any
Participation Agreement involving a Participant's entitlement to a
benefit under Section 10.1, the Company shall reimburse Participant,
on a current basis, for all legal fees and expenses, if any,

                      -25-
incurred by Participant in connection with such contest or dispute
regardless of the result thereof.

                         ARTICLE 11

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1  AMENDMENT; TERMINATION.

     Wolverine World Wide, Inc. may amend this Plan prospectively or
retroactively, or to terminate this Plan, provided that an amendment
or termination may not reduce or revoke the accrued benefits of any
Participant who is already entitled as of the date of such amendment
or termination to a benefit under Section 5.1 of this Plan,
regardless of whether payment of such benefit has commenced.  Upon
termination of this Plan, such accrued benefits of affected
Participants shall become nonforfeitable and shall be distributed in
accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

11.2  EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.

     This Plan shall not be construed to create a contract of
employment between the Employer and any Participant or to otherwise
confer upon a Participant or other person a legal right to
continuation of employment or any rights other than those specified
herein.  This Plan shall not limit or affect the right of the
Employer to discharge or retire a Participant.

     This Plan does not constitute a contract on the part of the
Employer to employ Employee until age 65 or to continue his
employment for any given period of time, either fixed or contingent.
Moreover, Employee does not by this writing agree to continue in the
employment of the Employer for any specified interval of time.  The
employment relationship, therefore, shall continue for so long as,
but only for so long as, such employment is mutually satisfactory to
both parties.  The Employer does not promise that Employee's
employment will be continued for such interval as to enable Employee
to obtain all or any part of the benefits under this Agreement.

11.3  CONFIDENTIALITY AND RELATIONSHIP.

     Each Participant shall agree to refrain from divulging any
information of a confidential nature including, but not restricted
to, trade secrets, operating methods, the names of the Employer's
customers and suppliers and the relations of the Employer with such
customers and suppliers, or other confidential information; and to
refrain from using or permitting the use of such information or
confidences by any interests competitive with the Employer;
irrespective of whether or not Participant is then employed by the
Employer, and to refrain from including, and from causing
inducements to be made to, the Employer's employees to terminate
employment with the Employer or undertake employment with its
competitors.  The obligations herein assumed by Participant shall

                      -27-
endure whether or not the remaining promises by either party remain
to be performed or shall be only partially performed.

11.4  RIGHTS NOT ASSIGNABLE.

     Except for designation of a Beneficiary, benefits payable under
this Plan shall not be subject to assignment, conveyance, transfer,
anticipation, pledge, alienation, sale, encumbrance, or charge,
whether voluntary or involuntary, by the Participant (or any Spouse
or Beneficiary of the Participant), even if directed under a
qualified domestic relations order or other divorce order.  A
benefit payable under this Plan shall not be used as collateral or
security for a debt or be subject to garnishment, execution,
assignment, levy, or to another form of judicial or administrative
process or to the claim of a creditor through legal process or
otherwise.  An attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer,
assign, pledge, encumber, charge, or to otherwise dispose of
benefits payable, before actual receipt of the benefits, or a right
to receive benefits, shall be void and shall not be recognized.

11.5  CONSTRUCTION.

     The singular includes the plural, and the plural includes the
singular, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary.
Capitalized terms (except those at the beginning of a sentence or
part of a heading) have the meaning specified in this Plan.  If a
capitalized term is not defined in this Plan, the term shall have,
for purposes of this Plan, the stated definitions of those terms in
the Wolverine Retirement Income Plan as amended from time to time.

11.6  GOVERNING LAW.

     To the extent not preempted by applicable federal law, this Plan
shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of
Michigan.
