Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer of footwear, apparel and accessories. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates ® , Cat ® , Chaco ® , Harley-Davidson ® , Hush Puppies ® , HyTest ® , Keds ® , Merrell ® , Saucony ® , Sebago ® , Sperry ® , Stride Rite ® and Wolverine ® . Third-party distributors, licensees and joint ventures extend the global reach of the Company’s brand portfolio. The Company also operates a consumer-direct division that markets both its own brands and branded footwear and apparel from other manufacturers, as well as a leathers division that markets Wolverine Performance Leathers™ . Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s fiscal 2015 Form 10-K. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated through licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or shipment of branded products by licensees and distributors. Retail store revenue is recognized at time of sale. The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or less than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound freight charges and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Seasonality The Company’s business is subject to seasonal influences and the Company’s fiscal year has 12 weeks in each of the first three fiscal quarters and, depending on the fiscal calendar, 16 or 17 weeks in the fourth fiscal quarter. Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in recent years.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that have been adopted by the Company during fiscal 2016. The following is a summary of the effect of adoption of these new standards. Standard Description Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period Requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Did not have, nor does the Company believe it will have, a material impact on its existing stock-based compensation plans. ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern Requires that an entity’s management evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Did not have a significant impact on its quarterly reporting process. ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements Requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the debt. Allows an entity to present debt issuance costs associated with a revolving line of credit arrangement as an asset, regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. Does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. Resulted in the reclassification of $10.2 million and $11.0 million of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s long-term debt from deferred financing costs to long-term debt as of January 2, 2016 and September 12, 2015, respectively. In accordance with ASU 2015-15, the Company elected to continue to present its debt issuance costs related to its revolving line of credit as an asset. Due to the adoption of this standard, these deferred financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets. The prior period disclosures have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. The new standards did not affect the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments Provides guidance for how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. Did not have, nor does the Company believe it will have, a material impact on its existing cash flows presentation. The FASB has issued the following ASUs that have not yet been adopted by the Company. The following is a summary of the planned adoption period and anticipated impact of adopting these new standards. Standard Description Planned Period of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended by ASUs 2015-04, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12) The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also amends the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Q1 2018 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standards on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures. Standard Description Planned Period of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory Requires that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This ASU does not apply to inventory measured using last-in, first-out. Q1 2017 The Company does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Enhances the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial statements. Q1 2018 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02, Leases The core principle is that a lessee shall recognize a lease asset and lease liability in its statement of financial position. A lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Q1 2019 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its existing leases. ASU 2016-05, Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships Clarifies that the novation of a derivative contract (i.e., a change in the counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. Q1 2017 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its accounting for derivatives. ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting Seeks to provide simplification to issues of share-based payment awards in relation to income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. Q1 2017 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its share-based payment accounting. ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Seeks to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Q1 2020 The Company is evaluating the impacts of the new standard on its existing financial instruments, including trade receivables.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. 12 Weeks Ended 36 Weeks Ended (In millions, except per share data) September 10, September 12, September 10, September 12, Numerator: Net earnings attributable to Wolverine World Wide, Inc. $ 48.2 $ 45.8 $ 89.6 $ 111.2 Adjustment for earnings allocated to non-vested restricted common stock (1.0 ) (0.8 ) (1.9 ) (2.0 ) Net earnings used in calculating basic earnings per share 47.2 45.0 87.7 109.2 Adjustment for earnings reallocated from non-vested restricted common stock — — — 0.1 Net earnings used in calculating diluted earnings per share $ 47.2 $ 45.0 $ 87.7 $ 109.3 Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding 99.4 103.0 99.4 102.9 Adjustment for non-vested restricted common stock (3.8 ) (3.3 ) (3.8) (3.4) Shares used in calculating basic earnings per share 95.6 99.7 95.6 99.5 Effect of dilutive stock options 1.3 1.6 0.7 1.7 Shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share 96.9 101.3 96.3 101.2 Net earnings per share: Basic $ 0.49 $ 0.45 $ 0.92 $ 1.10 Diluted $ 0.49 $ 0.44 $ 0.91 $ 1.08 For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 , options relating to 1,968,599 and 4,636,609 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 12, 2015 , options relating to 1,692,879 and 1,526,875 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, have not been included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

The operating results for fiscal 2016 have met the Company’s financial plan; however, if future operating results were to not meet its revenue and profitability projections, the Company may record a non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge in future periods. The carrying value of the Company’s Stride Rite ® and Sperry ® trade name indefinite-lived intangible assets was $ 15.0 million and $ 586.8 million , respectively, as of September 10, 2016 .

Accounts Receivables [Abstract]
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company has an agreement with a financial institution to sell selected trade accounts receivable on a recurring, nonrecourse basis that expires in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Under the agreement, up to $ 200.0 million of accounts receivable may be sold to the financial institution and remain outstanding at any point in time. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the accounts receivable and removes them from its consolidated balance sheet, but continues to service and collect the outstanding accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institution. The Company recognizes a servicing asset or servicing liability, initially measured at fair value, each time it undertakes an obligation to service the accounts receivable under the agreement. The fair value of this obligation resulted in a nominal servicing liability for all periods presented. For receivables sold under the agreement, 90 % of the stated amount is paid for in cash to the Company at the time of sale, with the remainder paid to the Company at the completion of the collection process. The following is a summary of the stated amount of accounts receivable that was sold as well as fees charged by the financial institution. 12 Weeks Ended 36 Weeks Ended (In millions) September 10, September 12, September 10, September 12, Accounts receivable sold $ 138.2 $ 158.9 $ 437.1 $ 473.0 Fees charged 0.3 0.3 1.1 1.0 The fees are recorded in other expense.

The Credit Agreement provided a $ 450.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan A”) and a $ 500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), both with maturity dates of July 13, 2020. The Credit Agreement’s debt capacity is limited to an aggregate debt amount (including outstanding term loan principal and revolver commitment amounts in addition to permitted incremental debt) not to exceed $ 1,425.0 million , unless certain specified conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement are met. The Revolving Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million , which includes a $ 200.0 million foreign currency subfacility under which borrowings may be made, subject to certain conditions, in Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros, Hong Kong dollars, Swedish kronor, Swiss francs and such additional currencies as are determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $50.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility of $ 2.6 million , $ 3.8 million and $ 3.6 million as of September 10, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. These outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under Term Loan A and to U.S. dollar denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 0.25% to 1.00% , or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 1.25% to 2.00% (all capitalized terms used in this sentence are as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company has two interest rate swap arrangements that reduce the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. At September 10, 2016 , Term Loan A had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.16 %. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the Credit Agreement requires compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio; a maximum Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio; and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph are as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 10, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants and performance ratios under the Credit Agreement. On August 30, 2016, the Company issued $ 250.0 million of senior notes that are due on September 1, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at 5.000% with the related interest payments due semi-annually. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016, on September 15, 2016, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), which increased the outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A by $ 150.0 million , and increased the amount the Company can borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility by $ 100.0 million . Under the Amended Agreement, the debt capacity is now limited to an aggregate debt amount not to exceed $ 1,750.0 million , unless certain specified conditions are met. The Amended Agreement also provides greater operational flexibility to the Company and its subsidiaries, including with respect to the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to make restricted payments including share repurchases, investments and asset dispositions. The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding are unchanged under the Amended Agreement, as are the maturity date of July 13, 2020 and financial covenants. The Company has $ 375.0 million of senior notes outstanding that may be traded in the public market (the “Public Bonds”) that are due on October 15, 2020. The Public Bonds bear interest at 6.125% with the related interest payments due semi-annually. The Public Bonds are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016, on September 15, 2016, the Company redeemed the Public Bonds using the proceeds of the Senior Note issuance and the additional borrowings on Term Loan A. As such, the Company has classified the $ 375.0 million as current maturities of long-term debt as of September 10, 2016 since the outstanding principal balance was voluntarily paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Due to the early redemption of the Public Bonds, the Company estimates that it will incur debt extinguishment costs of approximately $ 18.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. This amount includes a $ 13.1 million early redemption premium and the write-off of the unamortized balance of the deferred financing fees related to the original debt issuance. The Company has various foreign revolving line of credit facilities with aggregate available borrowings of $ 7.0 million that are uncommitted and, therefore, each borrowing against the applicable facility is subject to approval by the lender. Borrowings against these facilities were $ 1.2 million , $ 0.0 million and $ 0.0 million as of September 10, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. The Company has a capital lease obligation with payments scheduled to continue through February 2022. The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of $ 0.8 million and $2.2 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 , respectively. The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.7 million and $2.7 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 12, 2015 , respectively.

Financial Instruments and Risk

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities. Level 3: Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, interest rate swap arrangements, borrowings under revolving credit agreements and long-term debt. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates fair value, except for the interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are carried at fair value. The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, are as follows: (In millions) September 10, 2016 January 2, 2016 September 12, 2015 Carrying value $ 1,050.6 $ 809.2 $ 814.0 Fair value 1,090.9 836.3 846.2 The fair value of the fixed rate debt was based on third-party quotes (Level 2). The fair value of the variable rate debt was calculated by discounting the future cash flows to its present value using a discount rate based on the risk-free rate of the same maturity (Level 3). The Company follows ASC 815, which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated primarily with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. These foreign currency forward exchange hedge contracts extend out to a maximum of 335 days, 349 days and 356 days, as of September 10, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to manage foreign currency translation exposure. Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are offset by foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Company has two interest rate swap arrangements which exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. These derivative instruments, which, unless otherwise terminated, will mature on October 6, 2017 and July 13, 2020 , have been designated as cash flow hedges of the debt. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap arrangements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments are as follows: (Dollars in millions) September 10, 2016 January 2, 2016 September 12, 2015 Foreign exchange contracts: Hedge contracts $ 161.4 $ 192.6 $ 194.0 Non-hedge contracts 10.8 23.2 — Interest rate swaps (1) 537.9 609.7 638.9 (1) Includes a forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $ 288.8 million , which has an effective date of October 17, 2016 . The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value Measurements Quoted Prices With Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) (In millions) September 10, 2016 January 2, 2016 September 12, 2015 Financial assets: Foreign exchange contracts - hedge $ 2.5 $ 6.7 $ 3.7 Foreign exchange contracts - non-hedge — 0.5 — Interest rate swaps — 0.2 — Financial liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts - hedge $ 1.6 $ — $ 1.3 Foreign exchange contracts - non-hedge 0.5 0.1 — Interest rate swaps 12.1 3.9 5.0 The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts. Hedge effectiveness is evaluated by the hypothetical derivative method. Any hedge ineffectiveness is reported within the cost of goods sold line item in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for the 12 or 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 . If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined to be ineffective hedges or terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts related to the cash flow hedges that are currently included in AOCI within stockholders’ equity. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap arrangements is recognized as interest expense. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swaps and the variable rate borrowings, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assessed at the hedges’ inception, and continues to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in the hedging transaction are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. The effective portion of unrealized gains (losses) is deferred as a component of AOCI and will be recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company recognized compensation expense of $ 3.8 million and $ 15.3 million , and related income tax benefits of $ 1.4 million and $ 5.3 million , for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 , respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense of $ 3.3 million and $ 17.4 million , and related income tax benefits of $ 1.0 million and $ 5.7 million , for grants under its stock-based compensation plans for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 12, 2015 . Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated weighted average fair value for each option granted during the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 was $ 3.34 and $ 6.37 , respectively, with the following weighted average assumptions: 36 Weeks Ended September 10, September 12, Expected market price volatility (1) 27.2 % 28.8 % Risk-free interest rate (2) 1.0 % 1.3 % Dividend yield (3) 1.4 % 0.9 % Expected term (4) 4 years 4 years (1) Based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over the four years prior to the grant. (2) Represents the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the option at the time of grant. (3) Represents the Company’s estimated cash dividend yield for the expected term. (4) Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. As part of the determination of the expected term, the Company concluded that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The Company issued 267,376 and 292,885 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants and the exercise of stock options during the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. During the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , the Company canceled 136,438 and 306,210 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures. The Company issued 2,411,533 and 2,230,891 shares of common stock in connection with new restricted stock grants and the exercise of stock options during the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. During the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , the Company canceled 728,230 and 510,211 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under restricted stock awards as a result of forfeitures.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company maintains certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are generated by its Canadian, European and Asia Pacific subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in other foreign jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax. The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes for earnings generated in foreign jurisdictions because it plans to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. However, if certain foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the additional U.S. tax liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s after-tax results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company’s effective tax rate for the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 was 19.5 % and 29.0 %, respectively. For the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , the Company’s effective tax rate was 24.1% and 29.0% , respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the current year periods reflects changes in income between tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates and certain favorable discrete items in the current year. The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011 in the majority of tax jurisdictions.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation and Contingencies	LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in various environmental claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The environmental claims include sites where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has notified the Company that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to environmental remediation. These remediation claims are subject to ongoing environmental impact studies, assessment of remediation alternatives, allocation of costs between responsible parties and concurrence by regulatory authorities and have not yet advanced to a stage where the Company’s liability is fixed. However, after taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of all actions and claims against the Company, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also involved in routine non-environmental litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment and intellectual property. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these items will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Minimum future royalty and advertising obligations for the fiscal periods subsequent to September 10, 2016 under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company are as follows: (In millions) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Thereafter Minimum royalties $ 0.4 $ 2.0 $ 1.4 $ 1.5 $ 1.5 $ — Minimum advertising 0.9 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 7.4 Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the Consumer Price Index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.5 million for the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively. For the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , the Company incurred royalty expense, in accordance with these agreements, of $ 1.4 million and $ 1.4 million , respectively. The terms of certain license agreements also require the Company to make advertising expenditures based on the level of sales of the licensed products. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred advertising expense of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.6 million for the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , respectively.

Restructuring Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Activities	RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES 2014 Plan On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a realignment of the Company’s consumer-direct operations (the “2014 Plan”). As a part of the 2014 Plan, the Company closed 136 retail stores, consolidated certain consumer-direct support functions and implemented certain other organizational changes. The Company completed the 2014 Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Costs incurred related to the 2014 Plan have been recorded within the Corporate category. The cumulative costs incurred is $ 49.5 million , with $ 6.5 million recorded in the restructuring costs line item as a component of cost of goods sold, and $ 43.0 million recorded in the restructuring and impairment costs line item as a component of operating expenses. Approximately $ 23.0 million represents non-cash charges. The Company expects annual pretax benefits of approximately $ 16.0 million as a result of the 2014 Plan. The Company estimates the majority of the remaining restructuring reserve will be settled during the remainder of fiscal 2016, with the exception of a lease liability that extends into 2019. The following is a summary of the activity during the 36 weeks ended September 10, 2016 and September 12, 2015 , with respect to a reserve established by the Company in connection with the 2014 Plan, by category of costs.

Summary of Significant Accoun21

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	8 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer of footwear, apparel and accessories. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates ® , Cat ® , Chaco ® , Harley-Davidson ® , Hush Puppies ® , HyTest ® , Keds ® , Merrell ® , Saucony ® , Sebago ® , Sperry ® , Stride Rite ® and Wolverine ® . Third-party distributors, licensees and joint ventures extend the global reach of the Company’s brand portfolio. The Company also operates a consumer-direct division that markets both its own brands and branded footwear and apparel from other manufacturers, as well as a leathers division that markets Wolverine Performance Leathers™ .
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s fiscal 2015 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated through licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or shipment of branded products by licensees and distributors. Retail store revenue is recognized at time of sale. The Company records provisions for estimated sales returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical rates of returns and allowances and specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers. However, estimates of actual returns and allowances in any future period are inherently uncertain and actual returns and allowances may differ from these estimates. If actual or expected future returns and allowances were significantly greater or less than established reserves, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period this determination was made.
Cost of Goods Sold	Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound freight charges and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Seasonality	Seasonality The Company’s business is subject to seasonal influences and the Company’s fiscal year has 12 weeks in each of the first three fiscal quarters and, depending on the fiscal calendar, 16 or 17 weeks in the fourth fiscal quarter. Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in recent years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities. Level 3: Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Derivatives and Hedging	The Company follows ASC 815, which is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting and requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock Based Compensation Policy	Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and, as such, has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience. The Company estimated the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
