EXHIBIT 4(f)

                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT


          THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "Second
Amendment") is made as of October 28, 1994, by and between WOLVERINE WORLD
WIDE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and NBD BANK, N.A., a
national banking corporation (the "Rights Agent").  This Second Amendment
amends the Rights Agreement dated as of May 7, 1987, as amended and
restated as of October 24, 1990, between the Company and the Rights Agent
(the "Rights Agreement").  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this
Second Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Rights
Agreement.


                                    RECITALS

          The Board of Directors of the Company wants to appoint Harris
Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, Illinois ("Harris"), as successor Rights
Agent and transfer to Harris the duties of the Rights Agent under the
Rights Agreement.  To facilitate the transfer of the duties of the Rights
Agent to Harris, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to amend
Section 21 of the Rights Agreement to expand the eligibility requirements
for the rights agent to include Illinois trust institutions.


                   ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

     1.   Amendment of Section 21 of Rights Agreement.  Section 21 of the
Rights Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     Section 21.  Change of Rights Agent.  The Rights Agent or any
     successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its
     duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice in
     writing mailed to the Company, and to each transfer agent of the
     Common Stock and Preferred Stock, by registered or certified
     mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-
     class mail.  The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any
     successor Rights Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing,
     mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case
     may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock and
     Preferred Stock, by registered or certified mail, and to the
     holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail.  If the
     Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become
     incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the
     Rights Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
     within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such
     removal or after it has been notified in writing of such
     resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated
     Rights Agent or by the holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall,
     with such notice, submit his Rights Certificate for inspection by
     the Company), then any registered holder of any Rights

                                  -1-
     Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
     the appointment of a new Rights Agent.  Any successor Rights
     Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall
     be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
     the United States or of the State of New York, Michigan or
     Illinois (or of any other state of the United States so long as
     such corporation is authorized to do business as a banking
     institution in the State of New York, Michigan or Illinois), in
     good standing, having a principal office in the State of New
     York, Michigan or Illinois, which is authorized under such laws
     to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision
     or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the
     time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and
     surplus of at least $100,000,000.  After appointment, the
     successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers,
     rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
     named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the
     predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the
     successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it
     hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance,
     conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.  Not later
     than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company
     shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights
     Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock and the
     Preferred Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the
     registered holders of the Rights Certificates.  Failure to give
     any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any
     defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the
     resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of
     the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.


                    SIGNED as of the date first written above.
