For me they took a bit to get use to with the steeper heel/toe angle. Not anything too uncomfortable, just a few weeks of daily use and everything was much better. I do remember wishing I had ordered up a half size to allow a larger more comfortable insole. Outside of that they were an awesome boot. Get into a regular cleaning process with them and you be good to go. I ignored mine far too long and they got hard as a rock on the lowers. Hope this helped man! 👍

Yeah this happened to me when I first got mine but they are great now

Both are fine. The wedge sole has a less aggressive tread pattern where as the Flyway has more of a traditional lug sole. Both have basically the same comfort level. Sole wear is about the same due to the sole compound being almost the same. I prefer the wedge sole just so I'm not tracking any more dirt/mud into the work trailer than necessary.

Appreciate man!👍

I agree. I see the smallest size they offer is 8. Hopefully they'll expand the size range in the future.👍

I use to wear Red Wing boots years ago. Like 10+ years ago. Nothing with a wedge sole, so unfortunately I can't give you any feedback with that. Thorogoods have been solid for me so it'll be tough to try another brand...even though I'm currently testing some boots by Brunt.😓

I'm currently testing some boots by Brunt. Just another month...maybe 2 before I do a review.

@@trod7374 Hey T Rod. Hope all is well, and thank you for the reply. Appreciated. Always great seeing your boots. Looking forward to your next boot video.

I've been using Iron laces for years and that's all I use. I'm not a welder, so they probably wouldn't work in that environment, but everything else I think they'd handle just fine. Ironlace...one word on Amazon. Pick your length and you'll be set! 👍

@@trod7374 Thanks, You're the man!

Sizing is spot on for me. I'm a 9.5 in Redwing and a 9.5 in these as well as most other boots. My Nike running shoes I'm a 10. I went with the medium width. I'm on the skinner side of things 5'11" @ 175, so for me they have the right amount of width without getting loose through out the day. They do offer a wide version as well.

Thx for the positive feedback! I'm currently wearing another boot brand for a review along with the new Thorogood's! A resole video is something that's been requested so I'm getting that going as soon as I can. 👍

Definitely! I've tried some other boots that were more for "going out" than on the job site and they were shit to be honest! These boots can do both. Just keep them clean, not too dirty and you'll be good to go! Great looking, quality construction and all day comfort...can't ask for more.👍

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

The craftmanship on the JK's was the best I've seen thus far. You get what you pay for for sure. Thorogood not quite as good but definitely not as expensive either. Comfort wise the JK take some getting use too because of the tall heal, but after a few weeks that's not an issue. Thorogood is great right from the start. I work in wet conditions daily so the waterproof liner Thorogood uses is really a huge benefit for me. I know the JK's can be oiled and conditioned to basically get the same result...I'm just not willing to do what it takes to keep them in that condition. After about 10 mths of neglect the JK's were as hard a rock and in need of some serious tlc to get them back in working order. The Thorogood's in the same time frame and same neglect just needed a resole. Speaking of soles... The JK soles are firmer than the Thorogood. Softer sole wears faster, but adds a little to the comfort. For me the Thorogood does everything I need a great work boot. Price is fine and matches the quality. Long lasting enough and comfortable to wear all day in the conditions I put them through. I do see that JK is now offering a wedge sole boot called "Forefront" that I might try out. Just not for my daily work. Hope this helps. Any other questions just let me know.

Wow ty trod !!!

I want the 814-4141 but with black wedge soles hard to find

I knew the sole was soft, but definitely comfortable when you're on your feet all day working. They actually held up well with my lawn and landscaping work I do daily. 10 to 15 lawns a day solo will put boots to the test. Always looking to test what manufacturers are putting out. I'm currently wearing Thorogood's and there sole is wearing similar. 👍

Appreciate it! Thx for the comment!

I still have the JK's. Unfortunately I didn't take care of them like I should have. They need a restoration bad so they can be brought back to life! Totally my fault...maybe a video of what not to do with your JK boots. 👍

Thanks for the update. I have a pair and I’m doing the same as you just letting them ride and not taking the best care of them

Good to know! Thanks for the info and comment man! Have a happy new year to you as well!

*Gortex lol talk to txt typo. *Resoled another typo. You’re welcome, thank you and you as well 🙏

Definitely a great boot all around! A favorite of mine for sure! Thx for comment!

I still have them, but I neglected them far too long. They need a good reconditioning before I'd be able to get them back into service. Need to make a video of "what not to do" to your boots next.

Haha I know how to neglect boots too no worries just wondering

Soon as I get a chance I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the info man!👍

I thought with the lack of aggressive tread they were going to be slightly slippery, but I haven't felt them slide at all really.

It's in my top 3 all time favorite pistols I've owned! Rides with me daily in my truck! Enjoy your P07 and thx for the comment!👍

@@trod7374 Do you think you’ll be getting the Cajun Gun Works trigger? I know a ton of KZbinrs that swear by them, but there’s this one guy I watched that said he just left his stock, and after 10,000 rounds the stock trigger actually got even smoother and lighter. I’m thinking I’ll keep mine stock for now and just see how it ages, but yeah the CJW trigger upgrade does seem interesting

I don't have any plans on upgrading to a CGW trigger. The stock trigger was good enough for my needs. I can attest to the fact that the stock trigger does smooth out. It will take a few thousand rounds to accomplish this and the difference may not be enough for some. I'm sure someone has compared the stock trigger to the CGW. I agree...run it stock and upgrade if you feel the need down the road. I will say I have a CZ Shadow 2 and when I want better trigger feel and extremely tight groups I reach for that.

@@trod7374 Awesome! Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a lot more confident knowing that the stock trigger stays great and gets better! I haven’t had any issues myself landing hits with double action. Personally, I prefer a stiff double action anyhow. It makes me feel safer knowing that it has that little bit more safety. And I agree in any SD situation with the adrenaline pumping you aren’t going to to be thinking about the difference between a 12 pound pull and a 10 pound pull… I would much rather have a bit more stiff of a trigger that I KNOW is going to work, than a sweet aftermarket one that MIGHT have an issue… Also, as far as having the sweet light trigger I have a Canik and I have to say I love it. The trigger is so smooth and the gun runs everything I put through it. Super reliable and only $350 for a full size. If I need to be making any kind of crazy precise shots I always have that lol

I don't think they get too hot. They are a dark color so they get warm in the summer, but nothing crazy. I have a newer video on these 1957 boots that I did a few weeks ago!

The boots were awesome! I unfortunately neglected them far too long. I do lawn/landscaping work, so the boots were wet and filthy daily! Over time the lack of care did them in. I still have them and may do a reconditioning video soon. See if they can be brought back to life. They're an awesome boot...just make sure you take care of them. Thanks for the comment and enjoy those super duty boots man!

I'll be looking around my area soon to see if a resole is possible. I'd like to have these resoled for a backup pair. Also a if a good repair shop can resole then maybe clean and condition too? Have a couple pairs in good condition to rotate would be awesome! Thanks for the comment!

@@trod7374 No problem, and yeah these appear to still be in great condition, a resole/cleaning shouldn't be an issue. I hope you find a decent shop that doesn't charge an arm and a leg!

How did the JK Boots work out? Any update videos to come?

The JK boots were great! Unfortunately I neglected them for too long and they're in pretty bad shape. I still have them and may try doing a video of "What not to do" with those kinds of boots. Then try to restore them? Leather lowers are hard as a rock...Totally my fault.

​@trod7374 that's a bummer, I have a pair of JK's I think they are the best Pacific North West boot. They can rebuild them for you. I also love all of my Thorogood boots as well. Thanks for the videos. I have a few boot videos on my channels well.

Buy the right mags from someone like CZ Custom, Cajun Gun Works, or the like. The 75-series mags aren't the right ones at ALL! Same for mag release parts. Buy from CZ Custom or Cajun Gun Works. I have an earlier version of the P10C that came with the ambidextrous mag release. I replaced that with the Apex Tactical single-side release, and it works a LOT better. Apex might have a release for the P07 that's worth trusting, too.

@@tomarmstrong4761 I already bought additional mags. The guy at gunshop had swapped the mag release back to righty before I bought the gun. 600 rounds and no issues now. I even bought a second P07 (non threaded) a few days later. A P10C a few days ago, and will be picking up the Gucci P07ish gun from my ffl within the next couple days.

I think that mulch kit was $250. Its been a few years since I bought it. It keeps the grass from shooting out the side of the mower and going everywhere. 1 negative is that you can get the mower deck clogged easier if you mow too fast...mainly in really tall wet conditions.

@@trod7374 yea I have Toro zero turn and I had mulch kit and I was taking it off all time when I was mowing long yards.

They were great boots. Those were style 814-4141. I'm currently in Thorogood 814-3800. Same boot basically. Waterproof, 8" tall, dark leather. The ones I have now have the white wedge sole vs the dark traditional lug sole on the old ones. New boots have a narrower fit and feel which I prefer. The old ones seemed a little roomy. I'm a skinner guy so I appreciate the narrower new ones. It's not a huge difference, but noticeable in my opinion. I'm totally satisfied with the new boots and will be doing a 3 mth review soon!! Midwestboots.com is where I search and buy from. I also run Iron Laces from Amazon and Rite Aid sole inserts. These are definitely my new favorite boots for sure! Any other questions just hit me up. 👍

@@trod7374 thank you so much for the quick response, I’m definitely going to pull the trigger on them

Worth noting that you need proof of purchase do get them resoled, so if you bought them years ago and lost the receipt, you're out of luck

​@@Nick_2iIf you have an account on their website your entire purchase history will be stored there, no need for a paper copy.

Redwing, Danner and Thorogood 9.5. I think these from JK measured 8.5. They are the best in customer service. Give them a call and they'll send you a trial pair. Try them on, call them, and they'll make any and all adjustments to get you the right fit!👍

@@trod7374 awesome thanks!

Have some new Thorogood boots I'm running right now. Here in a few weeks I'll work on a try on review of those. Maybe I'll do a try on of the 10" Bean boots as well.

@@trod7374 Looking forward to seeing your Thorogood boots. And more of those Bean boots. I am wanting to get a pair of those Bean boots. Especially since Spring season will be soon here. Wishing you a great Tuesday T Rod 👊
