You and me both. I have redwing Moc toes that I work in occasionally, but my go to is Thorogood. Red wings take so long to break in I can’t go thru that process and work at the same time lol. Took mine forever forcing myself to wear them at least 4 hours a day just to break them in!! I wear my redwings as my casual boot when I’m not working. Had mine for about 3 years now I guess and they’re still going strong. Super comfortable once broken in and you get that good imprint of your foot in the leather sole.

I decided to quit buying junk boots and ordered a pair for $300. At that price, you bet I’m never throwing them away. I’ll be taking good care of them with monthly cleaning and waxing. When the time comes I need a new sole, I’ll buy a second pair and send in the first to get rebuilt. Then with 2 pairs I’ll switch between them back and forth. Hopefully I’ll never have to buy another pair of boots for the next 30 years of my career.

@Drewski4238 ай бұрын
@@markm0000just keep in mind the way the Thorogood welt is constructed, it’ll cost a bit more to re sole than a redwing or something with that style welt. Still worth doing IMO because a broken in Thorogood is hard to beat.

I've found that THorogoods have too thin a tongue -- tight lacing can be painful. PLaced a false tongue (from Whites) on my refurbished Thorogoods and it was like MAGIC. The boots are now like slippers... I can't believe how much a difference that made. Good job as always. Call these boots Lazarus because they are back from the dead!

They look great! Perfect job. I like the new welt, cushion and midsole. If the owner of the boots would take a few minutes every couple months to put some leather conditioner on them they would stay looking pretty good and not dry out. But some people just won't do it. It's like they hate their leather or something.

Great job Aaron, those Thorogood's looked like they had it. I don't know why people don't clean and condition their boots at least once every four months, it would have been in much better shape with just a little effort. I really like that you put on a leather midsole and a cork filler, those boots must feel like new without having to break them in all over again.

At 02:16 I bought a pair yesterday for $5.00 & threw them in the wife's front-loading washing machine - while she was gone, of course. Loud commotion, but the metal spin drum wasn't dented & the boots came out clean. Yes, you wash out Thorogood's tanning oils, but I make a conditioning treatment of coconut oil (which doesn't oxidize or go rancid as fast as mink or neatsfoot oil), almond oil, tea tree oil (anti-bacterial) shea cream, glycerin (like Kiwi & Feibing's saddle soap, but excess use of humectants attract moisture & traps sticky dirt), lanolin (like Fiebing's, Lexol), & beeswax. It's great, but easier to just get a reputable brand researched by Ph.D chemists.
