"Boots that I'm wearing on my last day" has special meaning to me. My Father (a farmer), died wearing his Redwing boots and his straw cowboy hat. Both were well worn, and both were items of daily attire. The boots always, and the hat in the summertime. I happened to know a sculptor and approached her with a project. Could you please take the boots and hat, and arrange them in a grouping and cast them in bronze. I have two siblings, and requested that she do three castings..........one for each of us. She allowed me to choose the title. I called it 'A Fine Example', and have hopes that these will be passed down to first born children for generations to come. I must say thanks to you for providing a 'Fine Example' on a daily basis for all of us that subscribe. I always enjoy.

My Dad died on October 22,1971 wearing his Red Wing Pecos cowboy boots. I've got a pair of Pecos boots that are over 15 years old and I have a few pairs of Red Wing steel toe boots ( 2408 ) I wore while assembling sprayers for Case IH in Benson MN. 10-12 hour days, 4-6 days a week, 9 1/2 years. Change insoles couple of times a year.

My dad is fortunately still alive. He just recently went back to work part time after retiring. He's been wearing the same red wings for like 13 years. So in turn I got myself a pair of Redwing work boots, I've had them for four years working as a laborer and now operator engineer. I hope they last another decade.

When taking care of my 8” Redwing moc toe boots, I’ve used Redwing boot oil and Sno-Seal, the Sno-Seal was a better waterproof product that you’d warm your boots in an oven to get them really warm and then rub it in and it would melt into the leather with really good coverage.
@bradleypeterson2208
@bradleypeterson2208 9 ай бұрын
Try Huberd’s. It’s a heavier oil than sno-seal, keeps waterproof for up to like 5-7 days of hard use depending on the environment you’re in.

Thorogood is all I’ve worn for about ten years whether working on a concrete floor, construction site, or in the woods cutting trees. I love the 6” comp toe wedge sole for the shop and site, and the 8” steel toe logger in the woods. They make some models with an extra wide “emperor toe” that are very comfortable as well. Being that they’re USA made, durable, comfortable, and reasonably priced, I probably will always choose them for work.

And I've resoled my pair about 5/6 times I think. I'm still working. Construction. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your video. I'll check into both these boots, cause you know what works for one don't work for another. Thank you sir.

I made the switch to Thorogoods last year. I switched out the insole for a Timberland insole and for the first time in my life I actually would rather wear my boots than anything else. They're always comfortable even when I've been on my feet all day at work (HVAC trade) and then work in my shop after work. I'm very happy with my boots. Thorogoods have earned my money.

When we were younger my cousin and I wore the die hard boots from sears and once they would start to look worn out in the leather we would open the truck door while driving and put a foot on the pavement to wear down the soles and then turn them back in to sears for a new pair since they had a lifetime warranty.

I have a set of 6" Carolina boots. They are not the American made version, but they are well made and very comfortable and I love the extra toe room. I'm mostly a weekend warrior and I originally bought these for working on a steep hill in the house I used to live at. After buying my own house I spent a few months working on it daily and I have also spent every weekend since I moved in (about 2 years) working on it. I really like the metal shaft in the sole for climbing ladders and walking around on ceiling joists (which I am doing much more than I ever wanted to) and they have held up extremely well for the most part. The shoe I bought had the composite toe and one day while pulling about half a sheet of 1 inch mdf off a wall from an old built in, it landed on my toe. The composite toe of the boot did absolutely nothing. It shattered like it was made from dry twigs and my toe did pretty much the same thing. I don't have any similar experiences with other types of reinforced boots to compare it to, but I feel a steel toe would have done better. While the boots are still completely functional, there is no more reinforcement in the toes of either boot (so the board must have hit both boots?). Not having medical insurance or any time to spare, I took a day off and went back to work on the house the next day. I have to say that extra toe room was really nice to have because It allowed me to keep working and even tile a large floor without any additional toe pain. The boots basically suspended my does off the floor while crawling around, which is great when you have a broken toe. If I can't afford to get a set of american made boots when I need to replace these, I would definitely buy them again, but in steel toe next time.

They still are on their original sole and are on concrete all day, machine shop chips half the night and the farm fields or woods the rest of the time. Because the sole is like iron they can be a bit slippery on a hard wet surface but do well in the dirt, mud, snow.

When Chippewa moved production from the US to Vietnam I switched to Thorogood. This is my first pair of Loggers that were not Chippewa (in 30 years) and I'm pretty happy with them. While they weigh a metric ton they are extremely comfortable and broke in fairly quickly. I expect them to last as long as a pair of Chippewas did, last pair went 5 years of hard daily wear in the trades.

Thorogood are great boots. I have 4 pairs. I have one of their heritage collection that you can wear to a wedding reception with leather soles. My workboots have the same rubber soles you have in the video. One pair I've had since 2015 and I walk about 4-5 miles per day in them. They've been to the top of mountains in Utah and used for nearly every task imaginable. Only one of the pairs I have is 8" - most are the shorter ankles. +1 for Hubbard's shoe grease.

I had the privilege for 13 years to be a firefighter. Thorogood was my first station dress boot. I enjoyed the brand very much.

Never was much of a boot wearer. I’m a city boy from DFW area of texas. First pair I wore was a rompers toe black boot that my brother wore when we were in a spirit group at eachother high school. For my birthday couple years later got a pair of square toe ariats. Love them. Still wear them occasionally in the colder months. Did Christmas lights and later I bought myself a pair of 6” thorogoods because of your work boot videos and thought they’d be good for roofing (in my experience, they were terrible. Constantly slipping). I liked them. Later I was dating this girl and her dad got me a job at a pipe laying job he worked at. Use them there. Realized I bought a size too big, they did good. Now I work in a fabrication/supplier for peterbuilt and I needed steel toe boots. Went to Red Wing, got the Wingshooter ST 8” with a safety toe. My absolute favorite boot I have ever bought. No break in period, immediate comfort, compliments all around, absolutely, the best boots I’ve bought. Ever.

The addition of the cork in the Thoroughgood gives them the edge for me. The insole is one of the best I have tried.

The sole wear is critical for me. I purchased another brand with a sole that essentially melted away and what a disappointment coming from primarily logger boots. I had been looking at the Thoroughgood boots and certainly appreciate the video.

I have over two years on my first pair of Thorogoods as a diesel mechanic. Definitely thorogoods for life now.

Bought a pair of Brunt Marin moc toe boots and it’s been great! Chose the moc toe style based on EC.

Thorogood boots are my go to in the shop. Can stand in them for 8 hrs and feet don’t hurt nor or they tired. Been through a few brands but these are my choice, now coming on 10yrs.

I cant believe I found this video. Ive been a Union sheet metal worker for 25 years. I started in the trade wearing Die hard. Wore them for years. When Sears disappeared I looked for an alternative. A friend had gotten a pair of the Thorogoods and I really liked them. Ive been wearing them for years now and they hold up and are comfortable and very durable. I watch boot videos and they say the construction of the boot with the plastic welt is lower grade but imho it’s not important. I dont care what Northwest boot brand you pick the uppers only last a year between kneeling on roofs and concrete and the miles you put on them on job sites and shop work. Even the epoxy toe caps wear out quickly. So resoling isnt an option for me. Price comfort and reliability are the factors for me. By the time I break in a North Western boot I’ll be looking for a resole. A month of pain on my feet isnt an option and for what, when I can get a pair of boots that work right out of the box that are cheaper and last the same amount of time. Glad to see Im not the only one out there that went through this same kind of thing lol. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing.

It wasn't until I purchased a pair of Nick's Handmade Boots out of Spokane that my 52yrs old, size 14 feet felt like they had found a home. 18yrs driving LtL is killer without the proper footwear.

I have heard of this custom bootmaker in Spokane. I’m retired now so I won’t be buying them but I almost wish that I needed some.

@AdamsLab $600 for mine but they are also lifetime boots that can be rebuilt enough times until I retire.

I used to be a cult follower of Thorogood, but like you said, my feet started to ache at night. After 10 years I finally switched to red wings 10877. It’s a much much rougher break in but that ache went away almost instantly. There is no padded insole just the leather insole, something your foot can form to. Almost like a custom insole. I love Thorogood but the move to the red wing 10877 has changed my work life completely. I don’t see me going back anytime soon.
