How are Thorogood Moc Toe Boots Made?

[@MeghanStark]

Thank you so much everyone, this partnership with Thorogood was many years in the making! My persistence finally paid off and I am officially a Thorogood dealer. You can shop a debut collection of Moc Toe boots on my website now: greatlakesupplyco.com/collections/boots Have any other questions about Thorogood? I'd love to make a follow up talking features, construction, styles, colorways, and more!

[@BoycottChinaa]

George went on to make boots that are good to the bone (s)? Do they sell cobra snake neckties and bourbon scotch shots with cerveza side cars that'll cause your brain rots?? Johnny Red if you prefer riding while drinking alone? )))

Been wearing Thorogood boots for 27 years. Outstanding investment for your whole body. Chavez Southern California.

[@zeus982]

After an extensive search, I bought my first pair of quality work boots, and decided to get some Thorogoods. I’m a mailman in a rural area and I wear through my 60 dollar boots in less than a year. Excited to see the different with these.

[@lupevalenzuela6987]

I must say that I have worn redwing boots for 15 years and tried the Thorogood wedge boots 3 years ago and never went back to red wing. best boots in my opinion . made in the USA .

[@YoYoRaeRae]

Love my Thorogoods! Fantastic tour. I wear them every day at work as an apprenticing cobbler, and I love that they’re American/ Wisconsin made. ❤️

[@kmcel190]

I start as an electrical apprentice in 5 days. Just bought a pair of 6" crazy horse lug sole mocs. coming from boots exclusively at the $120 price point, im blown away by the quality and comfort. Keep it up and you've got a customer for life.

[@full_metal2452]

My first pair of 8” moc toes are showing up Monday 🎉

[@Ninja-400-girl]

Cool Tour! I never new how many steps and processes a boot needs/ goes thru to be made. Now i understand why they cost as much as they do.

[@MeghanStark]

Neither did I! It's a very intentional and cool process, definitely helped me understand more behind the price tag. And there's much more that I trimmed out of this video!

[@nomaambundy9989]

Damn fine boot. I recovered a broken foot using Thorogood boots. Excellent leather quality, and unlike REDWINGS; Thorogood's leather didn't wear through at the toe of the boot, even though I work construction and usually wear out boots at the "toe" end. My work requires that I wear a steel toe... I have flat feet and had suffered a broken menial malleolus. Recovery was difficult. It was suggested that I purchase a Moc Toe boot, and throughout the considerable pain from the injury during my rehabilitation, this boot delivered beyond my expectations. I owe the skilled craftsmen, "and women" a debt of gratitude. Without their fine product, I might not have been able to return to work as quickly as I did. I have a second set of boots on the way, and I will re-sole the original pair. Thank you for building a quality product. I appreciate that they are AMERICAN made, and that the quality of this footwear is second to none. I will hopefully continue to purchase my work boots from Thorogood for the rest of my life. Thank you, An Electrician.

[@anthonygrella75]

I work construction also, how do you work in them with no waterproof?

[@FORDultra]

@anthonygrella75 they have waterproof moc toes and Wellingtons.

[@Louthemailman]

thorogoods are good boots but redwing is better an thats a fact

[@FORDultra]

@Louthemailman I'm going to have to agree. I do concrete work, and personally prefer pull on boots, vs lace ups, but I've always worn Red wings. I just recently got a pair of Thorogood American Heritage Wellingtons, and they don't compare to the Red Wings I've had as far as comfort.

[@jdsalinger73]

I lived in Wausau for 4 years and never knew about this brand? Bet is smells heavenly in that factory.

[@IamChucky_]

Got my first pair of Thorogoods steel toes in black. Love everything about these boots. They were a bit stiff out the box but once I put some conditioner on them there was almost zero break in. Hope to get many years of use out of these.

[@ThorogoodUSA]

Well done. Happy to have you on the team. Cheers!!!🤜💥🤛

[@nicksboots]

Is the sewing done at that facility? Seems like that got skipped over in the video.

[@garysprague2009]

Good question! I’ve saw in another video they said the Amish sew the upper and another said they are done overseas. Never can get a direct answer. Kinda deceitful if not. They put the little flags on them and the union made stamp but aren’t made 100 in America or by union employees. I hope I’m wrong but doubtful. They are on the low end of quality boots so I wouldn’t honestly be surprised.

[@user-ow4xu9yk4h]

I just bought my second pair of Thorogood 804-4200 wedge moc toe boots in tobacco color their my favorite boots super comfortable i will keep buying these boots

That’s so awesome that you’re in position to add boots from a classic manufacturer to your store! Killing it Meghan!

[@MeghanStark]

Thanks so much! I'm really excited about this new opportunity 😊

[@Hjfvvdst]

I have my first pair of these boots. They took approximately 4 days form them to form to my feet. Not bad the first 4 days, but from then on they feel great not heavy but very supportive. I had both heels crushed years ago and tore tenders in my left foot approximately 2 years ago. These boots feel great. I'm in construction.

[@robertupchurch8088]

I love watching how products are made. Thanks for the great video

[@bonacci01]

I just ordered a set of boots through my work. I knew nothing about Thorogood before. I saw they were made in the USA and felt extremely well made. I did a quick search online and found your video , what a great look at an American boot manufacturer ! Great video . Excited to get them !

This was really interesting to see! Great tour! Well done in achieving the partnership as well. Congrats!

[@theodoreteo8646]

Thanks for sharing. Good to see the factory where my boots come from. One point to note for future location process tour videos like this: be brave about the camera. Get the camera person to shoot at the persons working, doing the process itself. The voice of the tour guide can be recorded separately with lapel mic. We don’t really need to see the guide all the time. Only at the introduction of each section. But the process she is describing needs to be seen. Lots of it were lost because the camera didn’t catch them or from too far away. Overall. Still helpful to feel the Thorogood factory. It would be good to also get the sense of what it means by unionised workers and employee owned company. They are known to be one. Milk that too!

[@BlakesPipes]

Great video of some boots I am looking at!

[@kirra77]

At 1:58, she takes a boot off the rack, a KZbinr claims these racks of boots are from China, the Thorogood USA staff, just do the final trim, sole and packaging. To say “made in America”. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but the tour didn’t include making the boot itself.

[@garysprague2009]

They skip it for a reason. Buy american boots. Jk,, nicks, whites etc

I liked the view you give of the factory. I have seen that they use a conditioner for the Moc Toe Tabaco boot, do you know what conditioner it is? I have a pair of these boots and I don't want them to change color.

[@robertsebastian787]

I love my Thorogoods

[@MikeH-ig5eb]

I’ve heard the leather uppers are stitched out of factory. That step is totally skipped over so I’m assuming it’s true :,(

[@garysprague2009]

So can you confirm the boot is actually sewn in the USA at the union shop? They have stated before that the upper is sewn overseas and only bottomed here in USA at the union shop.

[@seanlowkey9388]

You should carry ee wide sizes on your site. Considering you have the lowest price i have seen thus far. I spent about 290 at boot barn for my midnight’s, but they also carry wides

[@MeghanStark]

Thank you for the suggestion, I've just added them to the website! We can special order wide sizes and have them shipped out just a day or two slower than usual since Thorogood is a few hours away from us.

[@danielmiller6983]

I have a pair of Thorogood boots and they feel great. My only issue is I wish they didn't have so much synthetic material. They compete with Redwing with a lot less leather.

[@YoYoRaeRae]

When your soles wear out you can have a cobbler re-sole them and change the synthetic welt to a leather one.

[@MiRo-d3y]

they need to make a motorcycle boot with ankle cups and stiffer ankle support to prevent twists and bends.

[@zzwatts]

I have 4 pairs of thorogood. My most recent pair I just got this week from Amazon and I’m worried they might be fake. Do you know if the flag on the side of the boot always has USA under it. My other thorogood boot flag says USA under it but this one doesn’t it’s just a flag.

[@mrtheluckybucket]

newer ones just have the flag on it, went to boot barn and every single one had just the flag on it and I doubt those are all fake.

[@ramonvega6106]

You missed the whole step of putting to leather together?

[@TylerSnyder305]

Here in this video you can see Americans click ( cut out ) and last the uppers of these boots , yet you still have some prominent internet personalities claiming that the uppers are constructed overseas. No. The leather is tanned here in the USA by Seidel, the outsoles made in the USA by Meramec, the texon fiberboard midsole made in the USA. just as the label says Thorogood boots are MADE IN THE USA with some materials that are imported. They do not source seidel leather then send it overseas to be clicked & lasted just to be sent back for welting. There are FTC regulations, and if Weinbrenner says that the boots are MADE IN THE USA WITH US AND GLOBAL MATERIALS, thats what it means. They're truly made here, but some of the materials ( not a very significant percentage as per FTC regulations) are not and that does not mean that any of those domestic materials necessarily come from china.

Must be so refreshing to have a durable quality boot made domestically as opposed to the contradiction sourced from China that more or less self destructs before you know it.

[@MeghanStark]

Seriously! I swore off low-quality boots years ago, and I cannot go back.

[@eyeball4779]

[@MeghanStark]

You can reach out right to Thorogood and include your receipt info. They'll definitely send you a set if you're missing one. I do believe it depends on the shoe style whether or not they come with two.

[@tcs2508]

i like my thorogoods an even better thorogood would be if it was sewn with kevlar thread

[@proper60]

I started wearing thorogood boots in 2016 at that time the boot was costing me just under $220 dollars. Every time after that when I would purchase a new pair the prices would go up and up and up right now here in Los Angeles that boot is checking out at just over $290. I’m sorry, but I refuse to pay that much. Shame on thorogood for spiking their prices so much it was and is my absolute favorite boot, but I will never purchased it again not at that price point.

[@leanit5756]

You guys make the best boots, I absolutely love them, but too many models w/ Moc toe v round toe. Useless for anyone who welds, runs a torch etc. Molten slag and sparks land on Moc toe and burn out seams in no time. I know, just buy a round toe. I do, but they are not offered in the same variety as Moc. Anyhow keep up the great work and keep it American.

[@anthonygrella75]

Wish they were water proof,love the design and comfort but need them to be waterproof

[@leonelsanchez1746]

Honestly i paid $300 they lasted me 8 months or like 1 year they comfortable and protected my ankle but they should had lasted me longer the bottom wear is gone the insoles are goin bad the shoe laces are no good now.

[@spencerd1079]

Maybe do some research on Heritage boots and Goodyear Welted footwear before becoming a dealer and going on a factory tour. You just stood there holding your hands awkwardly. Why did you not ask any questions or make any comments or share any of your experience with your heritage footwear? (Assuming you actually wear the product you are now selling….)
