I Paid $300 For Some Clown Shoes-Thorogood 1957 Classic 6 Month Honest Review

Just a lengthy honest review on the Thorogood 1957 Classic style work boot. My experience, opinions and concerns all laid out for those who are curious on how they have held up and my level of satisfaction with my purchase. These boots in particular are the "8 mock toe version with the "8 shaft and safety toe. I know the video should be way shorter but I didn't feel like making it shorter, I just wanted to talk about my boots while I cleaned them.

Just my 2 cents as a long time Thorogood wearer the best way to clean them if super filthy like mine usually get working in the oil and gas industry and occasionally having to drive a roll off dumpster truck going in and out of refineries and landfills use dawn and a semi stiff brush and as far as the sole use a Mr clean eraser let them dry heat them up a tad bit and slap on some Huberds shoe grease. That sole in particular is my favorite as far as comfort and durability and you can have them resoled atleast twice. Great boots for people with messed up feet like mine and I tend to drag my right foot

I love my Thorogoods, so comfortable.

Thorogood tumbleds their leather which is the reason why they have no break in and why you will see some of the leather that look like it’s embossed. You could always have Thorogood resole them with the 90 degree black soles. I’m not sure what they charge now, but I think it’s reasonable. I think it’s around $100 bucks. Or you could ask some local cobblers what they would charge for a basic resole.

ive had mines for about 5 weeks there confortable but heavy . and my front sole look like it coming off on a spot

[@beng32112]

Hey man, are they comfortable with the stock insoles still or have you changed insoles?

[@whydothenationsrage]

The insoles are really good I haven't changed them. There is a layer of cork underneath the insole which is definitely a plus. After break in, they will fit your feet perfectly. That's one thing I forgot to mention. Thanks for watching!

@@whydothenationsrage Great, I’m planning to go with the steel toe American Heritage line in 6” if I can find that it fits. If not I might look at red wing.

I hope you get your 6 years out of them. If the upper holds up, I would put a vibram lug sole on. The "honey lug" from vibram is a little softer & works a little better for guys that like the wedge sole. Imo, wedge soles are kinda crappy, they just wear out way too fast. If the uppers make it 6 years, I would definatly make the investment into a professionally installed honey lug vibram. Good luck with em bro.

Boots with shorts. Nuff said.
