[@AlexRodriguez-rx7fu]

Really curious about the timberline Barstow boots are they built with quality material or are they doing what carhartt is doing and just relying on their name to sell in that moctoe style

[@wpnt37]

Purchased these in 2019 for construction as a journeyman carpenter. Comfortable day 1 and lasted well over year without an ounce of regular care. The waterproofing is breathable and never failed whereas those in Keens and Red Wings have. I was a bit shocked to see the low rating, but I'm not a materials expert so I trust that your rating is fair.

[@JB-gj8pu]

Some boots are more than the sum of it's materials.

[@quickshot4050]

Keen in my experience has terrible waterproofing, but they’re by far the most comfortable boots I’ve had for construction, also the least durable sadly, have had eyelets break off in the past.

[@EssenceofPureFlavor]

Keens are cheap for sure. Red Wing it depends a lot on the model. A pair of 875s would probably be as good or better than Thorogoods in every way except maybe break-in, and definitely cost.

[@wpnt37]

@@EssenceofPureFlavor From a utility standpoint, the 875s lack critical features necessary to keep a tradesperson safe and productive. Lack of a safety toe and waterproofing makes the 875 a non-competitor for anyone working outside of a finished space. An 8" boot also adds extra support while helping to keep dirt out. The 875s seem more premium from a fashion standpoint, as is reflected by the marketing on the boot's webpage.

[@EssenceofPureFlavor]

@@wpnt37 The difference between an 875 and the "work" version, 10875, is basically marketing. If an 8" boot is needed, fine, there's also the 10877. Steel toes are an annoyance for most jobs and not present on most Thorogoods either. And waterproofing is pointless on pretty much any boot and you're better off using leather treatments, so that's not much of a selling point imo. Have never owned Thorogoods and I'm not really putting them down, but Red Wing has absolutely earned their reputation. They're solid boots, and definitely not just a fashion statement.

[@sparks701]

I wear those to work everyday as an electrician. Switched from red wing 4 years ago and will probably never go back. Soooooo comfortable. Keep your eyes open for a deal. I pay from $210-$230 for these boots and get a good year or year and a half on the job site from these.

[@jeremyl.7563]

I agree been waiting for the dissecting this exact boot. I also switched from redwings and agree. I've been on this same boot for almost 3 years now. Sole is starting to wear now, mine are alittle more because I have to have steel toes.

[@brandonwayne2343]

What do you think about the lining that's why I'm not gonna buy another pair of thorogoods other then that great boots

[@joesmithe198]

I have the Crazy horse version of these with the heeled sole. I've had them for over 2 years and have put well in excess of 1500 Pipefitters apprentice miles on them. They are BY FAR the most durable and comfortable boots I have ever owned and the only pair where the inner lining had held up COMPLETELY. Not a tear, not a rip, nothing. I just recently had to retire them for now due to the sole just being too worn down. Hopefully I can get them resoled in the near future. 100% worth the money. Could not recommend them more!

[@garysprague2009]

I have the crazy horse version with wedge sole and og moc toes. The crazy horse version seem to be a much tougher break in. Do you think they were a little rough on the break in?

[@joesmithe198]

@@garysprague2009 Not at all for me. Maybe I was just lucky though. They genuinely fit like a glove, minus a little bit of time for the tongue to settle intl a comfortable spot.

[@KimballPrecision]

@@garysprague2009 both pairs of thorogoods I’ve had were terrible to wear for the first 2-3 weeks. I didn’t ease into them, I’d retire the old ones and go to work on the new ones. I think if you slowly took turns wearing the new ones to break them in slowly it would’ve helped but I don’t have time for that when they barely last a year and I never think about buying them early. I’m going with a pair of JK boots next. Thorogoods don’t hold up well enough for me and welding/oilfield shit.

[@zackr6488]

I wear the 1957’s at work every day, but the 6” (814-3600) version. The waterproofing does help (I manage an auto detail shop and car wash, as well as detail). I wouldn’t go in a creek with them, but they have served me well so far. I also clean them and condition the leather once a month. That goes a long way.

[@se7encureton]

Iv been a thorogood man for years now. The stitching in the back is for snowshoes. I remember when these came out. I was really pumped to finally have a waterproof thorogood. Kick ass boot but man if you got the ol ones wet it’s going to make for a hell of a long shift. These boots are the best! A little pricy but you’ll get a true year out of them.

[@kc510]

I have these in a 6” for home use and they’ll probably last a lifetime. On my 5th pair of the standard moc toe for work. The leather outlasts the sole 3:1 in my experience. I average 9,300 steps a day for the entire year and 90%+ of them are in these boots.

[@cle_roknn3742]

I bought a pair of these with a steel toe and “briar pitstop” leather . I’m a forester and work in the woods and I’m at our mill facilities. These are comfortable on the catwalks and concrete at the mill. They were easy to break in. There are some downsides however. While they are great in the mill, they are questionable in the woods. The sole gets covered in mud easily and becomes very slick, almost like skating when walking on a muddy logging road. The boots have very supple leather, but they have scratched easily and showed briar damage from day 1, the scratches are all superficial, but definitely noticeable. Lastly, just like the pair reviewed mine leaked. It was not as much as the test showed, but they are definitely not waterproof like my Gore-Tex hunting boots are. The lining around the heal is also showing some wear. Overall, I wear them on days I plan to go to into the mill and purchased a pair of Georgia loggers to hold me over until my Wesco’s are delivered in a few months.

[@jesseshort8]

How do you like the Georgia Loggers? Was thinking about trying them out since, I'd love a pair of Nick's or White's but I haven't been able to bite the bullet yet, looking for something in the $200-$300 range. I'm a bucket man for a small tree service and have to climb every great once in a while. Would love to hear what you think.

[@cle_roknn3742]

@@jesseshort8 so far so good. I’ve had them for 2 months and wear them 2-3x a week for 9-12 hours a day. They took some breaking in, but once they got comfortable they are about the same as my Thorogoods. Build quality is what you would expect from a boot in the price range, adequate not horrible, but definitely not US hand made standards. The insoles leave a bit to be desired so I’d recommend an upgrade, but that’s my take. Overall, they should last about a year which is what I need them to do. They seem to be waterproof and the lining wicks moisture pretty well. Overall I’d rate them as a “good” for the money. For reference I have the steel toe - lace to toe version, non-insulated. Are they going to be as good as a West Coast boot, absolutely not, but they are much better than some cheap boots I’ve bought. If your a lineman, you may need support for climbing spikes, unfortunately I can’t help you there, I’ve never tried them with spikes. I think there was a review on Amazon that mentioned using spikes with them, you may want to check that out.

[@cle_roknn3742]

I'll give you an update, the Georgia Loggers lasted about 10 months before the sole started to separate. Not the end of the world, kind of expected it. The Weso's were delayed so I canceled the order, could not wait. I got a pair of Franks Patriot's, they never stopped biting my ankles to death, very well made, but just not very well made for my foot. I went back go a Thorogood, not regretting that choice at all ..

[@prestonfields5968]

It's cool you mentioned this company switching over to make boots for the US army during ww1. I just went over this in college US history class this week. To prepare for the war, the government chose the most efficient industrial companies at that time to make and provide supplies for them. If the companies agreed to the contract(which most would due to the crazy amount of money the gov was willing to pay) and gauranteed sale of every product produced. They would have indeed been one of the top boot companies at that time with a pretty solid OEE.

[@angryagain68]

I recently bought a pair of the 1957's just like these, but with a 90 degree heal. (Required by my Company) and in the safety toed version. I have not noticed any problem with "breathability" and I wear Marino wool socks year round. My only "issue" was with the ridiculously large amount of leather in the tongue of the boot. There is SO much extra leather there, that you have to fold it up around the sides in a very specific way, and it created hot spots on my ankles. This was the most difficult part of the break in period. And was quite uncomfortable at times. I had to tie the boots so that they were tight around my foot, but very loose up the ankle. Either the leather softened up, or my ankles just got used to the extra pressure. Either way, they are pretty comfortable now.

[@wvc5150]

Had the exact same issue with mine and I was really questioning my purchase. Once they were broken in, a long uncomfortable process, they were perfect thankfully. They have to address that tongue

[@Loganedward29]

Are you guys sure it's the toungue and not the speed hook? Asking because on these boots and the Nicks Builder pro I noticed ankle bite right were the eyelets are. The leather around them has to softed up with wear before they stop hurting you.

[@angryagain68]

@@Loganedward29 no. It’s the excessive amount of leather used for the tongue. It’s so excessive it has to be folded again and again and creates “hit spots” on your ankles.

[@Loganedward29]

@angryagain68 I'm struggling to see it. I may just be missing it. Or mine could just fold more naturally. The 8 inch model I have just rest right inside the boot and I never notice it.

Used to wear redwings, bought these exact boots and they are by far the best I’ve ever owned. I’m about to buy my third pair, normally last me about 2 years as an electrician!

[@jimdemetre]

I wear the TH814-4141 (aka 8" Flyway with the black, heeled sole) daily in my urban landscaping work. I found them extremely comfortable right out of the box. They've held up well, and so far they've been quite waterproof, even when saturated by water from broken irrigation lines. The only downside is that the soles are wearing out a bit faster than expected, probably from all my walking on pavement. But even at $300, getting a new pair every year would be worth it.

[@jimdemetre]

I've owned lots of boots, including Redwing Heritage (fantastic leather, flimsy soles, uncomfortable footing with poor arch support) and White's Smoke Jumpers (perfect fit after long break-in, went for 5 years before I had to resole, they really do prevent fatigue, still working hard). I also own shoes by Allen Edmonds and Rancourt. I bought these because they were waterproof, incredibly soft to the touch, and so good looking.

[@stringlarson1247]

I have a pair of this TH814-4141 with the black sole as well as an older pair that are not the 'maxwear' sole. The material on the older (5 yrs?) seems a little harder than the 'maxwear'. Pavement, especially older, rougher does a number on the 'maxwedge'. I have no idea if they are different materials. It may be more in the way I use them. I tend to put more pavement miles on the black ones.

[@ttopsnturbos]

I used to use a pair of Thorogood 8in steel toes back when I worked in a naval shipyard as a welder. Some days I would spend 8 hours scooting around on the metal floor to weld, that little extra leather on the heal helped to prevent excess wear in my experience my old red wings had a blow out because of the wear to the back of the boots and on the side of the heal.

[@zepedrofd]

Thanks to your videos, I have come to appreciate even more than before how boots are made! I have a pair of army boots I love and I'm sure would be interesting to cut: they are french army rangers (brodequin/rangers) model of 1952 (also known as Algeria model, because of that war). They have a really nice simple thick natural brown leather. You still find them new from stock but being so old, they need a new sole...the rubber didn't stand storage. Most online pictures don't do them justice because they are from storage. Just treat them once and they become beautiful!

I was torn between these and the traditional thorogoods in trail crazy horse. Went ti the crazy horse. The tongue was what made me go with the regular pair.

Question : Always wondered who made boots for Sears in the 60s that looked almost identical to these? (sans the heel stitch) Dad got them for us to hike up mountains. They were comfortable great boots.

I send all my crew men on the jobsite to your channel and research boots for construction.. Most men honestly know a handful of work boots.. Just about every-guy I know wear Ariat, Red Wings, Wolverine and cheaper styles Brahma, Herman, Skecher work boots and Under Armour.. I recommend Ariat Rebar Flex $200 they're what %90 construction workers wear in Texas

I have the thorp good flyways, and after only 2 years the welt is cracking in multiple places

I’ve owned two pairs of these and a pair of the 804-4210s. I’m a millwright and these are stupidly waterproof. I’ve stood in water and had dry socks every time. My danner qaurrys, although awesome in almost every way, are not good at keeping the water out. I recommend the crap out of these if you want your feet dry.

[@boomstickpd79]

I bought this boot 2 years ago. They are pretty good but they don’t provide a EE WIDTH. I thought after break in the leather would stretch and shape to my wide foot, but unfortunately it didn’t. I don’t know if it because I have the steel toe version for work. Also the second speed hook digs into my ankle so I skip that during lace up. I still wear every day for 8+ hrs/ day.

They do make a EE. I down size half a size and get EE every single time.

On my 4th pair these are great boots pricey but worth the money!

Best boots I've owned other than my north western Frank's boots. But not apple to apples.

I would consider using a cordless grinder with a diamond blade or carbide to cut your boots instead of the nife

[@esotericcommonsense6366]

Got em before they raised the prices, pretty sure less than 200 about 4 years ago, still kicking, occasionally wear, probably wouldn't buy again if they're more pricey now

[@brandong2040]

No matter how many times I watch you cut a boot in half my stomach still turns when you take the knife to the boot.

Great video. Can you create playlists for the moctober series and mitusa series?

[@frankgonzalez3822]

Appreciate the information. Looking to buy work boots. Ok with the non-waterproof boot testing. Fiberglass shank, prefer metal, but fiber glass is ok. The low puncture resistance is a bit of a concern, but not overly concerned. Missing the insert foot pad (Poron layer 19:15 in video) and the leather heel backing (counter cover 17:50 of video) can be overcome. I can purchase inserts and heel pads , but for $320 I would not want to have to purchase these items. The non-leather welt (12:05 in video) is the final deal killer for me.

[@leonidas-spearhead]

I bought some back in 2016, they only lasted 7-9 months before ripping. Maybe a cheap set, but that’s my experience with them.

[@cm0cm]

These look amazing in black with the cream wedge sole…

[@aurumbuilingcorp]

I have these boots. They are on there third sole now and still going. This will prob be last sole I put on but they are prob 5-6 yrs old now.

Hey Weston!😃 I was wondering if you could examine the platform sneakers from Alexander McQueen. Would be really interesting! The opinions from people are very mixed regarding the quality of the leather and the comfort of the shoe. Thanks for sharing amazing content with us already.✌️😄❤️

[@tonysoprano4883]

I'd love to see how a pair of Novesta shoes compare to other canvas shoes in the same price range. My Novesta's are my favourite pair of shoes and I've worn them through everything.

[@basic-decaf]

Had high hopes for this boot, but they have a fatal design flaw when compared to the OG Thorogoods not mentioned in the video. My last 2 pairs of OG Thorogoods lasted me 3 years each, I love Thorogood, so thought I'd give these a try. I've seen a few other reviewers touch on it, but everyone's built a little different. The issue - for some reason the upper has much less material "width" when compared to the OG Thorogoods, and so the eyelets and the hooks are positioned more outward and wider on your foot and ankle. This can be seen most clearly with how wide the tongue looks when it's laced tight. On my pair, even when lacing the boot as tight as possible, the first hooks above the eyelets land right on the inner ankle bone. Combine that hook placement with the tongue folding in right below it at the same location and wow, there is SO much pressure placed right on the inner ankle bone. They're extremely painful, I had bruises after a couple hours, hoping I could break them in. Ended up returning them and got my 3rd pair of OG Thorogoods - which are still perfect. I checked and the first hook is ~1" away from the ankle bone on the OGs, perfectly comfortable.

Can You Do The New Blundstone Sneaker Boot Review And Cut? Really Curious On What They Did With That Boot or "Sneaker"

[@wildcaughtfirewood1511]

Man, I wish Thorogood would offer leather welts and an unlined version of the 1957 Mocs.

[@user-cs1ne8gx9u]

Speaking from experience the plastic welt is a non starter for me. One winter and it'll be split every inch and any water resistance they had is gone.
