THOROGOOD BOOT REVIEW (AFTER 1 YEAR OF EVERYDAY USE)

[@ThorogoodUSA]

Nice work, Austin. Our other outsole is in our American Heritage line is the MaxWear 90. Have a great day!

[@Johndada517]

A company that actually talks to its users holy crap 👍👍👍👍

[@ThorogoodUSA]

@@Johndada517 We try. We're people too :-) Sure I've missed some stuff, but can't win them all. Have a great day.

[@arosswelding]

Thanks. Very good to know.

[@Chrisrk11]

Just bought my first pair today

[@Johndada517]

@@Chrisrk11 I've had mine almost 2 months now they are super stiff at first but I have zero complaints about the boots so far

[@nicolaswalton9453]

I wear Georgia logger boots every day for 12+ hours. They’re great. Steel toe, everything proof, have 400 gram insulation, steel shank in the arch. Somehow breathable in the heat and feel like a warm hug in the winter. No matter the brand you should be happy to put your boots on in the morning, if you’re not, you’re either in the wrong boots or the wrong job!

[@nemideergoon1844]

I've got a pair of Georgia loggers, 8 years old still going.

You swamp them with sweat? Using ariats and need an upgrade

Have a pair going on two years of wearing them and they are totally worth every penny plus union made and made in America

[@arosswelding]

I believe it. Moc toe?

[@adamhudson8173]

Omni 8" plain brown toe

[@mooch6666]

I retired mine after 4 years. Resoled twice. They are 7years old now and I still use them around the house lol.

[@BoKnows1978]

Got a pair. They're my favorite. Obenaufs oil and clean them religiously. Time for a resole. Union plumber

[@jonon1989]

When I was hanging iron I had mine last 4 years easy I oiled them my self and had put fr laces day 1. And since I started welding I'm on 1 year and there still going strong.

[@arosswelding]

Ya I need to get better about oilin my boots. That would make them last even longer. 👌😎 thanks for the reminder.

[@ronsmith9251]

I bought a pair of Thorogood steel toes for auto mechanic work. Standing on concrete all day, getting exposed to all kinds of chemicals, and they did pretty good. They’ve always been pretty comfortable, and stayed warm in the winter months. A fast hook at the top popped off, other than that I think it’s a pretty well made boot.

[@joshualymer6568]

How long did they last in a shop I’m a mechanic as well I’ve tried Doc Martins switched to Red Wings problem is steel toe always where’s threw

[@pangsbricks8412]

I own 2 pair of Thorogood. I wear them everyday in a fab shop. By far some of the best boots I have ever had.

[@wardrice3]

I'm a carpenter i've worn both Thorogood and Redwing exclusively for as long as I can remember. I like Redwing bot I love Thorogood . Austin you should consider getting those boots resoled if and when your soles wear out. I have a pair of Tgoods I've resoled twice love em.

[@arosswelding]

That’s testimony itself, the fact that the tops last longer than the soles. 👌😎 love it

[@Schmitty1069]

Danner Quarry. 2 years so far as a Gas Tech Welder for a utility in Wisconsin. Get all four seasons and they are still holding strong.

[@jorrick66]

Glad to hear you’ve had good luck with them. I’m on my third pair in a year. First pair the waterproof liner separated, second pair the stitching down the lace holes busted, and just got my third pair two days ago. Luckily Danner stands by their 365 day warranty, however I’m not paying that much for boots to have them fall apart several times a year again.

[@danweiberg2630]

Commercial/industrial roofer in Chicago, my soft leather thorogoods are on year 2 now(non steel toe) and they have been exposed to nasty chemicals like naphtha and excess heat from torches n stuff and I constantly kick ISO boards into square and the leather drags across abrasive fiberglass a whole lot, they are a tad beat up toes are covered in shoe goo, but other than that they are water proof still, and damn comfy I do 12+ hour days regularly in them hot or cold... plenty of grip on ladders and wet/snow/icy surfaces would buy another pair for 190 at farm and fleet in a heartbeat..

[@Billy-hx3zi]

The old farm and barn, Midwest’s gift from God 😆

[@kylehall5760]

I first bought the non steel toe 90 degree angle pair. I'm going on two years with them they are still holding up perfect. After they break in you can't find a better pair of boots or shoes for that matter that feel as good. Six months ago I bought a steel-toed pair for my job that requires. Just like any good quality boot breaking was a little tough for a week or two. I wear these boots 60 +hours a week they hold up. The souls are tough but they wear down but that's the price you pay for the squishy comfort. Like the soft toe once broke in they are the only thing I want on my feet. I did go with different insoles with better arch support. By the way if you put a little oil and clean those up you can send them in and get the 90 degree angle on them so you don't have to go through the break-in. Thorogood will replace the souls and make them look as good as they can for a little over $100 that's not a bad price to not go to the break-in again

[@peterolvera9181]

I have owned 2 pairs of Thorogood boots. Both pairs were 8 in , steel toe , waterproof. One was defined heel the other pair was wedged. Both are over 2 years old I just swapped them out if I’m working on a jobsite that requires a defined heel ( Refinery) . I do notice the way I walk dragging my heal wears down the sole but other then that I clean them up and apply mink oil every so often. Change the inserts or laces when needed. I’m a Union piledriver. Take care of your feet.

[@malkolmambrose4428]

I wear Ariat steel toe work and western boots. Their comfy for me and i like them.

[@TheMncountryboy]

Red Wing Boots. But, being from minnesota, and living 20 minutes from their hometown, you gotta support local. I love my 2414 Redwings.

[@graham4921]

I got Ariat square toes and I love em

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

I have a pair of Thoroughgoods from 2011 that I still wear. I bought them for my work as a line cook in a superbusy kitchen. I wore them for 10 hour shifts and man thy took a beating and still good for yard work. As Ace Ventura would say "Like a glove!"

[@1776AxlePowerDM]

I've only worn Danner Quarry Steel Toe in the Nubuck leather. They are extremely comfortable and look great. I'm horrible at taking care of the leather so I go through them quick beings I work with water, chemicals and salt. It dries out the leather very quick but they have always been great boots. I'm interested in Thorogoods and really like the American heritage. Great video

[@Peep18m]

I wear timberland premiums. Best boot for roofing hands down. I’ve had my current pair 2yrs time for new ones now. We don’t need steel toes where I work at. We do residential and commercial roofing. I have a pair of redwing insulated Irish setters as well. I love the setters but working nothing beats the 6” timberland premium for my job. I wear the setters around town. They’re a real high quality boot. If there’s one thing any hard working man should do it’s do NOT cheap out on boots. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@caseynelson7491]

I’ve always had problems with steel toes digging into my foot and toes in places and being all around uncomfortable. Got a pair of Thorogoods with the other sole and absolutely fell in love with them. They will be my work boot for life.

[@jefffiorin]

I have a pair of carharrt composite toed boots, I have had them for 18 months and they are very comfortable specially in the winter.👍

[@arosswelding]

I haven’t heard much about carharrt Boots’s 🤔 interesting.

[@blainenelson2319]

I have owned numerous pairs of the Thorogood Moc-Toes with the soft and safety toes, never had an issue with any of them. Just ordered a pair of the Thorogood Wellington’s and can’t wait for them to get here. I’m a diabetic as well and I’ve found that the bamboo socks (I like the EcoSox hikers) are the ticket for wear with any of my work boots. No blisters and comfortable even on hot days, they really pull the sweat away from your feet.

[@sparks701]

Have the same boot but 6". Great summer and spring boot. But when temps fall and snow flies it's my Redwings!! 2 favorite brands. 26 years as a residential electrician in the Chicago area so we see major weather changes and these are the only boots I'd buy.

[@safdarally5690]

I have been wearing this brand for 10 yrs doing structural welding in NYC …. Great wear

[@henryhall8213]

Ariat workhogs are my go to boot, had a pair of round toes, just got a pair of square toes and I love em.

[@MarcoPolo-zc6zo]

I rotate Thorogood Wellingtons with a heel and Danner Quarry steel toes. I’ve had a pair of the Thorogood 6” moc soft toes for a long time, too. All US made and both companies have good recrafting/resoling programs. A nice old lady downtown does my moc toes, though. I prefer Vibram soles because I rip through the regular Thorogood soles. If you send in for resoling to either plan on about 6 weeks. My Quarry boots are better in ice and snow. Occasionally cleaning them up with saddle soap, oil, wax and weatherproofing will make em last a lot longer.

[@DCS026]

I have a pair of Thorogood slip on boots. Best pair, hands down I have ever had. I can wear them all day and never give them a second thought. From what I understand Thorogood is a subdivision of Redwing and made in Wisconsin.

[@pilgrim666butters]

I have rocked Thorogoods for over 13 years now. They are the best boot.

[@Bobby_Bennett98]

I have thorogood Non moc toe. 8 inch, wedge sole, composite toe and waterproof. Best boot I’ve ever owned!

[@taz200032]

I got a pair of Danner steel toe and they are pretty dang good I'd say. Takes a little to break them in but they are pretty solid. Quite comfortable as well

[@richardreser150]

Have a pair that I have worn for the past 3 years in a manufacturing plant. Great on concrete, coolant and other debris on the production floor. Gets more comfortable as time goes on. Going to buy the welling ton version of the American Heritage tobacco tan boot.

[@iwasnamedafterbatman6208]

I bought CAT 8in lace up composite toe. It grips well in the mud but doesn’t hold a lot of muck. I use them for my farrier business and mobile fabricating. The boots are just over a year old and still in great shape. Only $120 too

[@calebwilkins]

Have two or three pair of redwing 606 boots got close to 4 years of use with proper care. I work in a steel stamping plant as a press operator the soles and leather stands up with the different oils and fluids. Having a shank in the sole helps with stability when climbing around to fix problems in the press also being America made is a good plus I will rebuy them

[@blazenapier2788]

I’m a pipeline surveyor. I wear the same boot but non steel toe. Way more comfortable than the steel toe. The slip on feel like house shoes and are super comfortable but I don’t like working in them. I’d stick with the same boots just non steel toe. The other soles are a lot harder than the wedge.

[@Jabberwok28]

Union carpenter here. I have the 8” waterproof composite toe boot. Had them since 2016. Finally giving up the ghost. So, I know the aren’t as expensive as Nicks or Whites, but I cannot complain.

[@jonnymac31]

I have the exact same boots but a 6 inch. I'm an hvac/r tech. The wedge sole is awesome on factory floors. Super comfortable. I'm having trouble finding them this year. Already had a local vendor and one online vendor cancel my order after a couple months of not getting them. I have a pair ordered now and have been waiting about a month so I'll be interested to see if they actually come through.

[@jarhead6153]

Thanks for the review Austin….on sale at Amazon now are still $200, reg price seemed to creep up to $250.

[@mario3804]

I love my Thorogood boots if you do a little bit of saddle soap and mink oil you could get more life out of them. Simple maintenance can last a long time also the great thing of getting a resole you can get a sole that best fits your needs. Good video Sir.

[@markm0000]

I agree. Soap and brush them down. Air dry for a few hours. Then coat in oil or wax. Leave out in the sun to soak in good and wipe off excess.

[@danielhady3021]

Have 2 pairs of Thorogoods. I agree that the traction isn't as good because of the wedge sole, but they are so comfortable. I have a water proof and non waterproof pair in 6" with steel toe. One pair is over two years old and the other is over a year old. Have been extremely happy with them.

[@full-sizebroncogarage263]

Lol “y’all don’t work hard enough” on a serious note I’m hard on my boots, my last pair of throughogoods didn’t last a year. My current pair I’ve had a little over a year. Kicking a shovel the bottoms get chewed up quick. Laces could be better, one of the soles are staring to split apart and talk to me. On a positive note, they are the only pair of steel toes that have held up to crawling under houses. They are very comfortable and have lasted the longest of all the boots I’ve tried.

[@Spencer_Knight]

You doing foundation repair? That’s what happened to my boots when I was working foundation repair

[@BIGJONSALAS46312]

Have the same pair but with a defined heel, had them 2 years look and feel amazing and I use them on the railroad.

Don't forget you can resole these boots! Most cobblers should even be able to replace with a more traditional out sole. Best part is, no need to break in new boots. The fit will only get better.

[@jesseslater728]

I am on my second pair of 8-inch Moc Toe wedge sole. My first ones were steel toe, these are not. These are both lighter and more comfortable. I started wearing wedge sole boots, when I was pulling tanker trailers. Climbing around on the catwalk up on top, a high heel boot nearly brought me down two or three times. Wedge soles are less of a trip hazard, in that sort of situation. They are sort of equivalent to an "on "on-road," tire, however. I'm leaning toward getting a pair of logger boots, four times when more traction, more insulation, or waterproof traits are required. They will probably be Thorogood, however.

[@jddickens7086]

I have the same pair but non wedge sole and I love them. Being on my feet 12+ hrs a day I have no complaints. When these wear out I'll definitely buy the same pair again

[@Daniel-dw3pi]

My dad recommended me Thorogood boots when I started my first shipyard job nearly ten years ago. Just got me another pair today!

[@Dale37]

I do not have any experience with Thorogood boots, I have had great luck with Ariat. I decided to try Justin for the first time with my newest pair of slip on steel toed boots and have been disappointed. I have had them for three weeks and my feet have hated them everyday, so I will be buying another pair this weekend of a different brand.

[@Joecabal]

I love my thorogoods my fist pair lasted 1-1/2, the wedge is good for ironwork, like walking the beam, climbing column, and laying deck.

[@te7867]

I have been a lifelong Red Wing 2408 user. I tried the Thorogood 804 4210. i will say, I am not happy with the sole, not a big fan of the wedge. Very slippery even on lite rain. I will never buy a wedge sole again as i work in construction outside and it slips on anything. However, if I think of just the boot it fares much better. So i bought the 804 4378 and a much, much better experience. I got over a year on each boot but the wedge wore wierd and made me walk funny. The 4378 was just fine, and although i do like the Red Wing more, this boot holds its own but I will see if it makes me change from the Red Wing..

[@colbyrazer5439]

I have the exact pair you have and the lighter tone leather non steal toe. Own a landscape business and when I have jobs where I’m clearing land and it’s a mud hole the waterproof comes in handy but having that lighter weight pair for just mowing several yards a day Is perfect.

[@Spudderr]

I’ve got a pair of thorogood slip ons and I absolutely love them. I work on equipment in the shop mostly and for being on concrete there is no better boot in my eyes. The ones I have have a small heel and they have little spurs in the arch to help with grip climbing on things. As for a field boot the only thing they lack is being waterproof but I’ve had gore tex boots that have leaked more. 9/10 boot for me as well

[@dommeister4004]

Ordered the same pair of boots and lasted me about 5 months and started killing my feet and back. Took about three to four days to get them broke in and couldn’t complain one bit up until the feet and back pain started. For the price I feel like they need to hold up and last a lot longer. Work in the oil field doing well workover truck driving welding pretty well anything. Oiled them plenty. Don’t know what went south with them but switched back to my redwings and feet felt better after two days.

[@621deezy]

I wore thorogood, georgia, and timberland pro boots back to back at my local boot barn. georgia boots were the most comfortable hands down. my wife also agreed comfort wise. we'll see how long the georgia"s hold up

[@toddgdfznh1526]

Red wing 8inch moc toe. Or irish setter 8inch. Best 2 boots ive ever worn. Supper comfortable and durable. Only 2 boots i wear now. Have had this pair of redwing for a year now and im a union laborer being super rough on my boots. Kicking a shovel all day, running a jack hammer ect. They hold up great. An customer service has always been great. Have previously worn wolverine, carolina, pretty much have had them all. Thorogood makes a boot of same quality an also love danner.

[@SHOWTIME070]

[@1badwelder836]

I used to wear a variety of work boots, from chippewa's to georgia's to ariat. I started getting plantar fasciitis. Did some research, and thorogood's were highly recommended for people with this condition. I've been wearing the 8" moc toe heritage boots for 2 years now, and my pain went away. Should've started wearing these boots 16 years ago when I started pipelining. Never buying another boot again.

Dang that’s crazy. Good to hear though.

[@Tikimohn]

First pair, got wides cuz nothing felt good and even then the first 3 days my pinky toe felt a lil smashed halfway through the day. I like them. Broke in quick. Get the composite toe, they're light. You put some mileage on your shoes for sure, treat your leather a bit, it'll keep it from cracking and maintain the leather longer

[@bcornett501]

Yes I have 3 pairs what’s nice is you can have new soles put on them too

[@dashatony2973]

[@stephenmccoy3934]

I don't know if I have the same opinion as everybody else, but I wear Matterhorn mining boots. They're pretty comfortable and they don't take too long to break in, I've had everything from generators to 11 inch lift eyes fall on mine and it never fased them. They are kinda heavy if you get the steel toe met guard ones but I don't really wear anything else

[@soylentgreen2065]

Ok, so you've had them a while, how are they? Pros and cons?

[@NathanBake]

I love my Thorogoods. You can definitley get a couple years out of them, and more if you resole them. I prefer the heritage, non-waterproof style beacuse they don't have a liner and are less hot/easier to break in. If you don't need the steel toe, the non-safety toe feels considerably lighter. Thorogood also makes a new slip on, but my feet are too narrow to use them. The only boot I've found that's a little better quality (but harder to break in) is the White's Perry or Red Wing Heritage moc toe, which are both considerably pricier.

I genuinely like lace up better then slip on. This pair is also non wedge sole... feels like it grips ladder rungs better but could snag on something of your walking beams or iron work... I do metal roofing ... Pretty comfortable boot . Actually my favorite boot I’ve had

[@PeteAmes19]

Had both wedge AS WELL as the MAXWear 90 heel, and I will say, the heel is better for roofers (Steel building welder here) but...they pronate baaaaaad, even with orthopedic correcting soles. I basically trashed the ones with the heel since they are so pronated, it's a shame but they offer no use anymore. Wedges have lasted much longer (going on 1 year, already been resoled once), whereas the heels by 6 months, NuShoe told me they were not repairable. I work hard, and occasionally abuse my boots, but nothing crazy. I take care of my wedges and they're still walking strong. Thorogood for life. If you work in the mud/wet concrete cutting area, I recommend their WP wellingtons, just don't treat them like you would the American Heritages, they just aren't as tough, though I must say, very comfortable for pull ons.

[@PJMunoz21]

@@dippingtv5740 Sweet. I finally got a pair and can't wait to try them out.

A good way to break in a new pair of boots is to weight them down and soak them over night submerged in water,I just used my bath tub and then the next day just wear them,it sucks starting out the day with wet boots but as they dry they conform to your feet

Red wing wing shooter and a pair of Justin square toes my redwings I’ve had for over a year and as long as you keep up with oiling then they last for a while but my friends lasted 3 months with out oiling them

My justin square toe is my other favorite boots. They last me for a couple years at a time. I walk on railroad blast and they super hard on boots.

Hey are you talking about the wingshooter from Irish setter? ( Redwing )

Hell Austin , as union hand you only got 3 months of use on them boots in your 1 year review! At that rate you should get 5 to 6 years use. Like your channel, keep up the good videos.

I only been wearing Timberlands Pro. They are good boots but I am looking into purchasing a Wolverine brand work boot. The latest one I seen online is the Wolverine - Hellcat Ultraspring Carbonmax 6” work boot.

Not really in the same arena but I have a pair of hiking boots that I bought in 1978! Just had them resoled last year. I wear them mostly in the winter and of course when I go hiking.

My first steel toe is made in bangladesh. I bought a 6" floorhand wolverines. So far so good. I live near the border of tijuana mexico and people usually just wear sneakers everywhere.

Thorogood boots have been the most comfortable boot I've ever owned. I will see how long they last.

I've been wearing the same pair for 2 months shy of 4 years. They are worn everyday farming, metal working and landscaping. They have been re-soled, and cleaned by a cobbler. I also had the tongue repaired on one of the boots. If there was one thing I would do differently, it would be a full gusset on the tongue to keep dirt and trash out of the boot.

How much does a re sole and cleaning cost? And is the new sole the same as original?
