Great Boots Even Better Customer Service...
By: Dylan
Thorogood has put out yet another high quality steel toe workboot that works just as hard as the Americans who handcrafted it. It breathes, but is water tight; sturdy, but flexible. And to boot (pun intended) I initially ordered the wrong size and Working Person Store customer service worked with me to get me the right boot. Thank you so much for supplying a great product and giving me personal attention in customer service!

Durable steel toe boots made in the USA...
By: QuadK
This pair of made in America boots by Thorogood is very sturdy and will endure tough work without a problem. This model features a steel toe, but if you do not need this type of protection, you can save a bit of money and get the soft toed version of the boot instead. Another good feature about this boot is the thick wedged Vibram sole which has decent traction in wet conditions (use a waterproofer to protect the leather), and the grooves are relatively small so large chunks of mud won’t get stuck in them. Also, the sole is welted, so you can get them re-soled in the future. For sizing, go down about half or even a whole size from your normal size. After being broken-in, these Thorogood boots are comfortable to wear hours at a time.

Practicality > Tradition...
By: aflex
As much as I love my Red Wing IR's and GTs, I actually find that Thorogood made a better wedge sole work boot than the so-called iconic Red Wing 875's. The biggest reason is of course the price tag. At a hundred and forty-five bucks versus Red Wing's two hundred and forty, these makes a more practical work boot that you don't have to pamper. Also, for reasons beyond me, Red Wing has stubbornly stuck to using a crepe sole for the 875's, despite a rubber sole being not only more durable, but also significantly better on snow and ice, and less susceptible to grime and grease. The Thorogoods also have a sleeker profile, which i personally prefer over the bulkier and chunkier toe box on the 875. Also... steel toe. Red Wing doesn't have it. This one does.
