Nice review. Im all fairness about the soles, they were designed for working on concrete and man- made surfaces all day, day after day on the worksite. basically they were designed to be as comfortable on your feet and back as possible, while still being tough as nails. That being said, these soles are like greased lightning on ice and packed snow just as you have said.
I’m considering getting pair of these, myself. I work in a Toyota assembly plant, so I’m on my feet for 8-10.5 hours a day. The soles on the Timberland Pro Anti-Fatigue boots seem to want to come off...
@@bluegrassman3040 I completely agree about the Timberlsnd Pro line. I have had two pairs and while they are great outside and I use them for slippery work, they are ultimately glued on soles and not re- solable. the biggest benefit of the Thorogood is that you break them into your foot and then can keep resoling those comfortable shoes multiple times. I end up using mine as my go to shoes because of how comfortable they are.
@@UBRLND-X I had to add Dr Scholls inserts to my Timberlands. They are not quite as comfortable than previous pairs of the same brand and style I’ve have in the past. I’m strongly considering a pair of the Thorogoods.
Over here in the U.K. I wear 8" Thorogoods everyday when working on car restoration .. most comfortable boots I've ever put on my feet .. like wearing toe protected slippers .. THEY LOOK DAMNED GOOD TOO.
@@valentinexyz regarding sizing I find it hard to recommend .. with the Thorogoods I wear a size larger and they fit very comfortably with thick work socks. But this may be different for you so try them on before purchasing if you can.
Bought these boots from midwestboots.com and got very disappointed, I had very high espectations from these boots but once out of the box I put them in 4 inches of water to check the “waterproof” and they got soacked inside, other reviews show problems with the sole peeling off the boots 🤦🏽♂️ $260 dollars for nothing, I had to pay an extra $20 dollars to return them to midwest.. very disappointed..
@@CurramberoNY Sorry you had a bad experience. Sounds like you contacted the dealer, and hopefully they help you out. You are also welcome to call our customer service department. www.thorogoodusa.com/contact/
@@Hotrod8677 Like I said in the video, they are terrible on snow. Although I have not had a problem on smooth wet surfaces. I also have never tried it on, say, a wet metal roof. Highly recommend the boot. But obviously every boot has they're purpose.
@@longshotmaster The front right corner of the left boot’s sole has completely chipped off and i’m most definitely going to have to use sno-seal or something else to water proof them. I still like them, but thorogood’s customer service is easily some of the worst.
@@la_screw i have bought boots from boot shops and I've also ordered from Amazon and other websites and in my experience the ones i got off amazon fell apart. The ones at the bookstores seem to be higher quality or better made. I think they sell the defective shoes to amazon
A good boot is one of the best investments you can make. I was looking to get the exact model as I want the waterproofing. Its either going to be these or the Danner Quarry, but like you my favorite look is the mock toe which the Danner Quarry is not
Without a doubt! I have never had Danner boots, but have heard great things. I do not aim to be a review channel here. All I use is what I strictly use day to day. And Thorogood has never let me down. And until the day they do, I will continue to use them.
I had danners but it seems they have changed some things honestly a pair lasts me not even a year now when they use to give me a min of 2. Plus they are so hard to find these days.
I owned red wings,they sucked didn't last that long hurt my feet, bought some other top name boots and own a pair of Thorogoods right now they ok but for 200$ The best boot I owned a pair of 6" Danner for $70 bucks I loved those boots worked 10hrs a day on hard concrete they felt like wearing a pair of slippers got them from Harry's Army Surplus in Dearborn
Harley is rad! Just got some of the same exact boots today, the in the right boot is a Lil weirded out from packaging I suppose but do you ever have the same deal going on with any of the ones you've got?
I just purchased my first 6 inch version of this boot. No breaking period. I’ve always worn red wings. I am not a blue-collar worker, but I love boots. This company might be a new winner for me.
Thanks brother...shoot I could talk boots all day ha....got my first pair of thurogoods looking forward to trying them...I returned a pair of wolverines oh boy....not a good boot....hurt my feet bad
That is a problem I only seem to run into when I get a brand new pair of them. I just start by causing one little fold in it and hold it down with the laces. then after a couple of days it just seems to stay and I never have a real problem with it again.
@@charlesw665 thing of it kind of like a hot dog bun. But I dont just pinch it in half, I kind of put a fold in the middle. It will basically do it, itself when you tie the boot with your foot in it.
I ordered a pair yesterday from Midwest Boots for 30 bucks off! $174.99 + tax and free shipping! Thank you Midwest Boots! The best ever!! BTW, good video Brother.
@@bluegrassman3040 Hello BB, they are outstanding! They last me a year and are super comfortable! Money well spent! This is my 4th. Pair. I even wear them with shorts! Haha.
I would definitely get the non-waterproof version. Even up here in Michigan they do get a little hot. I have worked a few summers in these same boots and were fine, but we rarely get over 90 degrees. we just recorded a review on the new 6" non-waterproof, uninsulated version that will be uploaded this Thursday.
For about a hundred bucks and knowing a good shoe cobbler, you can get a black vibrex wedge sole with big traction cleets on them sewed on. I've done 4or 5 pairs like that when the soft souls wear down. Make a good boot awesome for the winter muck
In my experience over (much) time the sole will start to crumble from walking on tied rebar and unfinished poured walls. A good thing tho, they can crumble all they want and still remain waterproof whereas redwings will crack instead and that water slips right thru to your socks.
Danner used to make the best boot. 30 years later we are now trying to find the best boot...but its long gone now. old school Danners are long gone. USA quality has declined but still excels over any China made garbage.
I wore the workman for close to 30 years and they just discontinued them. I have been scrambling to find a decent replacement. I have narrowed the choice to Red Wing, Whites, and the Thorogood’s.
I love the Redwing 877 if I could skip the break in period. Thorogood has little to no break in. So. I wear my 877 everywhere except work. Work I wear my Thorogoods.
Would highly recommend to not use in any instance you are not working on flat surfaces or dirt, and keep away from anything slippery. They are great boots for what they are for, but Logging traditionally has higher heels and deeper treads for working in those conditions for traction. These boots are more so for comfort & Durability in construction trades.
Sounds like you should order a pair of American hand made Nick Boots. That way you can custom order a pair Moc boots any arch support, leather, color, welt sole, heritage sole, hardware, ect. It may cost $500-600 but you take care if them they last you decades. They sell them size 3-15 widths from B-FF. I feel you about the dog my English Mastiff as a young puppy ate my $400 boots. Luckily my high school English teacher & her husband retired from teaching when her father in-law passed & left them his shoe repair shop. She fixed them for price of leather.
Boots of all types are dependent on the trade and options of the wearer. I watch a ton of boot reviews and have a huge collection of every type imaginable. I'm a collector and well.. just love boots. Wesco, Whites etc etc. Somebody STOP me.
For sweaty feet wear Darn Tough Merino Wool socks. They have thinner ones, that will stick wick away moisture and keep your feet feeling dry all day. It's all I wear and I've converted several coworkers.
I disagree about those soles being bad on ice. All shoes and boots suck on ice. Its ice. The only way to make it better is to use some of those metal cleat things you can clip onto your boot. Those soles are awesome. My favorite thing about them is that they're easy to clean. I HATE lug soles. You come home from work and you've got mud caked on and trying to clean it off is a pain in the ass. With the soles like the Thorogoods use its dead simple, scrape them on anything, then get them wet on the bottom and walk through grass sliding your feet. Great work boots! The best...
USA made high quality is my go to but Ariat square toe Workhogs for whatever reason are my favorites. They just have the nitch in comfort and style that I love.
Thanks a lot Mr for the presentation of these beautiful boots. I understood that you would like to present other models also of boots and I will be pleased to watch them in your videos but if you could please choose the most beautiful ones to show us cause i would like to buy some but the most beautiful ones and for me the most beautiful ones are those which are full with designs as to be extravagant designs please show us so i can make a choice and I would be very pleased Thanks a lot Mr. Bye
Wore Thorogoods for about 9-10 years. Seems like they offer these shoes in these sizes and those boot in those sizes. Meaning every boot is available in "some" sizes. I took the plunge and went total custom and have never looked back. None other can compare to a full custom boot. Try it and you'll agree. Btw, my customs have a slight negative heel ,coming from 10 years of wearing wedge soles I didn't want the traditional custom boot like fire jumpers wear. Every since I switched to custom boots, I wear DARN TOIGH socks. Made in USA and they'll replace them FOR FREE when you wear them out. Get some
My right-boot is rubbing on my heel. Thorogood recommends wearing either thick socks or double up on the socks during the break in period. Hope that slip on that foot goes away
That dog is gorgeous 😂 I’m hear in Michigan as well, great review! I’m gonna get some. I drive truck for ‘yellow’ with lots of dock work on concrete all day.
I have always wore 10 1/2 everything, whether it be red wing or thorogood or any other brand I've worn. Although, If I wanted I could probably fit into a 10 instead of a 10 1/2. But they work great. I also have wide feet and need the EE. And these boots work great in the summer. Even when I wear the waterproof ones they are not to hot. But If your up for buying multiple boots like me, I rock the unlined for summer as well.
Luke Marcotte I’m a bootahilic lol I’ve got the gortex red wings and their ok now but I got them mid August and they were definitely warm and still had the new smell plus I’ve wanted to try thorogoods I’ve seen the website Midwest boots has a good selection I’ve heard you can’t buy directly from thorogood
@@irishman485 Nice, I know the feeling with being a boot a holic as well. I've had just about every red wing mom toe boot and I think these thorogoods or on par with or better then their products. I usually buy my boots from small town retailers to support small business so I never tried directly from Thorogood. Plus I like trying things on before I buy online.
Luke Marcotte that’s one reason why I’ve really only bought red wings since theirs 3 stores within 40 minutes of me I’m near Boston I haven’t seen to many places that sell thorogoods your video was very helpful thank you I’ve heard their wedge soles last a lot longer than red wings
Brendan O'Reilly for sure man. I would say they run true to size and right on par with red wing. Wedge sole is 10x better then red wings. And thanks man I appreciate the compliment. You should check out some of my other videos. It’s a series I’m doing called the blue collar power hour. Tell your friends and anybody looking to get in the trades! 💪
Getting ready to purchase the 814-3600. Just bought a pair of 9in wingshooter insulated for hunting love these boots very comfortable. Please tell me the 814-3600(6in) are just as comfortable
6in boot is $239 8in boot is $244 Midwest boots..com I do not know if they are a good company to buy. Amazon has them but you'll put little guys out of business if you buy from them..
I was recently boot shopping and looked at thorogoods, but they came off as cheap looking, especially inside. I've bought boots at Kmart that looked better made. Once I found out also they're union made, that completely killed it for me. Enjoy "your" president, unions.
went to try these on at boot barn and i was blown away at how comfortable they were. just debating now on the color I want and whether I want the wide or the regular fit Would you happen to know if the regular fit ones would stretch a little? I like them tight but they are just a little too tight on the top
They do stretch, dont get wide cause the top rubs a little it will probably be the same issue. You can get the steel toe that def makes the toe area higher
Are those boots safety toe? My feet sweat like shit and don’t know what to do anymore. This summer is literally killing me, I spent 10 hours a day at 95 + degrees everyday.
Just wondering if you ever tried having a pair of these resoled? Maybe getting a vibram sole instead? I heard those vibram sole are supposed to be pretty good on these boots. I am about to order my first pair of thorogoods here pretty soon.
Here is the update as well as my summer boots from Thorogood 💪⚡️

So you’re gonna tell me the tongue doesn’t hurt your ankle where it folds at the bottom
Use a tire groover to groove deeper treads into the sole
Oh shit 👀
Great idea
That’s what Ive been thinking when they get thin, can’t hurt cause they’ll be getting new soles anyway
massive brain

pro tip you should trade the standard soul for the frn vibram outsole. it takes the boot to the 11's
Im definitely going to give this a try, thanks!
What are your thoughts on the tongue? I just bought my first pair in 6" and the tongue bunches so bad I can't even lace them.

To bad they slip on the ice. Deal breaker
411 rules, thorogood is a bad boot
For about a hundred bucks and knowing a good shoe cobbler, you can get a black vibrex wedge sole with big traction cleets on them sewed on. I've done 4or 5 pairs like that when the soft souls wear down. Make a good boot awesome for the winter muck
Hmmm. Vibrex or vibram?
These are great. 3 pairs as well now. I resoled my last pair.
Best boots ever!
Steel
Toe or composite
Just bought a pair of the 6”I’m a fellow Michigander, where about are you in the Great Lakes state?
You must be in the yoop!!!
In my experience over (much) time the sole will start to crumble from walking on tied rebar and unfinished poured walls. A good thing tho, they can crumble all they want and still remain waterproof whereas redwings will crack instead and that water slips right thru to your socks.
I want a girffon
Danner used to make the best boot. 30 years later we are now trying to find the best boot...but its long gone now. old school Danners are long gone. USA quality has declined but still excels over any China made garbage.
I wore the workman for close to 30 years and they just discontinued them. I have been scrambling to find a decent replacement. I have narrowed the choice to Red Wing, Whites, and the Thorogood’s.
Are these slippery on slick surfaces or oily surfaces ?
no they grip well
How are they in winter?
I love the Redwing 877 if I could skip the break in period. Thorogood has little to no break in. So. I wear my 877 everywhere except work. Work I wear my Thorogoods.
Just bought a pair of 814 6”. I’ll stick to my Redwings.
Love my 3800s but that gortex effed my feet up. Gotta let em breath and thats why my 4201s. Only wear my 3800s in the winter now.
I’m looking at these boots but I need to know if they are CSA approved,
I am not sure. maybe ask on they're comment below and see if they respond.
I like mine, so yes, they are maga approved.
After just having back to back pairs of the RW411’s stitching right above my heels blow out I just bought these Thorogoods last night
So these boots would not be ideal for logging?
Would highly recommend to not use in any instance you are not working on flat surfaces or dirt, and keep away from anything slippery.
They are great boots for what they are for, but Logging traditionally has higher heels and deeper treads for working in those conditions for traction.
These boots are more so for comfort & Durability in construction trades.

That's a far superior product. These aren't bad for production boots but they are not in the upper class of nicks, franks, wesco, etc.
Would've asked the very same question. Glad you did. Cheers
It’s definitely a nice boot gotta get me a pare!
Is your shed made from insulated panels?
I used to buy the 678 red wing but they not making any more so I need something good to replace my red wing any recommendations
is the lining like insulation? does it keep your feet warm in colder climates?
I wish I could get a pair with speed hooks
I went from the San Jose’s to the 804 thorogood. Way better boot than the keens.
I just bought a pair of the Thorogood 1957 waterproof boots. Am looking forward to wearing them. Not many reviews on them tho

Getting ready to purchase the 814-3600. Just bought a pair of 9in wingshooter insulated for hunting love these boots very comfortable. Please tell me the 814-3600(6in) are just as comfortable
6in boot is $239
8in boot is $244
Midwest boots..com I do not know if they are a good company to buy.
Amazon has them but you'll put little guys out of business if you buy from them..
Thanks for the review
These are great. I have moved on since my third pair…but I love them.
I was recently boot shopping and looked at thorogoods, but they came off as cheap looking, especially inside. I've bought boots at Kmart that looked better made. Once I found out also they're union made, that completely killed it for me. Enjoy "your" president, unions.
went to try these on at boot barn and i was blown away at how comfortable they were. just debating now on the color I want and whether I want the wide or the regular fit
Would you happen to know if the regular fit ones would stretch a little? I like them tight but they are just a little too tight on the top
They do stretch, dont get wide cause the top rubs a little it will probably be the same issue. You can get the steel toe that def makes the toe area higher
Are those boots safety toe?
My feet sweat like shit and don’t know what to do anymore.
This summer is literally killing me, I spent 10 hours a day at 95 + degrees everyday.
Merino wool socks are a necessity. Darn Tough socks are hands down my favorite.
Cool but Nicks make the best work boots.
Just wondering if you ever tried having a pair of these resoled? Maybe getting a vibram sole instead? I heard those vibram sole are supposed to be pretty good on these boots. I am about to order my first pair of thorogoods here pretty soon.
Nice vid!
