I’m a laborer at a gold mine, so I’m on my feet 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and walk up to 15 miles a day in rugged terrain. I have worn my Thorogoods for 3 years and they are hands down the most comfortable shoe I own. I bought a second pair to wear casually because they are so comfortable and still have a classic look.

Cool name. I too work 6 days a week but as maintenance on a farm. I was looking at the thorogood boots. Have you worn the same pair of boots for 3 years? I really want a thorogood boot but they make them sound weak with all the man made material.

If you want a quality American work boot that will not destroy your foot or wallet with long break in…get a Thorogood. However, if your outdoors on a farm, might think about something waterproof from the 1957 line.

I had a pair of red wings and within a month I sold them they killed my feet and im a welder with the iron workers union and once I switched to thorogood it was all history. I've just bought a second pair to wear cause like you they are more comfortable then my shoes

I love how informative this channel is

I can see why this video was delayed. The graphics and editing on this is great and super helpful!

I usually don’t comment on videos. However there was so much work done to create this video and I hope this comment helps out with the KZread algorithm. Great video. Very informative.

Hold on, Professor, let me run and grab my notebook!

That's a lot of work for this video. I'm not even that interested in these shoes but it's interesting how much you can learn and get a good idea on what a good shoe/boot technically is!

Damn dude, this video rocked. I appreciate the time and thorough breakdown you've done. This was great!

I feel like based on the charts and breakdown, the White's are the best for work, not the Thorogood's. They score more often on the work oriented side more than any other boot here. I think that is what I am going with. Thanks for the breakdown Wes.

This is what I was thinking, too. They also ranked more durable in most areas, just behind the Redwings. I do think they're also the best hybrid with only some break-in, but only if you dig the style. The Thorogood's seemed like the next best hybrid if you prefer a more casual look.

I agree… unless he’s factoring comfort into the work-appropriateness. If he is, then Thorogood makes sense, as they are almost as comfortable as the Thursday, but a little more durable.

I am a person that does not need such boots, but I loved watching this entire video, so thorough!

Awesome video! The analysis was extremely well thought out and presented. Thank you. I’m going out the Thursdays

More of these comparisons, please. They are an absolutely awesome resource to the viewer in terms of identifying pros and cons.

Weston =, once again another great video! I hope you're doing well even with the COVID! This video suggests that it isn't slowing you down! Glad to see you looking well and you're able to keep these going! Great job!!

It looks like "The Rona" hasn't thrown you for complete loop. How are you feeling overall?

Loved the moctober series can’t wait for next year, this series gave me so much information and allowed me to make the best decision when I purchased my boots.

Every Moctober video had me choosing a different boot (I almost pulled the trigger for the Red Wings), but in the end I went with the Thursdays! Can't wait for them to arrive. Thanks for all the info dude!

Wow, wow, wow. This is flipping awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it greatly. You basically answered every possible question and did it faster than I could even ask them. Instant subscriber! Keep up the great work, Man!

This video had so much in it, overall I went redwing. Thank you ever so much for cutting and informing us. Your videos on MocToe made my choice a confidant and easy one. The graphics was awesome, thanks so much for what you do, I'm getting some Nicks Robert with toe cap, thanks to you. The wait is well worth what I saw in your video. I'm sharing and showing your videos to all my buds and they are just eating it up.

The graphics at the end were super helpful to see where each boot lies on the spectrum. Amazing work as always.

This is fantastic and im sure a ton of work. Thank you for bringing this content out. Ive been looking at purchasing a moc toe for work and I've been following your channel closely to help me decide so thank you!!!

How did I miss this a year ago? So much relevant information, presented so clearly! I wound up buying the Thursday, definitely not for work. But it's comfy, and in rotation, should last long enough.

Fantastic video! Thank you for your hard work I’ve been wearing work boots for thirty years and what you just went through is on this video is the best advice you could have ever given to someone It the being of this series I was a little doubtful but you hit it out of the park !

Wow, just wow. Now folks need to send in their old moc toes to see what the failure points are in this style of boot. That would make a neat set of videos for next Moctober. Don't forget to include a work history of each boot--number of resoles, industry or activity used, daily wear versus seasonal use etc. And you don't need to cut them up if some can be revived with simple repairs and donated. "Boots don't fail; they become wallets."

Just finished my first 6hours in my Whites Perry Boot. I have NEVER spent more than $140 for a pair of shoes so these at $279 was hard to swallow but man I'm glad I did. They are so comfortable right out of the box.

The whole vid I was feeling overwhelmed with the individual slide scales - then he put all the categories together and it was like instant relief 😂 well done 👌🏼

Congratulations on your hyper good video Wes, you made an amazing stuff.

After all your videos i went with the Thorogood Moc Toe 8”. Im a Journeyman Plumber that wears them all day and i have no problem wearing them on the weekend as well. Most comfortable boots ive owned. Thanks!

I was engaged for the whole video!! Looking forward to the next series. Still Red Wings for me, but I am liking those Thursday’s 👌🏽

Super well put together video. Very informative and straight to the point. Can't wait to see how the boots hold up after a year.

This is the video we deserve! Fast and furious with the info! This was great, Ill grab the Redwings for me. Also hope youre feeling better.

Would love to see this with a Chelsea boot

amazing video - it doesn't get more informative or comprehensive than this, especially as a wrap up to the more detailed individual reviews that preceded it. I own RW and Thorogoods but based on this comparative info, I am heading for a new pair of Whites - thank you! Hey to Toaster.

Brilliant comparison, really helps you pinpoint exactly what you need in a pair of boots

I've worn Danner, Timberland, and Sorel for boots and New Balance 990 series for 20 years. The 990's are the most comfortable, supporting shoe I've found.

This is a top video. Highly informative and straight to the punch!

That was actually excellent! Informative, with the information presented plainly, and, a very good recommendation on each boot for the purpose it will fit the easiest. Thanks, man. peace

Awesome video! It's really informative and these series made me want moctoe boots now haha. Anyway, hope your channel grows, you've got a lot of potential :)

Great breakdown of all the boots. Very informative. I hope you’re feeling better.

I have a pair of the Thursday boots I bought earlier this year. I like them as a casual wear boot, definitely not a boot to work in. The toe box is snug and narrow for my foot and I did not size down as their website said to do. I do own three other pairs of Thursday boots and I'm quite happy with them. One pair, I ordered in a 10-1/2EE, they are a perfect fit with just enough room for my toes don't rub on the sides of the boot. Just placed an order for a pair of the Whites, cant wait for them to arrive. I might be lucky to get them before Christmas, I not holding my breath!!!! As always, thanks for the fantastic work you have done here. Really enjoyed your reviews and cutting shoes in half. I never thought in my wrong mind to cut a pair of shoes in half as you do!!! Ken

Outstanding video and information. I have three pairs of Red Wing moc toes, so I'm a bit partial, but you've given me food for thought for considering White's. Thanks for the great video and channel.

Loved this breakdown / eval. The charts were very helpful to me. Great video.

Loving these comparison videos! I'm not looking to buy a moc toe boot but I enjoyed your white sneaker comparison video a lot so here I am.

I love Toaster. Strudel, too. And the shoe and boot guy is okay to listen to while I wait for Toaster’s cameos!

picked myself up a pair of thorogoods, thanks for the informative videos!

Thanks! Still can't decide which one I want! Leaning RedWing for the classic design. Great to have all the info.

I keep waffling between the Red Wings and the White's. This video/series was awesome

Thank you so much for your videos. I love your approach facts over perception you actually break down each of the shoes/boots. I know you mentioned that you prefer the whites question for you which boots/shoe is your all-time favorite to wear in the shop? I recently got a job and a sharp standing/ walking on concrete for long hours. What is your go to shoe/boot to wear every day?

Good video! There are so many boot brands it's crazy. I like the look of the Chippewa 6" baldwin moc toe boots

Love your videos Weston, get well soon!!!

Shank is super important to aid heel to toe transition when you walk. Not only it adds structure to the shoe, but more importantly it make sure the center part (when viewed from the side) of the shoe does not flex. It make sense once you think about which part of your feet are bones and which part are joints that flex.

Very informative video. All of those boots have their strengths and you did a great job pointing that out. I'm most likely going to be purchasing the Red Wings soon, but I'm a bit torn between those and the Whites.

I would love to see a Wolverine Thousand Mile Boot review / cut in half.

Extremely pedagogic and informative video. Appreciated!

I just went with the White’s after watching your moctober videos. The new-ness of the boot interested me, and though the red wings are iconic I wanted something a bit different as I also just purchased some iron rangers. It’s interesting that you recommend the Thorogood boots for work as the whites generally rated on your top end for sturdiness and durability. I guess you valued the no break in period for work boots very highly. Thanks for your cool content!

Thorogood are also the least heritage inspired. So if you mess them up you don't feel like your damaging a good boot. You're just wearing out a shit boot which doesn't feel so bad.

This is the most logical comparison of boots. EXCELLENT

I’d be interested to see a iron ranger type series. I feel like that new patagonia Buffalo boot would give red wings a run for their money.

I have a pair of Carolina moc toes that I’ve worn every day for a year. They are so comfortable but the sole is pretty much foam and is worn almost completely smooth.

Yessss! Was just looking for a video like this 🤗

Just picked up a pair of Thorogood boots two days ago exactly the same ones that you are talking about today

Wow. Really good/helpful review video for someone who's considering these boots 👍

Love my Red Wings, and found this really helpful.

Bought a pair of Thorogoods. Felt great the second I tried them on. Love'm.

Thanks for making this moc toe video. I t has made my buying decition a lot easier

The work you put into this!! 👏👏👏

I love boot break down puts it in a spot for your personal choice, and also can you do a review on military boots Ik they are meant for combat but I want to see if it’s able to be in a hybrid scenario of combat, casual, and work oriented for construction that kind of work and if it’s durable than most leather

I just recently got home from being active duty, now I’m an apprentice carpenter and I went with Thorogood for my first boot, I figured my boots were my most important tool👍

Excellent review and much appreciated! Carolina makes an American made moc toe boot which I think deserves a review. Thank you.,

This is outstanding!! Very nice work. Hopefully this will be seen by many people who are in the market for a great pair of moc toe boots. The only question I have is why the Red Wings' upper leather didn't rate as highly for durability. I'd expect they'd last as long as any boot, as I've seen so many pictures of that same boot being very worn and broken in. Other than that very minor question, this is great stuff. Thanks for doing this!

Wanted a casual everything boot that I would not be working in, just an all arounder for walking in the city so I chose the Thursday.. should arrive in a few days!

Decisions, decisions! Thanks for the great videos! I still don't know what moc-toe boot I want to get.

I picked up a pair of Thorogood's as a steel toe work boot and I love them. I work indoors in a fairly light duty shop/office environment. I was tired of wearing athletic shoes. I chose Thorogood's because they reviewed well, and the local Boot Barn had a ton of pairs so I could find the perfect fit. They make me feel good every time I lace them up.

Thursdays are good boots but they don’t have the color that suits me.

For the video you plan on making a year from now with the wear test of these. It be cool to keep in mind the waterproofing while wearing them around. Thanks so much for this series

Man... you are the scientist of boots!

Nice work, love your videos

I own both the Red Wing & Thursday Moc Toe’s. Redwings are my go-to woodworking/construction project boots. Thursday’s are my go-to all-around boot. I love them both. I’m very impressed with the Thursday boots. Their durability and comfort has held up since 2018. The Red Wings are since 2016 and have lived up to their age old reputation as well.
