Please do a breakdown of the women’s moc toe from red wing since a lot of people say they aren’t as well built, while others say that it’s just as good. Would love to see them this year in Moctober.

I believe it’s actually wuite the contrary. The women’s stuff doesn’t get as big of a production run as the men’s stuff, so quality and attention to detail is usually better than the men’s counterparts. An example of higher quality is that on one of the women’s models, they use a full leather stacked inch and a half heel. Show me a men’s Red Wing boot that does the same!

Red Wing states on their page that the womens Moc Toe boots are mostly the same as the mens (cork midsole etc.) exept for available sizes, slightly different last (due to different foot shape) and softer leather and polyurethane outsole (rubber on the mens versions). They run 290$ on their page while the mens versions are 280-290$, but I'm sure they sell a lot more mens boots making those slightly more cost effective to produce (economies of scale). It's true however that women tend to buy more fashion footwear wich is usually lower quality for the price.

Coming from aviation maintenance, thorogood is the way to go for one reason only: the outsole is skydrol resistant. Any other boot with a rubber outsole, skydrol will begin to soften and eventually melt them. Thorogoods have also served me well past 1,000 miles of walking and can clean up very easily.

I love Redwings but steel toed 8" Thorogoods are my go to work boot. Wheel of death suggestion ... ripped apart by chimps ... random but probably exciting to watch.

I’ve had this pair of boots for over three years and they’ve been re-soled three times. Still comfortable and very durable.

This is the video that closed me on trying the Thorogood's. I'm sure glad I got them, they're doing a great job.

I watch a lot of boot review channels but I think I watch yours the most because of your cats that show up every now and again! :)

Wheel suggestion: put catnip on the boot and have Toaster claw it up.

I have a pair of Thorogood steel toes that are very comfortable. The sole, and upper are worn, but not worn out. My only issue is a speed hook on the right boot came off after only wearing them for 5 months. Good boots, more comfortable than most.

I just ordered my 3rd pair of thorogood boots. They always need some break in time in the toe box but after that they’re the best I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of different boots

Add chain saw to the "Wheel of Death".

Sponsorship/ads/commercials: IDK if I'm in the majority here, but I actually like (or at least, appreciate and don't dislike) this style of advertisement. You're not pretending it's not an ad, you show the product and give a quick infomercial. Feels honest and straightforward.

I got my first pair of thorogoods in May. I bought them because they were not only much more affordable than redwings, but they seemed they could last you decades. I'm so proud of my decision after watching this video; stylish useful and a good investment. Also just curious, would you recommend the Oilrigger wellingtons from them? If not, what other boot in the 200 to 250 dollar range would work.

Love the new content, graphics and now cutting methods!!! Lol

worn mine for a year and yess the lining in the vamp started to come off it has a plastic toe cap that started to dig into my toes

Great content, new boots are interesting but these used boots are really the proof. Excited for the Carolinas too, likely picking those up if your review is positive...

I LOVE my Thorogood's! Wearing them right now.

I've wore thorogoods for yrs for work I'm a welder and I can get 2 and half to 3yrs out of a pair usually wear a hole through bottom before the steel in toe starts to show or stitching comes out great boots well worth the money

Woah awesome production… havent tuned in for a while

Absolutely love my Thorogoods. My absolute go to brand for work boots

These are great boots. Its unfortunate Thorogood decided to discontinue the extended widths. I wore these for years but now can't get a pair that fit.

Can confirm, they’re good boots. Mine are going on 4 years of daily wear. Mostly on concrete/asphalt, walking around different buildings with ladders thrown in between. But they’re great. I had to reglue the sole in a couple of places as it started splitting from the midsole but the glue has held up and so has the rest of the boot. I also have some Red Wing Mocs now, but these thorogoods will always have a place.

Great videos!

Love my thorogoods. I will say that soft leather obviously means there’s little to know break in, but they get scarred very easily. But overall I love them.

Thanks for the video and I know your famous and all but I got to ask I’m wonder what brand was the shirt you were wearing the banded collar

Carolina Amp USA Wedge Boot Those are amazing moc toe boots. They are the best work boots I’ve ever owned. The price is under $200 which is impeccable for The quality. You should do a review on them.

I have a pair of 8" heritage steel toe Thorogoods that I've had for about 5 years. Resole is about $50. Add some new laces and insole and they're like new!

Thorogoods are the best work boot out there, period

That cat makes every video 10x better

Radial arm saw (I can donate it). Maybe a sword. For a challenge, sewing scissors.

I'm 2 years in on my 4364's and am very happy, they're my everyday off work boots though so I'll probably get a couple more years out of a boot I already would have needed to replace if worn at work. The thing is as you know they are not intended for people looking for a heritage quality boot. Weinbrenner seems to have picked and chosen the best compromises to dial their thorogood boots into that $200 price point. Look at Georgia boot or Carolina from HH Brown, their boots are a decently less expensive and it shows . They're already giving you a lot of value for the money, and to offer a leather welt and more durable vamp lining they would have to up the price or drop the machined brass speed lace hooks and probably the max wear wedge. It's just not what the blue collar workers giving their boots hell want. A nicer heritage version would be nice though and definitely give redwing a run for their money, they already do their 1892 series which has a leather welt and is priced under $300. I definitely love my Tomahawks in Chromexel, and they were a steal.at $250 ( they're usually priced a little higher though) They could definitely do similar in the 4364 and I would not hesitate. Of course in the moc toe too for those who want a moc toe.

Did you guys do the Danner Bull Run moc toe? If you did, that would be cool to see. If not, maybe something to look into? Just bought a pair a few weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying them.

The cat friend is cool. I have a black cat in my shop in the backyard. I go out, she goes. I work, come in, she comes along. I sit in the recliner, she joins me. I am not a cat petson, but hard to not love them.

@johnnyhorizon8368

When Thorogood was was marketed as Weinbrenner decades ago they used to make most styles in a narrow width - I know because I had to buy the narrow width. Up until I retired after 32 years working in forestry & wildland fire I wore off-the-shelf Whites & Nicks boots in A & B widths. I did have a custom made pair of Wesco (West Coast Boots) in the early 80s. Certain Danner lasts also run narrow such as the one they use for their Portland made Rain Forest.

I pour concrete obviously I don't try to wear them in the mud but I've done concrete welding and mechanics I'm truly a concrete finisher but played with the three trades that really need steelies

My coworkers swear by Thorogood boots for their comfort. I have been on the fence about it but now I think that when my current workboots die, I will pick up a set of Thorogoods (I am a local 157 union carpenter in NYC). I already have a set of Red Wing 875 moc toe, which I love but they are strictly for casual wear, they are too pretty to use for work. By the way, you are partly responsible for getting me into quality boots, your channel more than any other KZreadr educated me as to what to look for in boots. Now I am hooked, I may have to join Boots Anonymous to break this boot acquisition habit I developed...not the worse addiction. Presently I am waiting for my Truman boots (Java waxed flesh) to arrive to add to my growing collection (grant stones, red wing, jim green, Helm, Wilcox, Danner). By the way, will you do a review of Truman boots in 2023? They have some awesome leather selections, and the construction seems to be top notch for a slightly lighter pacific northwest boot. I plan on getting a Nicks Americana boot in 2023, their other workboots styles are just too heavy for me.

Thorogood has worked for me for many years. I can get 2 to 3 resoles before they get tossed.

dis is a certified hood classic

Have you done a review for tbe Thorogood 1957 series? Are they the same as heritage line or are they a step up in materials?
