Thorogood American Heritage 1957 Series 814-3800 10 month review

Been running these Thorogood Work Boots 814-3800 for 10 months or so. I've had plenty of other brands over the years. JK, Red Wing, LL Bean to name a few. These have been the longest lasting best performing boots to date. Comfort and durability that surpasses the rest! Thanks for watching!

    Damn good video!! Why it only Has a few hundred views, I have no idea. I love real videos on boots, people that work in them and work them hard. Nice work! I’m about to do a video on these myself.

    You can get them resoled by a cobbler. Definitely condition those boots more frequently.

    Ive been wearing these for 11 months. I agree with everything you've mentioned. Never have wet feet. Never slip. I got the Thorogood insoles too, man they are comfortable. I've tried many many boots....I'll keep buying these for sure.

    Have you tried a redwing wedge sole? I’m in the market for a moc-toe wedge sole, wondering if I should go Thorogood or Red Wing

    I use to wear Red Wing boots years ago. Like 10+ years ago. Nothing with a wedge sole, so unfortunately I can't give you any feedback with that. Thorogoods have been solid for me so it'll be tough to try another brand...even though I'm currently testing some boots by Brunt.😓

    I'll be looking around my area soon to see if a resole is possible. I'd like to have these resoled for a backup pair. Also a if a good repair shop can resole then maybe clean and condition too? Have a couple pairs in good condition to rotate would be awesome! Thanks for the comment!

    The JK boots were great! Unfortunately I neglected them for too long and they're in pretty bad shape. I still have them and may try doing a video of "What not to do" with those kinds of boots. Then try to restore them? Leather lowers are hard as a rock...Totally my fault.

    ​@trod7374 that's a bummer, I have a pair of JK's I think they are the best Pacific North West boot. They can rebuild them for you. I also love all of my Thorogood boots as well. Thanks for the videos. I have a few boot videos on my channels well.

    Definitely! I've tried some other boots that were more for "going out" than on the job site and they were shit to be honest! These boots can do both. Just keep them clean, not too dirty and you'll be good to go! Great looking, quality construction and all day comfort...can't ask for more.👍

    I've been using Iron laces for years and that's all I use. I'm not a welder, so they probably wouldn't work in that environment, but everything else I think they'd handle just fine. Ironlace...one word on Amazon. Pick your length and you'll be set! 👍

    5 ай бұрын

    Sizing is spot on for me. I'm a 9.5 in Redwing and a 9.5 in these as well as most other boots. My Nike running shoes I'm a 10. I went with the medium width. I'm on the skinner side of things 5'11" @ 175, so for me they have the right amount of width without getting loose through out the day. They do offer a wide version as well.

    How do they rate compared to your JK

  • @trod7374

    @trod7374

    5 ай бұрын

    The craftmanship on the JK's was the best I've seen thus far. You get what you pay for for sure. Thorogood not quite as good but definitely not as expensive either. Comfort wise the JK take some getting use too because of the tall heal, but after a few weeks that's not an issue. Thorogood is great right from the start. I work in wet conditions daily so the waterproof liner Thorogood uses is really a huge benefit for me. I know the JK's can be oiled and conditioned to basically get the same result...I'm just not willing to do what it takes to keep them in that condition. After about 10 mths of neglect the JK's were as hard a rock and in need of some serious tlc to get them back in working order. The Thorogood's in the same time frame and same neglect just needed a resole. Speaking of soles... The JK soles are firmer than the Thorogood. Softer sole wears faster, but adds a little to the comfort. For me the Thorogood does everything I need a great work boot. Price is fine and matches the quality. Long lasting enough and comfortable to wear all day in the conditions I put them through. I do see that JK is now offering a wedge sole boot called "Forefront" that I might try out. Just not for my daily work. Hope this helps. Any other questions just let me know.
