3rd time is a charm! I'm a union drywall finisher & own a pair of these Thorogoods, needed a steel toe option, and subjected them to a ton of abuse, between work, hiking, and wearing them casually. Out of the box they were so comfortable, especially when compared to my casual boot, my Red Wing 875's. After 2 years it's time for another pair, the spackle is brutal to leather even if conditioned regularly. Where the crimped part of the toe box meets and runs under the section that has the eyelets, a little crack formed, allowing some water to get in, but the Welt seems to be fine. I love how these are much easier to slip on over the Red Wings, the speed hooks and loop make a big difference. Thinking of trying 8" Red Wing 877's or US Made Carolina 8" Moc Toes next!

Don’t buy Carolina’s Moc. The protective layer of steel toe section wore out on mine in less than three months. The steel toe rubs against my pinky toe which is the worst feeling in the world.

I'm actually more excited at the idea of a comparison between the Thorogood and the Thursdays since they're in the same price range. Of course, something that's 40% more expensive should be made with higher quality materials.

@billthebeerbeaconscott8860

Жыл бұрын

Having both for the past year I can tell you they're entirely different boots. The Thursday's are strictly for fashion whereas I wear my Thorogood's mainly for work. I've got about 2 million steps in the past 11 months with the steel toe Thorogood's and it's about time for replacement. The leather has developed some deep cracking despite cleaning and conditioning them at least every other week. I think the main culprit is the fact my feet/ankles sweat a lot... and despite drying these on a PEET dryer after work, sweat really does a number on leather. In comparison, I probably only have 100k steps in my Thursday Captains and they're just barely broken in. I wear these strictly for casual purposes and they get rather uncomfortably tight when my feet swell up after about 6 hours of wear, regardless of how many steps I've taken. They feel more like wearing a formal shoe with a very hard sole. I still love them but am looking forward to when I can really put em through their paces

I’ve been in construction in Ohio for nearly 20 years, with iron working and concrete finishing being my two main trades. I’ve been wearing mock toes for the last 10 years, and I can tell you that it doesn’t matter which boots you buy, concrete and concrete dust will limit you to 12-18 months of wear before the uppers are shot. Regardless of care. That said, the Thorogood’s are consistently the most comfortable. For a true work boot, the Thorogood 6” round toe composite toe wedge sole are hands down my favorite, and the best work boots I’ve ever owned. Of course, they stopped making them though. But I’ll be sticking with Thorogood’s.

I bought a pair of these about a month ago. After about two weeks of wear, they were a lot more comfortable than when I first wore them. I work in an auto assembly plant and I am on my feet for 8-10.5 hours a day. I did put a different insert for a little better arch support.

So excited you were able to get White's for Moctober! Another great video, Weston. Always enjoyable.

The steal toe are my favorite work boots. I can use them for 8 hours and still feel comfortable on feet.

I find my steel toe version to be more roomy and comfortable than my non steel Toed pair. I'm a little over 2 years into this pair , and find myself getting slightly annoyed they won't wear out, because I WANT to buy a new pair.🤣 that in itself should be a testament; None of us typically want to buy new boots, but these things are comfortable right out of the box.... They're apparently bomb proof too. I typically get 7-8 months out of boots. I'm a thorogood customer for life.

Just ordered my first pair, just have to wait for them to arrive to the UK! Thanks for the review mate.

You are by far the best in explaining boots/sneakers

Good review, I’ve been learning a lot from this video series seems like these are pretty decent boots but looks like I can see why people still prefer the red wings over others. Glad I skipped buying the danners last time they were on my list for a while but looks like I’ll pass.

Thanks for the vid. I personally love my thorogoods but am also disappointed with the fake stitch. I really don't understand why company do it because it just cost more time and money and serves no purpose. I've had no welt cracking issues but I'm curious what climate people are in that they experience welt cracking. I did purchase a pair of rock roosters and I have to say they are holding up well and are one of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, even next to thorogood so thanks for making that video as well.

Good stuff. Thanks for that. I recently bought a pair of Tgood 3800’s and the shank was popping on every step in my right boots. Absolute shame when spending close to $300 bones. Other then that the briar stop leather felt awesome and they were super comfortable. Returned them and will try again with the boot from a different company in the future once my work boot allowance at work gets re-upped lol

I just bought some yesterday for work, I work at a grocery store and haven't tried them yet... I figured I'd spend part of my stimulus check on work boots that were made in America, although some foreign components were ok.., and I shopped local at my local cobbler to support a good family business. Watching you're shows gives me something other than motorcycles and cars to geek out about. Thanks. Will buy one of your leather good soon!

My first pair of thorogoods were amazing. Like you said almost no break in, but we’re very durable. After a year or more, I bought a second pair and they absolutely destroyed my feet. I’m a commercial driver and it was agony moving around all day. I bought some redwings on the fly and they were fine, but I finally sent out the original pair for a resole and they’re back in the rotation. Still good for work and getting beat up on the Harley.

I've had a few pairs of T-Good boots (steel toe, waterproof, not wedge soles) but I always suffer from the ones I like being discontinued, and the replacements not being what I am looking for. My favorites were a side zip, and the inserts were about 3 times thicker than the norm, so getting them was an issue, and then the soles were worn to the point of needing replacing, but I then had caustic soda spill onto them, and they did not survive that. Oddly enough the second pair suffered the same sort of death but with both acid, then a few weeks later caustic spilling onto the leather and causing them to tear at the thinned out portions. Chemical work is rough on boots. Had them come unglued, eaten away, and the waterproofing layers made ineffective (surfactants ruin Goretex and the like).

I've got a pair of Thorogood 814-4200 5" in tobacco. I recently had the soles replaced after almost three years of use.

I keep shoe trees in them when not on my feet, give them Wednesdays off to rest, and saddle soap and reapply Bick 4 every couple of months in the cold seasons, and a little less in the warm. I expect them to last at least another sole.

Hey there I work for a utility company and we do a lot of hand digging. My feet were hurting for about a month, asked around and finally bought new boots got these same exact ones and my pain on my feet went away. Awesome boots. Only downside is they take a minute to break in. But once broken in, they are solid!

absolutely no one: toaster on this video: *AGGRESSIVELY LICKING*

Bought a pair of these at the big boot store in the next town just today. They just plain fit like a glove. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up to the hype. Edit: I'm two weeks in and they're fantastic. Most comfortable boots I've ever owned, next to no break-in, and they look great if you don't work them to death like I've been doing. Edit 2: about a month and a half in now and they're still pretty great. Insoles are holding up great, leather is doing fine despite its softness. My only real complaint so far is that the laces could be better. They're not falling apart yet, which is good, but when I compare them to the laces on my Red Wing 606 boots, there's a distinct difference in feel. I'm betting these laces will die long before the rest of this boot will. That said, they still look pretty great when I cleaned them up the other day and conditioned the leather.

Thank you so much for this video. I bought a pair a few months ago but the maxwedge sole already wore out. They are very comfortable in my opinion.

I have a pair of black throughgoods, worn for 2 almost 3 years and to cover some of the things you mentioned ; no issues with welt or cracking what so ever. Winters get cold and summers are hot so they see all weather conditions . The inner lining around the toe area tore so I had to rip it out because it was bunching up around the toes. Overall not a huge issue . The sole at this point needs resoled . I love these boots so instead of buying a new pair that is what I plan to do. After all this time they have far too much character . Loved the cleaning video by the way!! Learned how to clean the soles . Amazing 😉

I personally have a pair of boots from their 1892 collection and I think the brand is pretty underated by a lot of people. Definitely a brand to consider getting something from if you have an issue with your boots being too stiff or hard or just prefer something a bit more flexible and cushioned.

I had a pair of those for almost two years, the toes do wear out incredibly fast. Had to switch them out because I could see my toes

What I find crazy is thorogood actually goes through any and all videos of their products and comments. I think that is really great. Shows they truly care about what people are saying about them. I can’t seem to find a boot that won’t fall apart so I’m waiting for mine to ship. If these don’t work, I’m gonna have to go full custom Nicks. Keeping my fingers crossed!

As someone who wears work boots for work I love this series. Really cool. I would like to see you do this to the Keen Cincinnati

Thanks for your video very informative. I have the steel toe version of these as my daily work boots just got them and so far really like them.

Before I got my Nicks I only wore thorogood. Every pair iv used for work the welt has cracked sooo bad.

@Denis Palchak You have a "libs getting owned" type playlist, yet you are posting a link to a satirical website making fun of right-wing conspiracy theorists.

Great boots for SLC snow packed sidewalk and outdoor steps . Good traction. Comfortable.

You have a new sub today! I have had my Thorogoods for going on three years now. They have held up to everything I have put them through with not a single problem. Harsh chemicals, gas, diesel, rain, mud, heat and who knows what else. By far the best pair of boots I have ever had. I recently picked up a pair of Silverado boots, be interesting to see how they are put together since they are around the same price point.

Saddle soap and a stiff brush, and then Hubbard's Shoe Grease. I'd say concrete and related material dust/chems is one of the worst on leather.

I've had two pair of their shoes. One an 8" tactical boot, the other a moc toe shoe that were the oxford type version of this boot. Both were grossly over sized, and both needed different insoles and thick socks to use. The moc toe christy style sole was garbage on concrete. I got 6 months out of them before the sole was so worn, it was next to useless. I leveled the sole, and hand cut tread into what was left. I got a few more months out of them after, but by the time I was at the 9 month or so. Even the upper was so tired, they weren't worth recrafting.

And that’s the biggest factor here. They’re simply not worthy of a resole so you’re essentially getting a boot you toss after you’ve worn through the soles.

Ok frist off it's not a fake stitch at all . I know cuse I used to work in the factory that makes them . The shanks are glued in place and its cork filling and the not a cotton lining its polyester fabric that makes it waterproofing and that good year stitching is what keeps the midsole stitched to keep the cork filling and the rest of the boot tied all together

My friend has had this boot exact boot for over a decade and he let me look em over today because I'm thinking of getting some. You are exactly right. The welt is cracked where the toe bends. But the rest of the boot has held up amazingly well for soo much use. Thinking it's worth the money though if I get 10 years out of em...

I wish I watched this the day it came out; I just bought the danner mocs. I was looking for the thursday mocs but couldnt find good reviews on them and you're going to review them tomorrow! wish I waited

😅 appreciate the dedication but i would been cool with a fake cutting, instead of your personal pair. We could still see the inside of the other pair at the end of the day.

Ok I actually laughed at your seventh-grade joke. If you’ve already cut open two of them maybe it was time to just tell us: so I cut this boot open... we’d understand.

Love my Red Wings. Sold my Thorogoods on Ebay. Not really missing them. Digging that cat too!

Just bought my first pair. Thanks for this video

I’m on my second pair of these boots but they have a black wedge sole. The first pair lasted 5 years but the plastic rib did break, but it was simply cosmetic. My bigger issue is the toe area will fall apart after 1.5 years and can be uncomfortable until it’s removed. All that said, I’ll be buying my third set next year. By far my favorite boots I’ve ever had.

On my Thorogoods the counter cover wore out in about two weeks. Had the local cobbler add a full length leather counter cover to it and I haven’t had any issues since!

Currently wearing a pair of 8” plain toe Thorogoods that I have truly beaten up in two manufacturing plants and they are still going strong. Looking to get another pair of the mock toe boots as it’s been close to 5 years on my original pair. Thanks for this review spot on as usual.

Meant to also mention...I have a pair of Thorogood moctoe’s and I like them, but I had a different experience with the insert. I found them uncomfortable under the heel-I guess it was that different density portion. Not a big deal. As you said, easily changed. I swapped out for a different insole and it was fine. Jury’s still out for me on the leather. I haven’t made up my mind whether I like the softer leather or not. You’re right, break in was super easy. Also! I just assumed the triple stitch line was decorative. Never occurred to me that it’d be for reinforcement against stretch. Decorative stitching always bothers me so I’m glad to know it has purpose. Thanks.

i got those boots too. your right, comfy right out the box. great content keep it up!

Hi love the channel! Would love to see the Alden Indy boots get compared here as well, coming from the "luxury" side of the room I think it would make for an interesting comparison!

Man, I wish I had found your videos sooner. I just a few weeks ago bought a pair of those Thorogood boots with the safety toe and EH rating. Plant work electrician. So far they have not disappointed. I’m indoors for the most part and on concrete slab.

I have had a pair of these for the last three years and can confirm all the praise and criticism of the video. I don't wear them to work but they have held up to the Toronto winters very well and I can see them lasting another 3 years with not much upkeep. I was considering buying redwings at the time until I read that some people claim Redwings can take over a month to work in. I laughed for the sake of comfort and savings after my first day of wearing my Thorogoods.

You're really good at all of this.

I was going back and forth between these the Red wings and Thursdays and after watching all your reviews I want with the thorogoods thanks so much bro I love them I got the crazy horse leather ones

I work in a carp/weld shop and do a lot of walking and I love my thorogood boots I have a new pair but still use my old set cuz theyre just so comfortable theyre on their 4th year now and are holding up well.

Ive got the round toe style like these in wedge, they are so comfortable, no complaints

I am on my 3rd pair of these boots. I wear them everyday for work. Love them as they are very comfortable from the start. I had the first pair resoled and when those soles wore out I bought a new pair. The stitching on the heel of my 2nd pair broke loose so when the soles wore out on that pair I just bought a new boots instead of resoling. I am about a year into my 3rd pair and the stitching on the heel of these are coming apart the same as my 2nd pair. Love the boot except for the heel stitching coming apart. Just watched your White Moc Toe review and am thinking about giving those a try for my next boot purchase.

I have the thorogood roofers boot. No cracking in three years. Glue for the wedge sole is starting to give up a little along the edges of the sole. But still holding. Great boots. I like them better than my redwings.

I'm a carpenter and have been wearing the Thorogood 8" mock toe boots almost exclusively for the last 10 years. They are absolutely the best/most comfortable boots out of the box that I have found. Usually last me about a year of everyday hard use before it's time to replace.

I have these and the red wing 8875 ( Japan issue) and both are awesome you are on the money with the comfort I wore these out the box all day and no issue I would not try that with the red wing!!! As they were like rocks at the start. I wear mine to my kids winter sport games heaps And work I prefer to shape of the red wings but when I'm having a bad back day which is a lot I tend to favor these. Love you're work bro
