If you're searching for an iconic, sturdy, American-made moc toe boot you've almost certainly come across these two industry stalwarts: Red Wing and Thorogood. The boots look so similar that you might think it's a toss up between the two, but the design, leather, and ESPECIALLY the sole actually vary significantly.

I have used work boots for 20+ years. I am on my feet for 10+ hours a day. I tried Thorogood boots for the first time last year. These are a game changer. Very comfortable from day one. Never have had to add insoles in these boots. And yes, I have owned several pairs of Red Wings. Hope this helps.

Both boots are great, I have a pair RW 1907 and the same thorogood boot. Over time the thorogood boot stretches out and are more loose on my feet but wearing boot socks took care of that. Like you said it depends what you will use them for I like the red wing for normal wear and the thorogood is good for work. Hopefully my next pair will be the 875 rw I love how the 875 looks after the break in.

Just bought Thorogood Waterproof, steel toe, moc toe, 8 inch boot. It’s so comfy out of the box, does need a little break in but all good I mow lawns and I’m around wet grass all the time so that wedge sole was a con for me, but Thorogood offered the boot described above with a wedge sole carved into a regular heel style with added tread. Also the sole came in black which is awesome cause the white would turn green. It’s like these were made for me.

I like the red wings because they make them the same way they did back in the days when they were introduced. You're getting a boot from 1952. And that requires a break in. It's like you get a molded boot that you have to work at for a month or so (probably less honestly), or you get a more modern comfy boot that doesn't change at all. What you get is what you got. Just different preferences.

Just got the Red Wings in Oro legacy. I was about to walk up to the register with the thorogoods, then I realized the Red Wings are just $40 more expensive. It was a little bit more involved though. Had to drive an hour away to the nearest Red Wing store that had my size in stock, then I had the sizing issue to wear a 12 wide was too big, but a 12 was barely too small, so I just got the 12 stretched and they seem to fit perfectly now. The things I do for the things I love

My Thorogood are years old, look great and show now signs of giving up the farm. They have been through it all and then some. I actually went with my normal show size when I bought my current pair, and yes my feet tended to swim in them. I did this on purpose because I needed to have room for my insert. One thing I noticed right away with the Thorogood and still notice is that I don't get foot fatigue after wearing the boots for any length of time. I also lucked up to be able to purchase them at a great sale price. I think the only reason I've never purchased a pair of Redwings is the cost up front.

Nick, what's your opinion on Mexican made boots ? There is a brand i have seen called Padilla they make a moc toe, with full grain "grasso" leather. Not sure what "grasso" is, my guess is that it is an oil tanned leather (grasso\grease). jyst wondering if you have ever seen a pair. they only run about $50-$60 so i am gussing they're junk.

Thorogood leather is close to the same thickness as redwing. It’s barrel rolled making it way softer. That’s the difference. I owned the redwings a few years ago. Took 2 months to break in, then after about 2 months later the sole melted away, super soft. If you drag your feet, your work with concrete. The redwing sole will melt away before the boot is even broken in.

Hi, what jeans are you wearing? Not just the brand by the style too please. My jeans seems to be a little too baggy, which I don't mind, but the more slim fits do show off the appeal of those nice boots

Hey J S, these jeans are Full Count kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJ2GgNRk17itkpc.html I wear high rise, relax tapered jeans because I have a big butt and thighs. If you don't, you might prefer regular tapered, but in any event it sounds like tapered is what you're looking for :)

Carlos E. Martinez Ramos I’m a huge red wing guy for casual wear. For work, which I do need steel toe, I prefer Carolina Boot Co. I’ve only had them for 3 weeks, but oh my god they are so comfortable. If they turn out to be durable, I can’t imagine ever buying a different brand or model. I’d simply order them again once the current ones wear out.

Love my Thorogoods. They are great looking and the most comfortable/supportive footwear I have. I do like the more slim style of the RW better but I’m this day and age why put yourself through the pain of breaking in a boot that won’t put last the most comfortable boot on the market? Seams like silly hipster logic. BTW Nick, the tad longer hair suits you well.

They are undeniably comfy boots, Matt, it's true. I think Red Wing is prettier and I think it's fine to pick clothes and shoes based on their looks so long as you don't act like it's anything more than that, I think I was honest in this video haha. Thanks for the compliment on the hair, I'm stuck with long hair because no barbers are open during quarantine. A lot of people prefer it but I hate it and don't know how to style it haha

Ok so two years have passed. I now have two pairs of the RedWing heritage and two pairs of thorogood both black and tobacco.go to go with the guy below, the thorogood ‘s are considerably more comfortable during the break I. For sure. I think both look great but going forward I’ll stick with the thorogood.

Thorogood white stitches stand out, but if you use cream polish with pigment that matches the leather it will also dye the white stitches and will stand out much less.
