Purchased these in 2019 for construction as a journeyman carpenter. Comfortable day 1 and lasted well over year without an ounce of regular care. The waterproofing is breathable and never failed whereas those in Keens and Red Wings have. I was a bit shocked to see the low rating, but I'm not a materials expert so I trust that your rating is fair.

Keen in my experience has terrible waterproofing, but they’re by far the most comfortable boots I’ve had for construction, also the least durable sadly, have had eyelets break off in the past.

@EssenceofPureFlavor Жыл бұрын

Keens are cheap for sure. Red Wing it depends a lot on the model. A pair of 875s would probably be as good or better than Thorogoods in every way except maybe break-in, and definitely cost.

@wpnt37 Жыл бұрын

@@EssenceofPureFlavor From a utility standpoint, the 875s lack critical features necessary to keep a tradesperson safe and productive. Lack of a safety toe and waterproofing makes the 875 a non-competitor for anyone working outside of a finished space. An 8" boot also adds extra support while helping to keep dirt out. The 875s seem more premium from a fashion standpoint, as is reflected by the marketing on the boot's webpage.

@EssenceofPureFlavor Жыл бұрын

@@wpnt37 The difference between an 875 and the "work" version, 10875, is basically marketing. If an 8" boot is needed, fine, there's also the 10877. Steel toes are an annoyance for most jobs and not present on most Thorogoods either. And waterproofing is pointless on pretty much any boot and you're better off using leather treatments, so that's not much of a selling point imo. Have never owned Thorogoods and I'm not really putting them down, but Red Wing has absolutely earned their reputation. They're solid boots, and definitely not just a fashion statement.

I've had my pair for just about 4 years. Working as a beer delivery driver in the mountains for the past year they are pretty far from waterproof at this point. They saved my foot from breaking when I dropped a keg on it (barely I almost had to cut it off to get my swollen foot out). They are hands down the most comfortable footware I have ever worn. The heel doesn't wear out and they saved my ass from rogue nails on miltiple occasions. These boots rake in the bitches don't doubt it for a second.

I wear the 1957’s at work every day, but the 6” (814-3600) version. The waterproofing does help (I manage an auto detail shop and car wash, as well as detail). I wouldn’t go in a creek with them, but they have served me well so far. I also clean them and condition the leather once a month. That goes a long way.

@cle_roknn3742 Жыл бұрын

I bought a pair of these with a steel toe and “briar pitstop” leather . I’m a forester and work in the woods and I’m at our mill facilities. These are comfortable on the catwalks and concrete at the mill. They were easy to break in. There are some downsides however. While they are great in the mill, they are questionable in the woods. The sole gets covered in mud easily and becomes very slick, almost like skating when walking on a muddy logging road. The boots have very supple leather, but they have scratched easily and showed briar damage from day 1, the scratches are all superficial, but definitely noticeable. Lastly, just like the pair reviewed mine leaked. It was not as much as the test showed, but they are definitely not waterproof like my Gore-Tex hunting boots are. The lining around the heal is also showing some wear. Overall, I wear them on days I plan to go to into the mill and purchased a pair of Georgia loggers to hold me over until my Wesco’s are delivered in a few months.

@jesseshort8 Жыл бұрын

How do you like the Georgia Loggers? Was thinking about trying them out since, I'd love a pair of Nick's or White's but I haven't been able to bite the bullet yet, looking for something in the $200-$300 range.

@cle_roknn3742 Жыл бұрын

@@jesseshort8 so far so good. I’ve had them for 2 months and wear them 2-3x a week for 9-12 hours a day. They took some breaking in, but once they got comfortable they are about the same as my Thorogoods. Build quality is what you would expect from a boot in the price range, adequate not horrible, but definitely not US hand made standards. The insoles leave a bit to be desired so I’d recommend an upgrade, but that’s my take. Overall, they should last about a year which is what I need them to do. They seem to be waterproof and the lining wicks moisture pretty well. Overall I’d rate them as a “good” for the money. For reference I have the steel toe - lace to toe version, non-insulated. Are they going to be as good as a West Coast boot, absolutely not, but they are much better than some cheap boots I’ve bought. If your a lineman, you may need support for climbing spikes, unfortunately I can’t help you there, I’ve never tried them with spikes. I think there was a review on Amazon that mentioned using spikes with them, you may want to check that out.

Having used a lot of waterproof membrane boots in very wet conditions, they can easily be punctured by bits of grit or mistakes in the manufacturing process. And when they do leak, or if water gets in over the top, then they take forever to dry out as the water is trapped inside the boot until it evaporates. You're right that for most purposes, waxing your boot works just as well. Unfortunately marketing means that people look for membrane boots with Goretex tags and they sell better than non-membrane equivalents for hiking boots or similar applications.

It's cool you mentioned this company switching over to make boots for the US army during ww1. I just went over this in college US history class this week. To prepare for the war, the government chose the most efficient industrial companies at that time to make and provide supplies for them. If the companies agreed to the contract(which most would due to the crazy amount of money the gov was willing to pay) and gauranteed sale of every product produced. They would have indeed been one of the top boot companies at that time with a pretty solid OEE.

I recently bought a pair of the 1957's just like these, but with a 90 degree heal. (Required by my Company) and in the safety toed version. I have not noticed any problem with "breathability" and I wear Marino wool socks year round. My only "issue" was with the ridiculously large amount of leather in the tongue of the boot. There is SO much extra leather there, that you have to fold it up around the sides in a very specific way, and it created hot spots on my ankles. This was the most difficult part of the break in period. And was quite uncomfortable at times. I had to tie the boots so that they were tight around my foot, but very loose up the ankle. Either the leather softened up, or my ankles just got used to the extra pressure. Either way, they are pretty comfortable now.

Need more steel and comp toe stuff, good sir. I bought some Cody James "Disruptor" Western work boots back in April and man, what a gloriously pleasant surprise they've been. Damn comfortable and have held up to everything my job has thrown at them.

I used to use a pair of Thorogood 8in steel toes back when I worked in a naval shipyard as a welder. Some days I would spend 8 hours scooting around on the metal floor to weld, that little extra leather on the heal helped to prevent excess wear in my experience my old red wings had a blow out because of the wear to the back of the boots and on the side of the heal.

I wear the TH814-4141 (aka 8" Flyway with the black, heeled sole) daily in my urban landscaping work. I found them extremely comfortable right out of the box. They've held up well, and so far they've been quite waterproof, even when saturated by water from broken irrigation lines. The only downside is that the soles are wearing out a bit faster than expected, probably from all my walking on pavement. But even at $300, getting a new pair every year would be worth it.

I've owned lots of boots, including Redwing Heritage (fantastic leather, flimsy soles, uncomfortable footing with poor arch support) and White's Smoke Jumpers (perfect fit after long break-in, went for 5 years before I had to resole, they really do prevent fatigue, still working hard). I also own shoes by Allen Edmonds and Rancourt. I bought these because they were waterproof, incredibly soft to the touch, and so good looking.

I have a pair of this TH814-4141 with the black sole as well as an older pair that are not the 'maxwear' sole. The material on the older (5 yrs?) seems a little harder than the 'maxwear'. Pavement, especially older, rougher does a number on the 'maxwedge'. I have no idea if they are different materials. It may be more in the way I use them. I tend to put more pavement miles on the black ones.

Been wearing the 1957s for over a year now and they've held up great with heavy use. One thing I have noticed is that the insoles wear out fast. I'm on my third pair of insoles but I got the thorogood memory foam ones and they're better than original.

First pair of mocks I purchased back in the 90's a pair of Timberland VTG mocs around 1993 or so. Green canvas uppers. Had thick waxy brown leather bottoms. They lasted forever. Think I paid around 175.00 back then. When you mentioned the deal on back for taking boot off I remember they had that

I have the steel toe version of these. Bought them 2 years ago and work on an offshore oil rig. They're still holding up great and super comfortable. I'm on my feet 12-14 hours a day. The only maintenance I do is put on some Obenauf's heavy duty LP every couple of months to help the chemicals from messing up the leather. Edit: the boots I have are the steel toe version with crazy horse leather and the black sole

Probably going to return them.

I just bought my second pair of Thorogood boots. I wore the first pair for over three years and had the sole replaced once (I am quite bow legged). They were easily the best boots I have ever worn, far exceeding even Red Wing! Though I considered purchasing the 1957 - for all the reasons you noted - I decided the extra money wasn't worth the difference. I did change to the dark sole because the white one quickly gets nasty looking. By the way, the only reason I bought the new boot was because a hole developed in the leather where my little toe rides. I would have gladly had them resoled and worn them for another year or two!

I got a pair of these and an all black OG at the same time in a 6" I go to an outlet store for them but the boots aren't irregular and I don't think I paid over 450 for 2 pairs. It was only over a year ago. But I honestly had no Idea these were anything special except that they said waterproof, until seeing this. And I like them. I'm a sheetmetal worker so the leather gets cuts it them a bit, especially in the shop. But I really been enjoying this channel since finding it a month or so ago.

No heal counter cover is what makes these types of lined boots a problem. Wore Irish Setter Wingshooters for a few years and would wear large holes in the heal fairly quickly. Unlined boots are the way to go for sure.
