Thorogood 1957 Series 8 Waterproof Work Boots for Men

Thorogood's Premium Full-Grain Saddle Leather Boots: Crafted for Demanding Jobs

Thorogood, a brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1892, presents its moc toe work boot design in a dark Briar Pitstop brown (814-3800). These boots are not only comfortable but also built to withstand the rigors of punishing jobs.

Manufactured in the USA with domestic and globally sourced components, these boots are a testament to Thorogood's commitment to quality craftsmanship. The MAXWEAR WEDGE™ TRACTION OUTSOLE flexes better than other work boot outsoles, absorbing impacts and providing sure-footed grip on loose gravel, wet, and oily surfaces. These outsoles meet ASTM F3445-21 Slip Test Standards for work boot soles.

The 8-inch shaft height offers ample ankle support, while the gusseted tongue keeps water and liquids at bay. The moisture-wicking lining inside the waterproof boots pulls sweat away, ensuring a dry and comfortable work environment. These boots also meet ASTM F2413-18 electrical hazard resistance safety standards, providing an added layer of protection.

Thorogood's unwavering dedication to innovation and comfort is evident in the removable Ultimate Shock Absorption Footbed. This dual-density polyurethane cushion, concentrated under the heel and ball strike zone, absorbs impacts and wicks away moisture for unparalleled comfort.

The Goodyear Storm Welt Construction ensures superior wear resistance and a secure moisture seal between the upper and midsole, making these boots extremely dependable and long-lasting. The fiberglass shank construction gives these tough men's work boots the flex and strength needed to maintain their shape under heavy use, while the 8-inch flexible ankle support keeps the wearer secure.

Thorogood's heritage is deeply rooted in the brand's history. In 1892, Albert H. Weinbrenner, at the age of 27, opened a cobblery in Milwaukee, serving the "Jobbing" trades. Over the decades, the company has evolved, introducing innovative concepts, contributing to the U.S. military, and eventually becoming employee-owned through an ESOP in 2000.

Today, Thorogood continues to prioritize craftsmanship, innovation, and comfort, offering specialized boots for a wide range of professions, including electricians, carpenters, ironworkers, and more. With extended sizes, metatarsal guards, and a variety of styles, Thorogood caters to the unique needs of each worker.

As Thorogood celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2023, the brand remains committed to upgrading its facilities, equipment, and manufacturing processes, ensuring that its legacy of quality and innovation endures. With the recent launch of their first western wear product, the Thorogood Square Toe Wellingtons, the brand continues to evolve, meeting the diverse needs of its loyal customers.
