Thorogood American Heritage 8 Soft Toe Work Boots for Men

Thorogood, a legacy brand with over 130 years of craftsmanship, presents their premium work boots crafted with care in the USA. These boots are made from 100% full-grain, oil-tanned leather sourced globally and assembled by skilled artisans at Thorogood's domestic facilities.

The Thorogood work boots feature a MAXWEAR WEDGE™ TRACTION OUTSOLE that exceeds the flexibility and shock absorption of traditional work boot soles, keeping you stable and secure on wet or oily surfaces. This outsole has been tested and certified to meet ASTM F3445-21 industry standards for slip-resistance.

For added protection, these boots are engineered with electrical hazard (EH) resistance, meeting ASTM F2892-18 safety standards. A removable Poron Comfort Cushion insole provides ultimate shock absorption, utilizing air-permeable open cell cushioning that resists moisture for all-day comfort.

Thorogood's renowned Goodyear Storm Welt construction offers superior wear resistance and a durable moisture seal between the upper and midsole, ensuring these work boots are dependable and fully-serviceable. A fiberglass shank provides the necessary flex and strength to maintain the boots' shape under heavy use, complemented by 8-inch flexible ankle support for secure, stable footing.

Thorogood's heritage can be traced back to 1892, when 27-year-old Albert H. Weinbrenner opened a small cobblery in Milwaukee, servicing the "Jobbing" trades. Over the decades, the company evolved, becoming a major supplier of boots to the U.S. Army during both World Wars and introducing iconic products like the Hike n' Camp boot, which remains a best-seller today.

In 1988, the company was purchased by a local group including six employees, leading to the creation of the high-tech "ThoroGard" occupational safety footwear line. In 2000, Thorogood employees took ownership of the company through an ESOP, and in 2014, the heritage-inspired "1892" lifestyle boot collection was introduced.

Today, Thorogood continues to celebrate its rich history, demonstrating a renewed commitment to upgrading domestic facilities, implementing modern manufacturing methods, and expanding its product offerings, including the recent launch of Western-style Square Toe Wellingtons. As Thorogood gains popularity, sales continue to grow, with many exciting new styles on the horizon for this enduring American brand.
