"Boots that I'm wearing on my last day" has special meaning to me. My Father (a farmer), died wearing his Redwing boots and his straw cowboy hat. Both were well worn, and both were items of daily attire. The boots always, and the hat in the summertime. I happened to know a sculptor and approached her with a project. Could you please take the boots and hat, and arrange them in a grouping and cast them in bronze. I have two siblings, and requested that she do three castings..........one for each of us. She allowed me to choose the title. I called it 'A Fine Example', and have hopes that these will be passed down to first born children for generations to come. I must say thanks to you for providing a 'Fine Example' on a daily basis for all of us that subscribe. I always enjoy.
I wonder how many young people are going to be scratching their heads an saying - Who's Jed Clampet ? 😹😹😸😺
You give me a feeling of pride when it comes to blue collar work. Hats off to you sir.
I started wearing this boot around 2016. After taxes, I was checking out at around $220 these boots, last me roughly around the year little over a year. Every time I would go and buy a new pair Thorogood would raise their prices. It is now 2023 earlier this year after taxes I was checking out at just over $290 I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t bring myself to pay that much money I don’t know why Thorogood has done this to us, but I refuse to pay that much. Everyone will say they’re worth every penny. That is bs.
It wasn't until I purchased a pair of Nick's Handmade Boots out of Spokane that my 52yrs old, size 14 feet felt like they had found a home. 18yrs driving LtL is killer without the proper footwear.
I've have had some of the most passionate arguments on footwear. I'm a red wing man myself. I work at a shipyard, and I'm walking on steel all day long. So my mates and I discussed footwear a lot. Thanks for bringing this topic to light.
Tried a lot of different boots on the farm, ended up in red wings but they had to be USA made no overseas. US made would last 5-7 years in the wet to nasty stuff farmers get in to, US are tough to find though Red Wings store had only ten to choose from versus 50 plus from overseas
Do yourself a huge favor and buy some redwing boot arch supports to put inside your work boots wow they are fantastic
Im a sprinkler technician out of Philadelphia . I have had these same boots for about 4 years now Thorogood 8" , moctoe, wedge sole . I also dress them with huberd's shoe grease. So I didn't learn much from this video but holy smokes you sure can tell a story mister and that deserves a like and definitely a follow.
Been iron working 11 years. Thorogood all the way. Union made. Comfortable walking the iron. I even wear an 8” soft toe when I’m not at work.
I've been wearing Thorogood boots for years. Love them!
Long-time Thorogood wearer. I always enjoy your vids and especially loved the Vegas cashier story. It was sweet and a great way to wrap it all up. Keep on keepin' on!
You sir have another subscriber. The Jed Clampet comment was all I needed to hear. I'm 62 now. Been wearing Red wings since I was 12 or so. They quit making my boot about 25 years ago or so. And I've resoled my pair about 5/6 times I think. I'm still working. Construction. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your video. I'll check into both these boots, cause you know what works for one don't work for another. Thank you sir.
I love redwings, but I have a pair of Thorogood's that I use at my day job on a sheep farm. Every other cheap boot I bought for the job barely lasted a year, but I've had the Thorogood's now for over a year and they are going strong with no sign of failure in sight. I love your calm voice. I think you've earned my subscription.
Scott,
I have a pair of both and I also prefer the thorogoods. I have a casual pair that have been going strong for 6-7 years with 1 resole. Great video and info as always.
I subscribed when I watched your boot video 6 yrs ago. Appreciate all your videos, insight, wisdom, and stories sir. Keep doing what you're doing. With all these companies today outsourcing labor and chasing profits over a quality product and source of origin.. my next boot will be a Thorogood.
Thorogood is all I’ve worn for about ten years whether working on a concrete floor, construction site, or in the woods cutting trees. I love the 6” comp toe wedge sole for the shop and site, and the 8” steel toe logger in the woods. They make some models with an extra wide “emperor toe” that are very comfortable as well. Being that they’re USA made, durable, comfortable, and reasonably priced, I probably will always choose them for work.
When taking care of my 8” Redwing moc toe boots, I’ve used Redwing boot oil and Sno-Seal, the Sno-Seal was a better waterproof product that you’d warm your boots in an oven to get them really warm and then rub it in and it would melt into the leather with really good coverage.
Wearing my first pair of thorogoods, and first moc toe. very pleased with them. I was worried about the sparks like you’ve mentioned but have no issues. 2 years of welding and fabrication work and I’m just now wearing thru the toe. My fault not the boot, the other boot is in great shape. Love the outsole.
