The most comfortable boot you will ever encounter!
Update: Ok, I'm kinda upset with Thorogood. I bought these boots on the premise that they were the most comfortable boots around. They have went cheap on the materials used.I got these boots and the insoles are different. They are yellow and black. They are the worst insoles ever, killed my feet the first week in. I had to buy timberland insoles (they suck as well). Finally had to insert some Walmart brand that does the trick.I'm kinda upset with Thorogood, I will contact the company and see if these are the correct insoles for this boot. But by far they are terrible.This is my 2nd pair of Thorogood boots in a year, my first pair made it through welding school and on the farm pretty well. It's the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I first bought the sewn top pair in a hurry. Luckily they held up well to all the Sparks and slag welding. This time I wanted to try the version I recently bought to avoid the possibility of the stitching to burn.As of right now, these boots are great! I slip them on and they remind me of tennis shoes. I will repost back in 6 months after hanging iron in the field!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2021
I'm a bricklayer and unlike alot of bricklayer I like to have decent boots been eyeing a pair of these up for months and months the moc toe version didn't seem a good idea as the mortar would rot the stitching on the toe only time will tell with these but over the last week they have been fine a bit slick in mud but all boots are when they fill up.

Im normally a side 9 but ordered a size 9.5 as they didn't have a nine and I read people saying to toe box felt crampt and I would say this a are on the larger size for my foot but once done up tight they are fine
