Thorogood

American Heritage 6" Moc Toe

Men's

So i read a ton of reviews. None of which helped because it was either “they fit good” or they were horrible. Im here to help because these boots are badass and comfy as hell. I wear a 10.5 in most all shoes... 10.5 in Vans Authentic 10 in Vans Old Skool, 10.5 in Nike, 43/44 in Havianas, and 10/43 in most boots. I sized down from my normal shoe size 10.5 to a 10 based off of a few reviews that were somewhat helpful. Now i dont wear thick socks with boots because im in California and you just dont need em. I did try these on brand new with some Darn Tough brand full wool hiking socks and it wasnt bad tight. Maybe after breaking in they would be comfortable. Right out of the box i worked a full day. Lighter than most of my boots and was walking on clouds. As far as style they have a great profile and arent as bulky as some Moc Toe’s i have. Honestly these blow my Red Wings out of the water. Plan on using them with the motorcycle, Work, daily life and everything in between. A definite buy in my book. Get a pair and rage hard in em.

Simply put these are awesome right out of the box. Over thirty-five years in construction I've wore out a pile of boots. Many of them Red Wing 6" Moc Heritage Classics as up until now they were my go-to boot if I didn't need steel toes. Not any more. My new Thorogood 6" Soft Moc Toe boots are hands down a better boot. Like the Heritage Classic they are made in the USA by Union craftsman, but these Thorogoods are better designed, better built, considerably more comfortable out of the box and as if that wasn't enough...they're priced better than Red Wings too. It'll take a few months of use before I can give an honest appraisal of their durability. So far it's two thumbs up.

These boots were comfy from day one. The leather is very soft and supple. After 6 months though, the insoles flat out fell apart. I work as a project manager, so I'm on my feet most of the day walking around job sites, but I expected more out of a pair of work boots at this price point. I've had my Carolina boots for years, and have had no such problem.

These boots look great and are super well constructed. They are also the most uncomfortable pair of footwear that I've ever worn - I mean worse than cheap hockey skates. The stitching of the moccasin toe, the tongue, and the upper all converge precisely on the side of your big toe knuckle. After reading through many reviews I thought, "they should break in with a couple days of work and form to my foot". Sure, they formed to my foot, but after four full (10 hour) days of carpentering and one day of grouse hunting they feel as painful as when I first put them on. Unfortunately, it's too late to return them as I've been using them daily, so there goes $200 down the drain. Everything else about them is awesome(except the top eyelet, wtf is the plan with that?). I might try to sell them on eBay or maybe see if I can have a local boot guy fix them. In the meantime I'll be ordering the same boot in the non-mod-toe version, which I just discovered is a thing.
