The moccasin-toe style work boot has been a staple at job sites since the 50s, giving workers the protection and comfort they need during a long day’s work. The design gives you extra room in the toe box so you won’t feel constricted, and the 6-inch shaft provides coverage at the ankles. Speed hooks and a pull tab at the heel help for easy on-and-off.
These boots have a wedge sole and are well suited for construction and building sites—the flat soles and absence of a heel mean they go up ladders easily, won’t get caught on uneven surfaces, and won’t snag while you step over building materials. They require a break-in period but customers report these are comfortable after a couple of wears.
Thorogood makes these boots in the U.S. with both U.S. and globally sourced components. You can send them to the company to have them resoled and repaired. Berendsohn has had a pair of his Thorogood boots rebuilt and insists they’re “good boots that, even under daily wear, will give years of use.”
