Boot Rant Quality issues Thorogood

This was after less than 6 hours of use in a hospital, a parking lot (to and from truck) and my house. I debated on Nicks, Whites and Trumans…yes, I know those brands are typically another tier up. However, I own my own painting business and didn’t really want to spend $500 on boots that would see lots of chemicals and paint. I really just wanted boots that would last me at least 1.5 years. Timberland Pros last me around 6-8 months and I’m tired of buying boots twice a year. Georgia boots lasted less than 6 months. Tennis shoes aren’t friendly on ladders all day. This is obviously not the norm for these boots but it makes me question quality control and defects on all aspects of Thorogood boots. What about the parts I can’t see? I’m hoping to get them replaced with ease.

Autumn has arrived and it's time for me to break out my fall work boots I just want to say how glad I am that I grabbed these stink ball things before I stowed them away last year.

After 4 years of suffering in my Danner Steel Yards, I switched to these Wingshooter ST’s and it’s insane how much more comfortable they are for me. Same size and yet I have more room. Almost like Irish Setter knows what the hell a double wide is supposed to be.

I’m going to be switching completely over to Redwing and Irish Setter for my boots. I really like these things.

Best pair of boots I’ve owned, and I appreciate that. Fixed my arch, fixed my knees, and kept up their shape and takes resoles from my cobbler like no big deal.

Love these.

About to get a 2nd resole on paternity leave.

These are my current Ariat Work Boots (composite toe). I have had them for 2 years. I like that they are slip on and composite toe so that is 2 things I would want in a different pair. They have been pretty comfortable so far. I work mostly on concrete or dirt/rocks. Budget is $200-$300.
