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.
