A legendary union-made boot that offers the best balance of out-of-the-box comfort and industrial safety. The MAXWear Wedge sole provides superior shock absorption for workers on concrete all day.
Ingredients & Purity
Oil-tanned full-grain leather. Features a fiberglass shank which is lighter than steel and doesn't set off metal detectors.
Scientific Evidence
ASTM F2413-18 and ASTM F3445-21 certified for slip resistance and electrical hazard protection.
Brand Transparency
Manufactured by Weinbrenner Shoe Company, a worker-owned company in Wisconsin. Clear labeling of US-sourced materials and union labor.
Value Assessment
At ~$250, this is the best value 'professional' grade boot on the market that remains resoleable.
Why Not Alternatives?
Beats the Red Wing Classic Moc in a work context because it includes an actual safety toe and a more cushioned midsole. Many competitors in this price range use cement construction, whereas Thorogood uses a Goodyear Storm Welt for easy resoling.
