Customer Reviews Thorogood American Heritage 6" Moc Toe Safety

Very narrow. Some boots I don't even need a wide size but generally I order wide. These EE width boots were very tight right behind the toe box. My toes had room, and length wise felt great but so tight in that one spot. Had to return.

These are quality made boots of excellent materials. There is a short break-in period (1-2) days. I will say, however, that these boots are in a different category then Red Wing 875s. The Red Wing leather is much stronger and more of a classic boot. But the 875s, like most Red Wing Heritage boots are stiff and require a very extensive break-in period. But Red Wing leather will undoubtedly outlast that of Thorogood. Again, the two boots are in different categories. I have only included mention of the 875s because a lot of guys are torn between which boots to buy. I am in a construction related field and am on my feet and climbing ladders all day. I was not eager to suffer the break in that I know Red Wings require, nor was I willing to pay the extra money to basically destroy a $300 pair of boots. Thorogood is an excellent and more affordable alternative.

I wore Red Wings 875/877 for 12 years...after finding out about these I reserve the Red Wings for weekends. This boot is built heavier duty than my red wings and holds up better. It has heavier true double and some triple stitching and the maxwear sole seams to be softer but last longer than the Vibram sole. The leather is on par if not better than the Red Wings. If I had to choose one boot for life, Thorogood would be it. Best of all, they are made in the USA.

I had been wearing a pair of insulated Danner steel toes for about two years prior to getting these Thorogoods. The Thorogood are superior boots in every way. My toes were sore every day in the Danners but only rarely with the Thorogoods. There is zero break-in time unless you count the time they come out of the box all shiny and new when your crew busts you up a little for having clean boots. I am a superintendent building bridges so it is not uncommon to be in the boots for 16 hours a day six days a week. I live in a warm environment and the boots breath okay, as well as you could expect for 80° weather year round. The boots also hold up to water, mud and concrete very well. I probably have a solid 6,000 hours into these boots and everything is holding up great. The soles are starting to thin out a little but the leather, laces and toe are all 100 percent intact.

I am a plumber so I am always on my feet. (also type 1 diabetic so its so important to take care of my feet). Looks don't really matter to me for a work boot, but I loved how good looking this boot was. I usually never do a steal toe, but i thought I could give this boot a try (had a little doubt due to the steel toe) but I actually really love this boot. The toe didn't bother me at all and they held up nicely even though I am so incredibly hard on my work boots. I will definitely buy this brand again.

This boot is great. It was here in less than 72 hours .... thanks Zappos ... awesome as usual. I expected the boot to have to be broken in and leave a few blisters. Nope great out of the box. I have a narrow foot which this boot was great for! They definitely know what they are doing up in Wisconsin at the factory. Great boot. Better than anticipated!

The fit is great. The leather is awesome. It's soft and loose but seems very thick and strong. The sole is a bit flat and hard, but I planned on putting insoles in them anyhow. I'm on my feet 8 hours a day and my feet aren't throbbing at the end of the day. I gotta say they look great as well.

Great working shoe. Excellent quality and craftsmanship.

Comfortable work boot for day to day use.

My husbands feet usually reject every shoe I have ever bought him. However, he LOVES these. He says they are very comfortable and very warm, also waterproof. I like them because they look really good with jeans, and make him look like he has some style! I recommend these very much.

Had to get these for work, but you could easily wear them beyond just working. Not only are these great quality, they have a great look to them!

I purchased these at a local shop in Los Angeles, but the price still worked out to about the same. I was shopping around for something else today and ended up on this page, so I figured that I would share my experience. I had been wearing men's 13W shoes and boots for years in all sorts of styles (military, construction, etc) for 30 years. Most often Danners. But Danners are more expensive than get out these days, and their construction grade boot line-up is lacking. After trying on standard 13 at the local shop, I ordered the 13W safety toe version thinking that this should work. They did not. The standard wide was still way too narrow, and my feet were getting squeezed to the point that the toe was pushing through to the end of the toe box. I am reordered the 14W, and those were much better. A little localized stretching at one small-toe corner to accommodate a bunion, and everything is perfect in the foot world. These are easily as or more comfortable than any other full-leather, safety toe work boot that I have ever worn, including Danners (military and other styles). They seem more sturdy than Red Wings (I have not owned a pair, although I have tried them on many times). I totally forget that they are steel toe if I do not consciously think about it. Overall, one of the best value purchases that I have ever made in shoes. I have read that as one approaches and enters their 50's that their feet often will get bigger, as much as a full size. I would agree with that, up to a point. I recently purchased a pair of Merrill MOAB mid-tops for a Yosemite camping and hiking trip (Valley Floor loop). The Merrill 13W just fit comfortably, but barely, with thin socks. A 14W (unavailable to try on at the time) might have fit even better. Just be aware of this issue as we age.

Great work boots! Have spent many hours running around job sites and my feet have felt comfortable all day. Didn't take long to break in either.

I obtained a job at the last minute while I was on vacation and required to wear steel toe boots. I searched for a few days for the perfect pair that had zero break in time. I ended up ordering these Thorogood safety toes in a 12 regular width. I wouldn't consider my feet narrow but not wide either. I usually only wear athletic shoes, specifically, Nike Frees. The Nike 12.5 fits me perfectly and that's why I got the 12s in the Thorogood. When I received them they seemed too large and too narrow so Zappos sent me an 11.5 and EE to swap out for free and required me to return the pair I didn't chose within so many days. These boots have been excellent. The first moment I put them on there was a small pressure point where the leather overlapped but after about 10 minutes I didn't even notice. It's been about 4 weeks wearing the boots up to 14 hours a day. I couldn't have asked for a better pair. It is too soon to determine the quality but they're holding up well so far. Plus, they look fantastic! Very pleased and would buy them again as long as I get reasonable life out of them.

Just got these yesterday. I bought them for work (I work in a warehouse so a lot of walking and being on my feet) the outsoles are very durable and slip resistant. The steel toe is impact resistant to 75lbs and compression resistant to 2500 lbs. They seem to be comfortable (I only wore them a little since getting them). Very durable and high quality leather that is a bit stiff but I imagine will break in very nicely. If you're looking for a no frills get stuff done boot, this is probably it. (MADE IN USA.)

Boot felt extremely high quality. Top notch stitching and detail. Welt was impeccable and the leather on the boot was the best feeling leather ive ever seen on a workboot by far. Unfortunately even in a 12EE extra wide it was far too narrow for me. Which is a shame. I have wanted to try thorogood for a while but other manufacturers make boots that cater to guys like me with extra wide feet.

Didn't like the color and the size was much bigger than normal. Also toe had a slight lift to it. Didn't like that either.

True to fit and comfortable. Wear these for 12+ hour shifts on concrete and they hold up well.

Top Quality Boot. Boss Level.

Best boots I ever owned. I'm going to buy another set for casual wear. Highly recommend these boots. The laces were okay but I wanted beefer ones which I purchased off Amazon.

I ordered my usual size and had to reorder a size smaller

These shoes are really comfortable. They did not take long to break in but took about 4 days of wearing them to break them in. Just a minor detail but the shoelaces could be better hit overall the shoes are great.

Thorogood is a quality boot that functions well in an industrial environment and looks great. Boot does have speed hooks for lacing quickly. Only complaint is initially it does feel snug on the outside of my foot, but the leather does stretch. It takes less than a week to break in. I do recommend these if you don't mind a short break-in.

2 weeks in and I'm loving these boots. Out of the the box, these boots felt ready to wear. The toe protection was a little stiff around my toes the first 2 days but that seems to have smoothed out. The leather is soft and supple and I love the color. They did have a slight "chemical" smell, maybe from the dye? I put them through a lexol clean/condition and that has also gone away. It also seemed to make the color even richer. I wear a size 9 1/2 in Nikes and opted for 8.5 wide in these and they feel great.

Well crafted shoes.
