[Denimrox]

Don't lurk around the boot section of board too much if you care about your wallet - you'll be ordering White's or Vibergs before you know it

[riffblaster general]

haha if you search enough you can find just about anything used for cheap.

[Denimrox]

Haha. I like boots and is so tempting to know more about boots and whites and wesco boots are so awesome! Haha! Yeah my wallet there's is a big hole there after I purchase a lot of things at one good ~~~ haha!
Do I need to put anything on my boots or when I need to put anything on my boots?

Anyone know if thorogood boots is pure leather?

[injunjack]

I have not treated my Thorogoods…I'd say they don't need it.

pure leather, at least all 3 pairs I have are genuine leather  (genuine is a fine animal, you can make almost anything out of it)

[Denimrox]

Don't have to treat it with anything? I was thinking about using obenauf Lp! Twice a year.

[tigerpac]

You can if you want - some treatments aren't going to hurt em, but they come nice and oily so you're good for awhile if you don't want to treat them.

[Denimrox]

Oh I see. Alright shall enjoy it now then. and gonna hexk that treatment shit. XD

Hi!

Just recently found this brand, seems really nice, and a lot cheaper than RW.

Can anyone tell me about these two models, are they built the same, same colors irl (the first seems darker to me)  I prefer the first one but harder to come across, I live in Sweden and searching for any store that ship international for a good price.. Do you know any?

Hey lalle81!
They look to be the same to me, just a bit shorter. The darker one could just be the lighting n the pic. They do make this style in a darker brown as well.
Try these guys, www.workingperson.com
I bought my Thorogoods through them and they were great to deal with, they also do international shipping, here is a link to their shipping info page http://workingperson.com/international-orders. They have a Swedish phone support number as well. You should be able to get what you need.
Hope it helps, and good luck

Lalle, Check out also Amazon.com. Sometimes good deals there. 8" height is like combat boot, 6" is ankle height.

your pic shows 6"

Has anyone tried the insulated boots, how are they, fit, comfort, lining, warmth etc?

[Denimrox]

Bought my thorogood boots at amazon too!

I said I'd spare ya'll an image of my "daily drivers" in the footwear care thread but I guess I feel compelled to point out how for the price point, Thorogoods are by far the best boot out there. Better than any RW, Chippewa or Carolina. I also understand that this forum tends to lean towards the aesthetics and maybe not every boot out there is put to its full test. I know the Thorogood styles are few and there are not a lot of lug sole options (that's why rod busters and iron workers prefer them).  I put on 5-7 miles every day on mine and considering the action and elements they see, I'm amazed that I can get a year and a half out of a pair. The break-in time is almost nothing and I’ve had them resoled up to two times. Now I just wear my Red Wings for gardening. For a union made American boot under $150, why wouldn’t you own three pairs?

[riffblaster general]

Absolutely agree.

[Seul]

Those look great!..

[natehate]

the new 1892 line looks interesting

Simonc, I haven't owned a pair of the insulated ones myself but an iron worker it know tried a pair and said they fit 1/2 larger rather than the usual 1 size larger. He ripped them to shreds in about 5 months during last winter and never complained about water infiltration.
