Just recieved my 8" moc toes today, first pair of Thorogoods for me, superb boots!
Info that might be of use for the uk guys. I take a uk 10 in most shoes Adidas, nike, etc in Redwings I went for a US 10 (UK 9) and did the same for the Thorogoods. Straight out of the box they are a better fit than the Redwings (which I find a little wide) the leather is more pliable as is the sole.
I ordered these through Amazon, the order was place on Tuesday night and they arrived today Thursday (not even 2 days) shipped from the US total price with shipping and import duty was £155 that's £100 cheaper than the equivilant Redwing and I have to say I can't see where that extra 100 would go.
The only thing I don't like and I'm being picky here is the great big 'Made in the US' flag on the side, I might have to get the scalpel out.

Nice. I'd cut off that awful tag, too. Terrible placement.

Just saw these: http://www.lapolicegear.com/thco3midcut.html
(Thorogood Code 3 Mid Cut)
They appear to be American made sneakers. Didn’t know that even existed outside of NB. Has anyone tried these; are they any good? -

No no … the 'murican flag must stay there
otherwise people think you're wearing flimsy redwings -
Deep breath, knife out…...... and the tags are gone. I think it was unnecessary and cheapened the boot.
Good call.

Need sizing advice on Thorogood shoes… I am going to order my mother these: Thorogood Women's Code 3 Hi Top Shoes http://www.mypostaluniforms.com/product/N1026466.htm?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=GPS&utm_campaign=GMerchants&gclid=CIqd8YPl0MACFWho7AodjFMAOQ
On the website (http://www.theunionbootpro.com/policies.cfm) it says "Thorogood MADE IN USA footwear tends to feel more generous as far as size goes when compared to imported footwear styles. Please keep that in mind when ordering. You may want to order a 1/2 size smaller than imported athletic style work shoes."
So if my mother wears 8.5 in most shoes than should she size down and get 8? Anyone else here size down .5 from their athletic shoe size?
Thanks -
@Andreas1965 wonderful boots

I was quite surprised with the quality of these; they are really top notch sneakers with nice thick almost boot-like leather, sculpted fit, good support, and a Vibram sole. Much better quality than Air Jordans.
