Thorogood

i'm not complaining for $140 haha.  they will certainly get the job done.

I'm just about to order same boots in Tobacco brown and 8" high. Need to know if they are true to size or should I go half size up or down.

[riffblaster general]

i went tts.  i'm a 9 in the alden indy,  9 in rw iron ranger,  i got a 9 in this boot.

[injunjack]

ok
my sendra's are 42/9 Carolinas 9 and chippewas 9. Chippewas are plenty roomy, otherwise 9 is my tts. I read somewhere one should size half down on iron rangers, so that makes me wonder…anyhow you got tts on these and ir's...

decisions, decisions...

[riffblaster general]

sizing down half on iron rangers makes sense because i put an insole in them and they still fit.

[injunjack]

Just pulled the trigger on these….8"

[riffblaster general]

nice.  hope you dig em!

[injunjack]

I'm sure I will.
I think I'm going to get me one pair of boots still this spring, must open a new thread then…and a pair of Vans for the summer.

@riffblaster:

I would recommend these to anyone.  Wish i hadnt missed out on the limited horsehide boots they made for Epaulet last year.

anyone else have a pair?  i think i saw TVShooter with a pair in waywt.

Nice pickup riffblaster! There is also the 685…

[riffblaster general]

thanks lando.

the 685's are awesome but i really wanted the horsehide workboot they made:

i found out about them too late and they ran out of my size.  oh well, i'm happy with my black pair.

far be it for nate to post a picture of himself but here are the Thorogoods seeing alot of action. Take note of the detail matching SG! Hah!

Missed the show, was probably on the Continental Air service area line. Next time.

[riffblaster general]

hahaha you talked me up too much man! i just posted another live shot in what are you doing today.

now i feel like a ham.

bummed you missed the show, it was a blast.  hopefully you can make the next one!

on topic:The Thorogoods look badass. Don't need to apologize.

off topic: I've been rocking Darkness Come Alive at least once a day since I got it. Up there with Here Come the Waterworks, _Meandertha_l, Death is This Communion as recent favorites of the last couple years.

[riffblaster general]

on topic:  Thanks!  I really love these boots.  they are WAY more comfortable than the Red Wing boots i've owned.  the sorbothane cushion/removable insole combo take em to the next level for sure.

off topic:  wow man, thank you so much!! thats amazing.

brilliant pic - and the boots look great

[riffblaster general]

thank you sir

[injunjack]

my Thorogoods were just delivered. Got them from Papashoe through Amazon. They wrote very nice value to customs declaration, so I got them without paying extra for customs. Kudos for that.

and here's the proof…

Thorogoods, 8" Tobacco Brown. I really like the leather and the color of it.  These are my first brown boots or shoes in some 25 yrs. I went TTS, 9D. They felt a bit tight at first, but after ½hour they felt very comfy. The insole is awesome. and changing that, if needed, one gets plenty room in the boot. ( me thinks I can forget RW's and mainstream . There are SO nice boots out there with same or better quality and less money    )
Otherwise RBG said about everything in his opening post. Except I like the thick but soft tongue on these.
