Thorogood

[riffblaster general]

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

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.

Don't care for the first one but the Pebble one is interesting.

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]

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.

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.

they look good IJ - nice scoop

after having a look at thorogood in the flesh - they certainly look at least a match for anything in that price range

[dizco]

and apparently it goes on mega sale on amazon (UK), 85,41 pound (with free S&H)

[riffblaster general]

nice injunjack!  very happy you like them!!  mine have been great so far.

I have been looking at a pair of these for a while now.

Does anyone know how waterproof the American Heritage Wedge boot is?

Any comparisons against Danner boots?

For reference I currently wear Danner Tinner and Workman GTX boot.
