@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:

[riffblaster general]

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.

[ronaldlsh]

How's the sizing for these compared to Red wings Moc Toes? I wear a size US10/UK9 for 8138. Should I go for the same size?

mine are not very waterproof.  they are super comfortable and tough though.
