Thorogood
-
Was asked my opinion on these in the WAYWT shoes edition thread so I thought I'd post a couple more pics and a small review here.
I like these boots a lot! The leather is really nice and thick but soft and these boots were broken in the minute I put them on. They have a removable insole with some nice arch support and with the vibram wedge sole these things feel like running shoes, very very comfortable, and they aren't overly heavy. I like to wear 2 pairs of thick socks always so I went with my TTS which is 9US and they are perfect, however, if I wore one pair of socks I would have gone a half size down because they run aprox a half size big. They also come in different widths and I got EE and it's fine. I would say that these are comparable to Redwings, but the price is nicer, and they are made in the US. Just a good pair of everyday comfortable boots. Definitely happy with these and would recommend them.

does thorogood not have a site
Gotta keep those margins low!
But from Google'ing around, this is probably their official site:

Rager,
Thorogood are just as good as Red Wing, imho, but half the price. Go to Hickorees or Genuine Motor Works in BK to try them on.

I always wanted a moc toe + vibram sole pair in EE, but it's hard to find for Red Wings. For $100~150 or whatever, I'll give em a shot for laughs.
Brass eyelets on black is a crime, but whatever…easy fix. Strangely, the brown ones (also pretty cool) have silver eyelets. What the hell.

Hey natehate,
I live in Ontario and I ordered from http://workingperson.com. They ship free to the states and they have an international checkout option. I called my order in and they were really helpful. Sending a PM.
