The Thorogood® Story

The foundation you stand on is only as good as what you're standing in – and people wearing Thorogood® boots are seldom just standing around. As an employee-owned company in Wisconsin, Thorogood® takes pride in building high-quality, job-fitted footwear designed for hard-working people around the world. Shift by shift for 130 years, we've been building shoes to work hard and to always work. And once the shift is over, we've got no problem finding other ways and other places to put those boots to work.
Thorogood® boots are tough, durable, and provide support throughout the day to help you get the job done. Whether you're pounding pavement, raising the roof, on the hunt, or at the jobsite, we build boots to give our customers the firm footing they need to get you through the day. Because "good enough" is never good enough. Since 1892, we've been pouring our soul into every sole, proving our worth with every welt, furthering our legacy with every lace.

ABOUT THOROGOOD

[H2] At Thorogood, we’re proud to trace our legacy all the way back to 1892.
That’s when Albert Weinbrenner, a first-generation German immigrant, took over his father’s cobbler shop in Milwaukee. The small business catered to the city’s workers and tradespeople, and Albert, who had begun apprenticing at age 13, believed he was on to something with his vision for “job-fitted” footwear.
What began way back then is still growing today. Thorogoods are built to specs Albert would be proud of, and our work has expanded to three Wisconsin factories and beyond. Regardless of which style you choose or what you wear them for, Thorogoods never compromise. The attention to every single detail is unparalleled. The quality and care are apparent the moment you take them out of the box. And our signature combination of old-world craft and modern technology delivers the ultimate in comfort and durability.
In other words, as we like to say around here: We work harder on our boots so you can work harder in them. It’s a promise we’ve been keeping for over 130 years. And we plan on keeping it a whole lot longer.

[H2]
USA MANUFACTURING

Since 1980, over 1,000 shoe factories in the United States have closed. Fast forward to today, and over 95% of shoes sold in the USA are manufactured in countries like China, Vietnam, and others.  Yet, Weinbrenner has remained steadfast in our commitment to crafting footwear in Wisconsin since 1892. Why? Because we believe in the unparalleled skill and dedication of American craftsmen and women. It's no secret that producing footwear in the USA comes with its challenges, but we firmly believe that when given the opportunity, American artisans can create footwear of the highest caliber. At Weinbrenner, we strive to uphold this tradition by sourcing most of our components domestically, including our premium USA leather hides. However, there are instances where we utilize quality materials from global sources to ensure the excellence of our products. That is why you see a “Made in USA with USA & Globally Sourced Components” label on our footwear. Final construction on those boots is always completed in our Union factories in Wisconsin. Through our commitment to American manufacturing, we proudly declare that we produce the finest footwear money can buy.

Finally found my favorite boots

I waited a couple months to leave a review so I could give a better opinion. These are now the best boots I've ever owned. I have worn at least 4-5 other major brands that specialize in work boots. I am a repairman for a telecommunications company, so I spend my days outside. Most of these days are up ladders, down in manholes, or in excavated pits. They have held up in every situation. They're the first waterproof boot I've had in a while that don't have thick padding on the inside. I love that because my feet don't sweat as much in the heat. Also, my feet have stayed bone dry in the rain. The break-in process was probably only about a week. When winter comes around again, I will be purchasing an insulated pair. I've been in this industry for 16 years and have been trying to find the best boot. Well I just found it. The only even remotely negative thing I can say, is that after standing on a ladder for 4 hours, my feet do tend to get sore.

Best in the industry

Have been the most comfortable and durable boots I have gotten in the past 10 years working construction. Love their 1 year warranty as they are true to their word.
