You're very welcome Gentleman Within. I'm curious whether you also opted for the wider (EE) width when you sized down or did you just break in the regular width?. I went down 1/2 size and ordered both the regular and wide versions. The regular is a hair narrow. but the (EE) feels a little wide. Any advice on which version to keep?
@gentwithin
5 жыл бұрын
that's a tough one because i'm in a similar boat. the regular is a bit narrow and so i'd like to think a wide would've been the better choice, esp since i like to wear thick socks with rugged boots like these. I'd stick with the regular though as they will continue to break in through the next dozen or so wears.

these are my favorite Moc Toes. I have owned them for a year and love them thus far. I like how they don't look like clown shoes on me, which is an issue with all the major competitors. I got the black, but almost got the same ones you have. I didn't like the MADE IN USA tag, but have come to like it. they are the most versatile rugged boots IMO. I do like the soft leather. they aren't the best quality, but they are great and I love the storm welt. That is what sold me and I'm glad I got one. They are good in all weather.

Thorogood boots are fantastic, and I own a couple pairs. I recommend them to people with total confidence. I have a decent amount of experience with them, and I see them frequently on job sites and in public(Midwest winter.) I find it very hard to believe you've worn them for 4 years on any kind of regular basis. They just don't look like that anymore after a few dozen wears. Not to say they wear poorly. They look amazing after being broken in. I just don't think you've worn yours much. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont use the waxed laces. Straight leather. If you are just wearing them they stay tied all day. But if you are working in them they will not stay tied unless you double knot them. Strong laces tho

I enjoyed the video great content. I had a pair of 814-4200 and enjoyed every bit of wearing them (even the break in). I used them strictly for work as they were so comfy but rugged and looked great. Great value for the price. One thing I didnt like was the loose grain. Keep up the great content brother! One question: what are you using to film with? Thanks in afvance!

When we're shoes that you have discussed on this clip not to make a fashion statement but to be able to do labor work comfortably and safely. People pre disposed with looks and cloth items usually as there are exceptions to some rules. Tend to be self absorbed more materialistic and often leads to a degree of hypocrisy.

Nope not a work boot. I tried to give them a chance but they have failed. Probably the worst pair of boots I’ve ever owned. They look good that’s about it. Toe box is tight and heel/ankle sloppy loose. My first pair I bought was a wide and I thought that I bought the wrong size. So I bought another pair not wide though and I have the same problem. Junk boots don’t waste your money!

I’m curious what you do wear? I’ve had everything from red wing, wolverines, brunt, danner… Where none of them last me even a year, the thorogoods have held up the best. Actually, the red wings sole wore out the quickest. I did have them resoled and they were just heavy and uncomfortable after that. Have yet to try Nick’s, but it’ll happen eventually.
