BOOT OF THE DAY | #164 | THOROGOOD LACE-TO-TOE ROFFER BOOT #814-6233 BLACK

i know the THOROGOOD ROOFER BOOT very well by walking some miles in it. but not in this awesome black one #814-6233 but in the tan brown THOROGOOD iconic roofer boot #633. and funny: after a while i took the roofer special sole away and put a VIBRAM #2021 on it which is similar to the VIBRAM CHRISTY. i never really liked the #633 and so i sold it on ebay a while ago to get some more space for my boot collection. but i must tell you that this black beauty is really nice – isn't it? i never saw the THOROGOOD ROOFER BOOT in black before i found it at  www.hickorees.com . one of the best online shops around the www.

some facts: black oil-tanned leather, GOODYEAR storm welt construction (fully resoleable), engineered composite shank, removable “Dual Density Ultimate Shock Absorption” footbed on Poron 4000 Comfort Cushion, VIBRAM CHRISTY blown rubber wedge outsole, seam reinforcing rivets. certainly made in the USA. pics | HICKOREES

WORK BOOT BRANDS | THE FOUNDING YEARS

nice to know, clear scheme, easy to keep in mind. ok, RED WING SHOES founded in 1905 was in mind,
having two centennial models in my cupboard. the others? THOROGOOD is the oldest brand? the VIBERG
boot manufacturing ltd. is missing; they make boots since 1931.

THOROGOOD BOOT No. 685 x RED WING Style 9161

very nice boot, the THOROGOOD BOOT No.685. in the 1950's introduced
as a job-fitted work shoe for farm wear. 144 pairs were exclusively made
for brooklyns EPAULET for fall 2010. the upper is of genuine horsehide
leather from chicago's HORWEEN tannery. a very nice boot reduced to
the max ... but sorry, the 685 looks so similar to the RED WING 9161 ...
