Thorogood 1957 Series 8 Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots for Men

Thorogood, a heritage brand founded in 1892, has been crafting high-quality work boots for over a century. The 1957 Series Men's 8" Moc Toe, MAXWear Wedge Waterproof Non-Safety Toe Boot is a testament to the company's enduring commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

Crafted from premium full-grain leather in a rich Briar Pitstop brown, these boots embody the classic, hard-working style of mid-century America. The sturdy Goodyear Storm Welt construction ensures worry-free wear and easy re-soling, allowing these boots to last for years.

The boots feature a MAXWEAR WEDGE™ TRACTION OUTSOLE that flexes better than other work boot outsoles, absorbing impacts and protecting your feet and ankles while working on difficult surfaces. This outsole meets ASTM F3445-21 Slip Test Standards, keeping you steady on your feet even on loose gravel, wet, and oily surfaces.

The 8-inch shaft height provides ample ankle support, while the gusseted tongue keeps water and liquids at bay. The moisture-wicking lining pulls sweat away, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable even in demanding work environments.

For added protection, these boots are equipped with a steel toe that meets ASTM F2413-18 safety toe standards, shielding your feet from impact and compression hazards. However, the design keeps the boots light and flexible, making them some of the best safety toe boots for men with dangerous jobs.

Thorogood's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation is evident throughout the 1957 Series. The boots are made in the USA with domestic and globally sourced components by the skilled craftsmen and women at Thorogood's US plants, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.

The brand's rich history is equally impressive. Founded in 1892 by Albert H. Weinbrenner, the company has been a major contributor to the U.S. Army's footwear needs, from World War I to the present day. The company's "Job-fitted" concept, introduced in 1917, has been a guiding principle, ensuring that workers receive specialized boots tailored to their unique needs.

Over the decades, Thorogood has continued to innovate, introducing the iconic Hike n' Camp boot in 1964 and the ThoroGard line of high-tech occupational safety footwear in the 1980s. The company's commitment to its employees is also noteworthy, with a long-standing partnership with the International Boot & Shoe Workers Union and an ESOP program that allowed employees to take ownership of the company in 2000.

As Thorogood celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2023, the 1957 Series Men's 8" Moc Toe, MAXWear Wedge Waterproof Non-Safety Toe Boot stands as a testament to the brand's enduring legacy of quality, innovation, and dedication to the hardworking men and women who rely on their footwear to get the job done.
