Thorogood American Heritage 6 Steel Toe Work Boots for Men

Thorogood's durable full-grain leather boots in the brand's iconic moc toe work boot design are both comfortable and capable of withstanding demanding jobs. These American-made boots are available in Tobacco (804-4200), Trail Crazyhorse (804-4575), and Midnight Black (804-6201) colorways. Crafted by skilled artisans at Thorogood's US facilities, these boots utilize a blend of US-sourced and globally procured components.

The boots feature a MAXWEAR WEDGE™ TRACTION OUTSOLE, which is more flexible than traditional work boot soles, absorbing impacts and protecting the feet and ankles while working on challenging surfaces. This outsole maintains traction even on loose gravel, wet, and oily surfaces, meeting the ASTM F3445-21 slip-resistance standards.

The steel toe boots for men safeguard the feet from on-site impact and compression hazards, while the design keeps them lightweight and flexible, making them among the best safety toe boots for those with hazardous occupations. These boots meet the ASTM F2413-18 safety toe standards.

The REMOVABLE ULTIMATE SHOCK ABSORPTION FOOTBED on the Poron Comfort Cushion Insole utilizes Thorogood's dual-density cushioning, which employs air-permeable open cells to wick away moisture and absorb shock, resulting in the most comfortable men's work boots available.

Electrical hazard (EH) resistance is another key feature of these boots, which meet the ASTM F2413-18 electrical hazard resistance safety standards.

Thorogood's heritage dates back to 1892, when 27-year-old Albert H. Weinbrenner opened a cobblery in Milwaukee, partnering with Joseph Peffer to serve the "Jobbing" trades. In 1900, the Albert H. Weinbrenner Co. was formed, and the company went on to achieve several milestones:
