Thorogood's heritage dates back to 1892 when 27-year-old Albert H. Weinbrenner opened a cobblery in Milwaukee with partner Joseph Peffer, serving the "Jobbing" trades. The company was officially formed in 1900 and printed its first catalog in 1916, boasting more leather cutting machines than any other in the US.

In 1917, Thorogood introduced the "Job-fitted" concept and became a major contributor of boots to the US Army during World War I. The company took its first steps into safety footwear production in 1938 and converted to all-military footwear during World War II, producing combat and dress styles that also became popular with civilians.

Thorogood celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1942 and its workers organized under the International Boot & Shoe Workers Union in 1943, maintaining an outstanding relationship with management to this day. The company's best-selling boot, the Hike n' Camp with a wedge sole and moccasin-style stitching, was introduced in 1964.

In 1988, the company was purchased by a local group including six employees, and the "ThoroGard" division was created, featuring high-tech occupational safety footwear. Thorogood became employee-owned through an ESOP in 2000 and has since expanded its offerings, including the 1892 Heritage line of handcrafted lifestyle boots introduced in 2014.
