Thorogood Soft Streets Chukka Boots for Men - Premium Black Leather

Soft Streets Athletic Work Boots for Men: A Century-Old Legacy of American Craftsmanship

Thorogood, a brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1892, presents the Soft Streets series of chukka boots, a testament to their commitment to quality and American-made excellence.

These boots, crafted by skilled craftsmen at Thorogood's US plants, are Berry Amendment Compliant, ensuring they are entirely manufactured with US-sourced components. The premium full-grain black leather used in these boots is durable, flexible, and long-lasting, designed to withstand the demands of long work days while maintaining a great appearance.

The Soft Streets outsole provides superior traction on hard, wet, and slippery surfaces, meeting the ASTM F489-96 Slip Test Standards. This non-slip feature is crucial for workers engaged in fast-paced jobs, ensuring their safety and stability on the job.

Comfort is a top priority with the Soft Streets chukka boots. The removable comfort 125 footbed, featuring a contoured heel cup, provides rebound and impact protection, as well as comfort during extended shifts. The direct attach construction allows for a secure binding of the outsole, granting these boots their lightweight durability and flexibility.

Thorogood's "Job-Fitted" design philosophy means these chukka boots excel in a wide range of workplaces, making them ideal for postal workers, delivery drivers, carpenters, warehouse and stock workers, and high-intensity food service professionals.

The brand's history is a testament to its commitment to quality and innovation. Founded in 1892 by Albert H. Weinbrenner, the company has a rich legacy of providing footwear to the US military during both World Wars and introducing the "Job-Fitted" concept in 1917.

Over the decades, Thorogood has remained at the forefront of safety footwear production, with the company taking its first steps into this field in 1938. In 1964, the company introduced the iconic Hike n' Camp boot, which became its best-selling model and is still available today in its original design.

In more recent years, Thorogood has continued to evolve, with the company being purchased by a local group of investors, including six employees, in 1988. The "ThoroGard" division was created, featuring high-tech occupational safety footwear. In 2000, Thorogood's employees took ownership of the company through an ESOP, further solidifying their commitment to the brand.

As Thorogood celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2022, the company continues to demonstrate its dedication to upgrading and improving its domestic facilities, manufacturing methods, and computer systems, ensuring that the Soft Streets chukka boots and all their products maintain the high level of quality that has defined the brand for over a century.
