Thorogood American Legacy Series 8 Crazyhorse Waterproof Leather Work Boots for Men

Thorogood, a brand with a rich heritage dating back to 1892, has been crafting durable and comfortable work boots in the USA or with imported components. The brand's dedication to quality and innovation is evident in its latest product offerings.

The Thorogood work boots feature a Crazyhorse full-grain leather upper, providing exceptional durability and comfort. The Vibram 1275 Olympia rubber outsole, combined with a composite shank, delivers superior slip and oil resistance, meeting ASTM F3445 industry standards. Additionally, the boots are equipped with a removable Ultimate Shock Absorption footbed, ensuring all-day comfort and safety.

Thorogood's commitment to worker safety is further demonstrated by the inclusion of a Nano safety toe, which is thinner and lighter than traditional composite toes, without compromising protection. These boots are designed to be waterproof, keeping feet dry and comfortable throughout the workday.

The brand's heritage can be traced back to 1892, when Albert H. Weinbrenner, at the age of 27, opened a cobblery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his partner, Joseph Peffer, serving the "Jobbing" trades. The company's evolution over the decades is marked by several key milestones:

• 1900: The Albert H. Weinbrenner Co. is formed.
• 1916: The first catalog is printed, and the company has more leather-cutting machines than any other in the U.S.
• 1917: The "Job-fitted" concept is introduced, and Weinbrenner becomes a major contributor of boots to the U.S. Army during World War I.
• 1938: The company takes its first steps into safety footwear production.
• 1942: The company celebrates 50 years in business and converts to all-military footwear for the duration of World War II, producing combat and dress styles.
• 1964: The Official Boy Scout Boot, the Hike n' Camp, is introduced with a wedge sole and moccasin-style stitching, becoming the company's best-selling boot.
• 1988: The company is purchased by a local group, including six employees, and the "ThoroGard" division is created, featuring high-tech occupational safety footwear.
• 2000: Weinbrenner employees take ownership of the company through an ESOP.
• 2014: The 1892 Heritage line of handcrafted, lifestyle boots is introduced, built on the iconic No. 60 last.
• 2022: Weinbrenner celebrates 130 years as a company, opening a new factory in Merrill, Wisconsin, and launching its first western wear product, the Thorogood Square Toe Wellingtons.

Today, Thorogood continues to demonstrate its commitment to quality and innovation, with sales increasing as the brand gains popularity and expands its product offerings. The company's long-standing tradition of craftsmanship and worker safety remains at the core of its mission.
