Thorogood 1957 Series 6-inch Briar Pitstop Waterproof Steel Moc Toe Wedge Sole U.S. Made Men's Work Boot - 804-3600

The Thorogood 1957 is a 6-inch steel toe work boot with a wedge sole and classic mid-century style that look so nice you'll want to wear them on the weekend as much as you will to work. The Briar Pitstop full-grain leather upper will form a protective patina over time, which not only means that these American-made work boots will age beautifully but also last longer since the leather is left in its original state with all of its naturally durable qualities. On top of that, the 1957 features Goodyear Storm Welt construction which means that the outsole is sewn to the upper rather than glued, allowing for multiple re-soling over the years. Although you won't have to worry about that for awhile, since the polyurethane MAXWear wedge outsole lasts up to 20-30 percent longer and is less prone to cracking than the rubber used on other work boots. The slip-resistant wedge outsole used on this steel toe work boot is for the most part flat. This design is ideal for ironworkers or carpenters who may have to work up on scaffolding since it provides maximum surface contact, and the absence of a heel virtually eliminates the risk of tripping should you have to shift your footing. These are also great for factory workers who have to stand on hard concrete floors all day since the flatness of the sole puts less strain on your spine, as well as roofers and farmers as wedge soles track less of the outdoors in with you thanks to their very shallow tread pattern.

Should conditions turn nasty on the jobsite, these work boots feature an X-Stream waterproof breathable membrane which locks water out while allowing your feet to breathe to keep you dry on all accounts. On top of that, an Ultimate Shock Absorption footbed cushions your every footfall for maximum comfort, while a lightweight fiberglass shank helps to reduce the added strain and fatigue of long hours spent on your feet.
