If you’re looking for a stylish yet effective work boot, look no further than the Men’s American work boot from Thorogood. Known for their relentless focus on craftsmanship, comfort, and innovation, Thorogood recognizes the importance of safety footwear. However, they still maintain a level of style that can’t be found in most work boots these days.

True to their heritage, Thorogood collaborated with boilermakers, ironworkers, safety directors, and electricians to create the safest outsole for every job site. They spent two years working to develop the exclusive MAXWear outsole that outlasts the majority of other outsoles by as much as 30%.
They started with the MAXWear Wedge. Then, they created the MAXWear 90 through its predecessor’s proven performance in the field, as well as the high demand from safety directors for a heeled sole. Both of these products offer superior durability and comfort in comparison to much of the competition.
These boots, like the person that wears them, are built to last and can face any task thrown at them. As we mentioned earlier, they look good when you aren’t working, too, which is hard for a work boot to do. The stylish leather is oil-tanned using tobacco and allows your feet to breathe.
They are constructed with soles that are able to resist electrical shocks. The heels are capable of withstanding an application of 18,000 volts and 60 Hz for a maximum of one minute. This is only possible under dry conditions and with no current flow or leakage.
The shock-absorbing insole is removable, making it very easy to clean. One of the major problems that boots face, especially work boots, is cleanliness. More often than not, we are sweating when doing hard work like manual labor, and so are our feet.
This sweat then seeps into the insoles, and, if left unwashed, can cause quite a horrible odor. Thankfully, the insoles of these boots are removable and can be easily washed, dried, and replaced, adding an extra level of cleanliness that we don’t often see in work boots.
Finally, the single-density MAXWear Wedge outsole is made from polyurethane and is resistant to slipping. This makes them perfect for hazardous environments where one is at risk of slipping and falling, possibly causing injury.
