The history and classic shoes of Thorogood, a traditional American handmade boot brand.

At that time, Peter's son Albert was an apprentice under his father for several years, and Albert opened a shop selling boots and shoes at 1892. However, his ambition does not stop there. 1900 bought a local shoe factory and produced its own production line. At first, the output was very small, only 60 pairs were produced every day, but by 19 15, it increased to an astonishing 8,000 pairs per day.

19 18, Weinbrenner first introduced Thorogood work boots. The idea behind the brand is simple and radical. They think that every job has specific needs and environment, so every job needs special shoes to match. Therefore, Thorowgood designed special shoes for miners, oil workers, railway workers and even the US military during the First World War ... Since then, Weinbrenner has become an instant hit, constantly expanding and innovating, and made great progress, such as 1943 the first safety toe work boot.

There are classic Thorogood work boots on the market:

This lace-up wedge shoe was introduced on 1950, and has hardly changed since then. Its grip on the ground is very strong. In order to keep the whole foot stable, the shoelaces extend all the way to the front of the boots. The rest of the design also moves forward, so the upper extends to the whole shoe. However, such a large piece of leather is exposed to the outside, which is more likely to be damaged. Therefore, Thorogood uses a double-layer leather, which is stitched with three stitches and reinforced with rivets. The price is about 180 US dollars.

Thorogood's most representative style is Hike' n Camp, 1964 outdoor hiking shoes, which are 6-inch wedge shoes. It is more suitable for hiking and camping. But it was quickly adopted by construction workers and can still be found on construction sites all over the world. Today, they simply call it 6 "Moctoe", which costs $65,438 +075.

1892 series can also be regarded as Thorogood high-end series products. Dodgeville boots are made in Marshfield, Wisconsin, using traditional manual techniques. This boot has exquisite toe design, high-quality Horween Chromexcel leather, Goodyear welt structure and Vibram outsole to ensure long-term use, and the price is $263.
