ThorogoodMen's Crosstrex Series - 6" BBP Waterproof, Side Zip Composite Safety Toe Hiker Boot, Black/Grey, 15

I doubted Thorogood's reputation however, after so many people recommended them by putting Thorogood's on their feet, I had to give them a try.Thorogood's Crosstrek's feel lovely, they're breathable, waterproof & it's just a delightful product to wear.I have ginormous feet that seem to act as speed bumps/doorstops. I didn't want a heavy steel toe so, I was really attracted to the composite toe in this boot.This is a really good composite toe construction in this boot that is lightweight & comfortable.I just can't feel the inconvenience of the size of my feet in these Thorogood Crosstrek's when they hit walls, tractor tires or, objects that would otherwise break a normal person's toe.These Thorogood Crosstrek's look like high top sneakers.I'm not a sneakers guy but, I am impressed that I don't have to walk around looking like I work at the circus in order to protect my feet.

I own several different work boots from expensive to moderately priced and these are hands down the best I’ve come across. Everything you want and need in a rugged outdoor work boot. Non slip bottom, comfortable, solid protective toe, and they look great ! I will definitely be recommending these to my co workers and after wearing them I would of paid more for these. Can’t beat the price can’t beat the quality and there Thorogood !

Very stiff and uncomfortable. Hurting my feet and lower back after just a few hours wearing them. Stiff insoles. After three days walking in them 8 to 5 on a job site, I realized I cannot take it any more. My feet were sweating, too. On the plus side, the zipper is great to take on/off. Returned.

These boots had all the features that I wanted, so I was really looking forward to having a good pair of boots that would last me 2-3 years. I am very disappointed. For context I work at a winery. I don't work construction. I don't use these to go on long hiking trips. I'm not very rough on my footwear. Within the first month the rubber on the toe cap started pealing off. It didn't effect the boot much except my new boots didn't look new for long. Three months later the crease where my toes bend the boot when I squat down started fraying and eventually wore all the way through effectively taking away the waterproofing (very important feature for me). Also the sole started coming apart in the same area. Inside the boot the padding wore out much faster then expected with holes forming creating uncomfortable hot-spots on the soles of my feet.I'm am so sick and tire of paying good money for boots that - at best - last just a year. Like I have spare time and money to shop for %*^%*&^ boots every year. Every company advertises how great the craftsmanship is but NONE has live up to the hype. Nobody makes a quality product any longer. It's obvious profit at the expense of the consumer is the only motivation these days - Sorry for the rant. My feet are freezing and shriveled from standing in water-logged socks for the last two hours. Now I have to leave work early to go find my old boots to use tomorrow.

Fit good out of the box. But they still need to worn about a week to fully break them in.
