Thorogood 1957 Series 8-inch Crazy Horse Waterproof Moc Toe Black 90-Degree Sole U.S. Made Men's Work Boot - 814-3890

This Thorogood 1957 Series 8-inch boot is a durable, American-made 8-inch work boot with a handsome vintage moc toe design and 90-degree heel ready to get the job done. As an added bonus, the boots feature a waterproof breathable membrane to keep you working in comfort when rainy weather looms on the horizon. These work boots are made of tough brown full-grain leather and have a Goodyear storm welt construction. A Goodyear welt means that the outsole is stitched to the upper rather than glued, creating a stronger bond and allowing the sole to be replaced numerous times, extending the total life of the boot. On top of that, due to being left in its natural state, the full-grain leather will form a protective patina rather than wear out over time like treated leather, making the boots a sound long-term investment built to last the long haul. These work boots are built on Thorogood's exclusive MAXWear 90 outsole, which features the same grip and traction on outdoor terrain as typical heeled work boots, but with a 20-30% longer lifespan due to being composed of polyurethane rather than rubber, which also has shock-absorbing capabilities. When climbing ladders or scaffolding or working outside on natural terrain, a 90-degree heel makes it easier to dig your boots into the ground for increased traction or "lock" them in place for better stability.
