@@VinceSpanishNope! Not even a little!

Get me your address...

@VinceSpanish I have a new pair coming. Should b here in a week. Once they're in I'll get with you on getting these...👍

@skycoh3581 the boots in this video are 814-414. I have another video on the same boot with max wear wedge 814-3800. Both are 1957 series and both of these aren't insulated, but do have a waterproof liner that's been awesome! I've tried a bunch of boots, but Thorogood is my go to! 👍th-cam.com/video/oFwI2P-rWSY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cdL09agyjIm9Q_Gr

It's on the to do list man. My work will hopefully slow down with some cooler weather and allow some time for more videos.

Just got the 1957 with steel toe

Yeah I still have them and they new some serious work to get them back into wearable condition. They're a awesome boot for sure! I just neglected them for far too long! Totally my fault for sure. Been wearing some Thorogood's since the JK's and they've been doing well for me. Thanks for the tips and comment. I appreciate it!

For me they took a bit to get use to with the steeper heel/toe angle. Not anything too uncomfortable, just a few weeks of daily use and everything was much better. I do remember wishing I had ordered up a half size to allow a larger more comfortable insole. Outside of that they were an awesome boot. Get into a regular cleaning process with them and you be good to go. I ignored mine far too long and they got hard as a rock on the lowers. Hope this helped man! 👍

Yeah this happened to me when I first got mine but they are great now

Both are fine. The wedge sole has a less aggressive tread pattern where as the Flyway has more of a traditional lug sole. Both have basically the same comfort level. Sole wear is about the same due to the sole compound being almost the same. I prefer the wedge sole just so I'm not tracking any more dirt/mud into the work trailer than necessary.

Appreciate man!👍

I agree. I see the smallest size they offer is 8. Hopefully they'll expand the size range in the future.👍

I use to wear Red Wing boots years ago. Like 10+ years ago. Nothing with a wedge sole, so unfortunately I can't give you any feedback with that. Thorogoods have been solid for me so it'll be tough to try another brand...even though I'm currently testing some boots by Brunt.😓

@@trod7374Brunt’s?? Oh please man, say it ain’t so. Those were the absolute worst boots I’ve ever owned. Looking forward to seeing a video from you on those.

@doublebase6509 hopefully in a week or 2 I'll have it ready to post.👍

I'm currently testing some boots by Brunt. Just another month...maybe 2 before I do a review.

@@trod7374 Hey T Rod. Hope all is well, and thank you for the reply. Appreciated. Always great seeing your boots. Looking forward to your next boot video.

I've been using Iron laces for years and that's all I use. I'm not a welder, so they probably wouldn't work in that environment, but everything else I think they'd handle just fine. Ironlace...one word on Amazon. Pick your length and you'll be set! 👍

@@trod7374 Thanks, You're the man!

Sizing is spot on for me. I'm a 9.5 in Redwing and a 9.5 in these as well as most other boots. My Nike running shoes I'm a 10. I went with the medium width. I'm on the skinner side of things 5'11" @ 175, so for me they have the right amount of width without getting loose through out the day. They do offer a wide version as well.

Thx for the positive feedback! I'm currently wearing another boot brand for a review along with the new Thorogood's! A resole video is something that's been requested so I'm getting that going as soon as I can. 👍

Definitely! I've tried some other boots that were more for "going out" than on the job site and they were shit to be honest! These boots can do both. Just keep them clean, not too dirty and you'll be good to go! Great looking, quality construction and all day comfort...can't ask for more.👍

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

The craftmanship on the JK's was the best I've seen thus far. You get what you pay for for sure. Thorogood not quite as good but definitely not as expensive either. Comfort wise the JK take some getting use too because of the tall heal, but after a few weeks that's not an issue. Thorogood is great right from the start. I work in wet conditions daily so the waterproof liner Thorogood uses is really a huge benefit for me. I know the JK's can be oiled and conditioned to basically get the same result...I'm just not willing to do what it takes to keep them in that condition. After about 10 mths of neglect the JK's were as hard a rock and in need of some serious tlc to get them back in working order. The Thorogood's in the same time frame and same neglect just needed a resole. Speaking of soles... The JK soles are firmer than the Thorogood. Softer sole wears faster, but adds a little to the comfort. For me the Thorogood does everything I need a great work boot. Price is fine and matches the quality. Long lasting enough and comfortable to wear all day in the conditions I put them through. I do see that JK is now offering a wedge sole boot called "Forefront" that I might try out. Just not for my daily work. Hope this helps. Any other questions just let me know.

Wow ty trod !!!

I want the 814-4141 but with black wedge soles hard to find

I knew the sole was soft, but definitely comfortable when you're on your feet all day working. They actually held up well with my lawn and landscaping work I do daily. 10 to 15 lawns a day solo will put boots to the test. Always looking to test what manufacturers are putting out. I'm currently wearing Thorogood's and there sole is wearing similar. 👍

Appreciate it! Thx for the comment!

I still have the JK's. Unfortunately I didn't take care of them like I should have. They need a restoration bad so they can be brought back to life! Totally my fault...maybe a video of what not to do with your JK boots. 👍

Thanks for the update. I have a pair and I’m doing the same as you just letting them ride and not taking the best care of them

Good to know! Thanks for the info and comment man! Have a happy new year to you as well!

*Gortex lol talk to txt typo. *Resoled another typo. You’re welcome, thank you and you as well 🙏

Definitely a great boot all around! A favorite of mine for sure! Thx for comment!

I still have them, but I neglected them far too long. They need a good reconditioning before I'd be able to get them back into service. Need to make a video of "what not to do" to your boots next.

Haha I know how to neglect boots too no worries just wondering

Soon as I get a chance I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the info man!👍

I thought with the lack of aggressive tread they were going to be slightly slippery, but I haven't felt them slide at all really.

It's in my top 3 all time favorite pistols I've owned! Rides with me daily in my truck! Enjoy your P07 and thx for the comment!👍

@@trod7374 Do you think you’ll be getting the Cajun Gun Works trigger? I know a ton of TH-camrs that swear by them, but there’s this one guy I watched that said he just left his stock, and after 10,000 rounds the stock trigger actually got even smoother and lighter. I’m thinking I’ll keep mine stock for now and just see how it ages, but yeah the CJW trigger upgrade does seem interesting

I don't have any plans on upgrading to a CGW trigger. The stock trigger was good enough for my needs. I can attest to the fact that the stock trigger does smooth out. It will take a few thousand rounds to accomplish this and the difference may not be enough for some. I'm sure someone has compared the stock trigger to the CGW. I agree...run it stock and upgrade if you feel the need down the road. I will say I have a CZ Shadow 2 and when I want better trigger feel and extremely tight groups I reach for that.

@@trod7374 Awesome! Thanks for the reply. That makes me feel a lot more confident knowing that the stock trigger stays great and gets better! I haven’t had any issues myself landing hits with double action. Personally, I prefer a stiff double action anyhow. It makes me feel safer knowing that it has that little bit more safety. And I agree in any SD situation with the adrenaline pumping you aren’t going to to be thinking about the difference between a 12 pound pull and a 10 pound pull… I would much rather have a bit more stiff of a trigger that I KNOW is going to work, than a sweet aftermarket one that MIGHT have an issue… Also, as far as having the sweet light trigger I have a Canik and I have to say I love it. The trigger is so smooth and the gun runs everything I put through it. Super reliable and only $350 for a full size. If I need to be making any kind of crazy precise shots I always have that lol

I don't think they get too hot. They are a dark color so they get warm in the summer, but nothing crazy. I have a newer video on these 1957 boots that I did a few weeks ago!

The boots were awesome! I unfortunately neglected them far too long. I do lawn/landscaping work, so the boots were wet and filthy daily! Over time the lack of care did them in. I still have them and may do a reconditioning video soon. See if they can be brought back to life. They're an awesome boot...just make sure you take care of them. Thanks for the comment and enjoy those super duty boots man!
