In this Thorogood Moc Toe review, we take a close look at the Thorogood 814-4200 (tobacco leather, soft toe, six inch). Get the Thorogood Moc Toe on Amazon → amzn.to/3mAMmDP
The Thorogood Moc Toe is the brand's most popular boot, and you'll find it on nearly every construction site in America. This boot is so prominent that I felt I had to review it.
Made with a wedge sole, 2mm thick leather, and with several work-friendly options (including an 8" version, steel toe, and composite toe options).
See how the Thorogood Moc Toe compares to the Red Wing Classic Moc, Thursday Diplomat, and Danner Bull Run → • RED WING vs THURSDAY v...

I had a good laugh when you said hardwork as an electrician, I’m an electrician and only time I sweat is watch drywallers or hvac guys work.
Then you must be a low-volt guy 😂
I wish! sadly commercial
@@GunnerVu hey commercial work is pretty cool. i honestly wish I didn't have to work as hard as I do currently for how much im paid. I do custom houses and sometimes residential service calls.
You must be union
I’m a drywaller 😂
I run true to size on these. I don't suggest running half size down but everyone isn't the same. These are definitely a great boot
My Thorogoods were great right out of the box. I’ve been wearing them while renovating our mobile home and working on the homestead for the past 15 months. Excellent boots for outdoor work. The leather is soft and when you slather some Mink oil them occasionally it helps keep your feet dry in wet weather. Last week was standing in 2-3” of water after a huge thunderstorm and my feet were perfectly dry! I have the steel toes 6” wedge sole in tobacco
thanks for the review, first-class as always! Suffering through the break in period for my new Red Wings right now...maybe this one next since its a little easier on the old feet//all the best
I wore these exclusively in the sawmill I spent several years in. They were very comfortable after break in and durable. I especially appreciated the wedge sole when it can time to walk across beams for maintenance. Terrific boot all around. I’m particular to the 8” over the 6”.
Great Review
Waiting for this boots comparison 😆😉
I just bought a pair and the quality of it is incredible 😁
excellent review! for comfort you can't beat the thorogood. the redwings will never get as comfortable. one thing the poron insole is not removable. the removable insole is an extra and is excellent.
I have about 17 months with mine I work in a Cnc machine shop so they have plenty of life to them love them
Another good review
Thank you!
These actually do have a cork bed in them. Which is a huge bonus to them!
Indeed they do. And when wedge sole wears down it can easily be resoled.
Love your straight up video reviews William.... This old timer can tell you are really into boots and you have a passion for it, it's your game... I don't need anymore boots but it's always great to watch the reviews... When you hit 70 how many boots do you really need but I do have Ariats, Red Wings, Georgia's, Wolverines, Grant Stones, Sorels, Danners, Rockports and my favorites are my Red Wing upland boots 8'' Made in USA just fantastic and they are over 20 years old and my Grant Stones, that I think for the money you get one heck of a boot from GS...! I have the green Kudu's and love them.... Keep up the the great work buddy...Greg... IN
I was just looking at the sky blue kudu's they have up right now -- man, those are some nice boots. I'm not gonna get them this time around, though. Already have too many boot! So glad you're enjoying the reviews! Thank you for watching and commenting -- I really appreciate it.
@@BootSpy Yep, I know the feeling..! haha… if you bought every great looking boot you see you’d need a large room just to store them… Yhose kudus I are awesome but having watched your videos William I know you have a heck of a collection…! Nothing wrong with that, if it makes you feel good that’s all that matters…! You have to have something to spend your money on and something that brings you enjoyment…! Hang in buddy, I enjoy your enthusiasm and your videos … Greg… IN
I just need a comfy boot for indoor use. 😁 Great video! 👍
Thanks for watching!
These are my favorite work boots (mine are the comp toe model). I recommend them to all my coworkers.
the best, bang for buck, pair for the job, pair for when I take the wife out.
These are my go to boot if I have to be on my feet all day. I put in some cadence insoles for plantar faciaitis and have had zero issues with pain. I’m 300 lbs, so I usually destroy soles and inserts pretty quickly. These have held up very well with minimal trouble. A year and a half and the only thing i change is I put new leather laces on every three to four months so they stay flexible.
I had a little delamination on the instep between the midsole and sole, but a little bead of boot fix glue and they are good as new.
My only serious gripe at all with these boots is the noise. If I’m anywhere with a waxed or highly polished floor they squeak like crazy. I was told it’s the “no slip” qualities built into the sole that cause this. It literally sounds like a wet pair of sneakers at an amusement park. I’m wondering if anyone else has this problem because none of the reviews ever mention this. My redwing mocs do it too but not nearly to the same extent.
Thank you for your reviews. The thorogoods are definitely the best and most comfortable work boots for someone on their feet all day, especially if you are on hard concrete floors like factories and warehouses like me. I know a lot of guys wear them in construction and they love them too.
I have the red wing moc toe which I believe has a rubber crepe sole. Minimal squeaks on a polished floor.
I also have a pair of Clark’s desert shoe, and again a crepe sole, but those are squeaky on a polished floor. The compound of the Clarks is a lot looser. The Clarks desert shoe are totally completely useless for work even yard work, and to be honest I wouldn’t even work in my red wing moc toe or consider buying thorogood - I have a pair of cheap caterpillar boots for yard work/winter work. i have a pair of iron rangers that have a long lasting sole and aren’t squeaky at all. But they are noticeably loud when walking (colleagues have commented) I am 90kg. The moc toe sole is very comfortable however.
Was wondering if you could answer a question for me. May also be a good idea for a video. What boot like the one in this video or say a Red Wing etc is the best for support and possibly someone dealing with back pain? Thx.
Great video. For work I would also look into the Carolina Moc Toe Boots. I work in the trades and they have held pretty well.

Awsome boot I have the same pair.. only downside is they are slippery on wet surfaces. About fell a few times . Otherwise best boot I have ever owned..
The top eyelet holds your pre-tied laces in place when utilizing the speed hooks so they’re not tangling up when quickly lacing them up every day. I don’t use it, but that’s what it’s for to my knowledge.
Hey man if I am a 9 d in danner moc toe would I be a 9 in the thorogood moc thanks and enjoy the videos 👊👊
Was having a hard time choosing between thorogood, red wing, and Nicks.. but then I remembered that growing up I spent years working in the sticks with one pair of boots made by some no name company.
I think for the most part, given all of the options we have, that we tend to overthink boots.. yeah it's important to take certain things into account.. but still.. a good boot is a good boot even if it's not the best boot.
Do concrete and talk to me about it not mattering
@@jessemauer5455 I feel you, I've done some concrete work in the past.. mostly stick to longshoreman work nowadays.. and I posted this but still ended up going with a pair of red wings right after haha.
But still, there's some alright boots out there for not a ton of money.. and then there's also overpriced pieces of shit.
The eyelets on top are so if your laces loosen they won't fall off the speed hooks, my laces always loosen and slip off my redwings despite how hard I tie them down haha
Can't decide between these and the infinity fd series. I'm mostly on commercial rooftops all day so I need comfortable but long lasting boots. Sometimes I'm in rocky rooftops so idk if thes outsole on this would hold up better to the infinity fd series
Could you do a review of the duke by Thursday boots.
There’s some on offer where I am but they have a steel toe, would u say that’s a big no no for casual wear?
I own the Danner Moc toe boot. I also own the Thursday. The Danner is by far the best work boot I have ever worn. I am in the Transportation business and on my feet for 12 hours a day. The fit and comfort level are top notch. I also a pair of Red Wings Supersole insulated work boots. Their my winter boots here in Minnesota, but they don't have the best traction and cost a $100 bucks more. The Thursdays are my weekend knock around boots.. I think when the Danner's need a new sole, I just get redone. I am curious about the Thorogood's 1957 Flyway boots, That I might check out...Thanks for another great video..
Get the thorogoods theyre way ahead of the danner moc toes in quality
@@shanesolar3924 this is true. But my thorogoods boots have this weird smell. On the outside
I love your reviews. Thanks man . I am watching from Egypt 🇪🇬.
Thank you so much for watching!
Best polish for these? I own a pair
Which is more comfortable- these or the diplomat?
What about the cotton liner,will that wear out prematurely.
I have 3 pairs of Thorogood's and I have Thursdays I love Thorogood boots they can last a long time if you treat them well with boot care !! great review on them but ware them for more then a couple of days do a review in 1 and then 2 years see how they ware in time !!
what do you like better thursdays or thorogood?
I own several red wing moc toe boots, I bought a pair of Thorogood Moc Toe boots and found them to be chunky.
To narrow at my big toe ball joint. I've tried several pairs. I ended up with the Carolina.
do they fit true to size? im a usual size 10 but a 9 in Redwings.
I went to a local Boot Barn store near me and they have a wide selection of boots. Of all the wedge sole boots I saw in the store, the Thorogood is the best looking for me. I wear size 10 sneakers and 9.5D boots. But, the sizing of this boot is quite different. I first try a size 9.5D, but it's squeezing my pinky toe due to the narrow profile of the boots. Then, I try 10D which turns out to be quite big because I'm experiencing heel lift when walking. Then, I try 9.5EE which is wider but shorter compare to 9.5D. So, I ended up buying the 9.5D and hoping that the leather will stretch after some breaking period. It's not that tight... just uncomfortable to the pinky toe.
I just left boot barn and had the same. Though I had ordered 12D and i had a bit of heel lift which bother some. I tried wide and was a bad idea. I should have tried 11.5D but not in stock. I think i just needed to tie laces harder
get a EE width.
Hola amigos,
Ustedes qué opinan entre estas Thorogood y las Keen Cincinati?
En comodidad, durables y calidad?
Gracias!
What is your Brannok measurement?
Where can I find that flannel you are wearing?
Two or the years? I've never had a work boot last over a year that didn't need replacing concrete dust rebar dry wall dust drywall mud kneeling scuffing the toes you name it walking miles a day on commercial jobs with a extra 30 libs of tool pouches which puts me somewhere around 260 and I washed and conditioned once a week. I have these boots and they are good and comfortable but I don't see them lasting over a year without needing to be replaced. Will I buy another pair? absolutely they are the most comfortable work boots I've ever owned
I bought a pair of these a couple weeks ago because they came so highly recommended. I honestly so far haven't been that happy with them and I'm surprised by it after what everyone else says. I'm wondering if I just need a little more break in time to see what they're going to be. So far I like my redwing Moc's far better
I would give them a few more weeks. It took mine about a month. After that they were very comfortable. Also, I removed the factory insoles when I got them and put Superfeet inserts in.
They took two weeks for me. Straight painful days. Then they felt good
Mine feel really good now but they weren’t comfortable out of the box like so many claim. For me it took probably a month of wearing them and then letting my feet recover for a few days
@@carson2646 I understand that. I stopped wearing them a few days. My cousin wore them and fell comfortable right away. Idk
The insole you removed isn't Poron. The Poron is integrated in the inner-sole. Watch Rose Anvil cut these in half and you'll see what I'm talking about. Either way, I love mine. They way they're holding up I don't feel like I've made a sacrifice vs. Red Wing. Great value for the money.
Red Wing is junk.
Hi. Where is the shirt you're wearing from? Looks good
It's the outerknown blanket shirt. Thanks for watching!
Been wearing mine since 2016 😅
My foot is 11 inches and i wear a size 11 in vans and i wear 10ee iron ranger. I would like to add that i am 10.5ee in Thorogood heritage midnight 6inch
I’d like to get a pair of Thorogoods, but I’ve tried a few sizes and they’re just too narrow in the toe and a little big in the heel, enough so it won’t hold my heel when walking. Anyone know how much they stretch, if at all, in the toe box?
Water expands when frozen. Also, alcohol WILL DEFINITELY accelerate the stretching process. Could also get a boot expander tool.
that's a mad flannel! what is it?
Can it be resoled?
can the soles on these be resoled
If your using a boot everyday for work why would you use it for four years ? I say after a year or two you owe it to yourself to get another pair lol After all the wedge boots ive owned these are far the best ! If your watching this vid because your on the fence … get these ! It’s like a fresh baseball glove for your feet ! Really a gentleman’s work boot. A lil heavy towards the front but that is the only negative think I can come up with (and that fish eye whole on the top , I would have to agree with my man and say it’s not needed but ya. God bless 💪
went to local Redwing store... Get this, I was told if you were Heritage Moctoe, or Iron Ranger boots for work...IT VOIDS THE WARANTY. WAIT....WHAT???!!!! Wanted me to buy Traction Tread Moctoes instead. thinking of Thorogood, but if I only get 1 year, forget it
I finally bought the Thorogood 8 inch mock toe in tobacco. I’m comparing for weeks and I just found it harder to shop for redwing boots because they always have limited stock at the stores around my area. And I have limited availability online. There’s a much better selection of sizes and styles for Thorogood available online. They’re not as good as Redwing I hear, but are still pretty good.
Definitely better than redwing, I’ve owned several of both
My second gear after rw 1907
You said it was "much less slim and contoured" than the Red Wing moc but I don't see it with the side by side. I do own the Thorogood and the reason I went with them was that I felt the toe box was actually a bit slimmer than the 875s. When I was comparing the two, I felt that the 875 toe box curled up a bit, whereas the toe box on the Thorogood 814-4200 slopped down slightly towards the front of the sole. If by chunky you mean the welt/edge of the Maxwear soles on the Thorogoods protrudes more than the Red Wing 875s I'd have to agree with you there.
the leather comes from Wisconsin
They are actually a Goodyear welt not Storm welt. There's a fake stitch.
3 or 4 yrs!? I had a pair of boots last a year once and i was blown away. They were die-hards. Im roofer and beat the brakes off boots. Even after adding kevlar coating to the tips i wear through that and the leather down to where i can see my socks. And any boot with that vibram foam type only bottom is garbage. Just my 2 cents
I'm a carpenter and boots can last me 3 years for sure.
Roofing is probably about the most brutal trade on boots.
If you go through boots that fast I'd recommend Caterpillar boots. They usually require almost no break in time from my experience.
Are they better than wolverine moc toe boots?
Yess I think
Is that an Outerknown blanket shirt you're wearing here?
I’m not sure at which part, but it probably is. I have one and I’ve been thinking about getting another for 3 years… they’re amazing
The leather probably comes from Mexico. I purchased my first pair last week and they seem to be good.
I’ll wear the boots. Got a pair of Thorogoods. But I won’t wear my britches rolled up like that to the mailbox let alone anywhere else.
take a red wing or a w1000m also some good chippewa out there without texton paper midsole
1:55 the reason for the top eyelet is because eyelets don’t untangle as easily as speed hooks but they take longer to adjust so you use your speed hooks for a quick, easy way to lace up your boots and then you use the eyelet to make sure the laces don’t come undone.
It's for a logger's knot.
th-cam.com/video/GlCIcGA3r7A/w-d-xo.html
@@JaeSpec1 so what you’re saying is...the eyelet helps make the boot strings tighter and more secure? Hmm it’s seems like somebody said something similar...I wonder who?
@@blakedavis2447 in layman's terms, sure
How the width of the thourogood. They run little wider. Then normal ?
They have D and EE. You can get them wide.
They actually run narrower than they should.
Must be me but these are the most uncomfortable boot ive ever worn
Not a real storm welt watch rose anvil review when he cuts them in half
no steel toe , ant no good for work. looks great though
Plumbers and electricians 😂 what about us carpenters 😂😂
My thorogood boots only last 6 months tops.
But, I bet they were comfortable. Would you sacrifice 6 months of comfort over 2 years of pain from some other boots???
The welt is plastic.
Thorogood moc toe boots are not very comfortable. There toe box needs to be redesigned. They are too narrow. I bought a cheap pair of Brazos
moc toe boots that fit much better in the toe box.
Not a leather welt. Plastic.
Just bought a pair of thorogood boots, so far unimpressed. The leather is surprisingly thin, the toe cap rubs, and their “wide ee” is more like a d. very sloppy stitching inside as well. These are NOT worth $250.
I’ve had mine for quite awhile. They have a 1 year warranty so you should send them in,,see if they can change some stitching for you
The leather comes grim cows.
Let’s all keep in mind that the redwing is a boot made for hunters and people out side all day not for construction workers on a job site.
my buddy who’s a concert pump operator wears Redwing boots and beats them up daily. Not sure what model though?
@@apa7611 I’ve worked in redwings before but never the moc toes and while I’m not saying you can’t work in them it’s not what it’s designed for so any short comings are not the boots fault but how it’s being used.
I wouldn’t recommend these boots at all. Everyone is different, but my god they are the most uncomfortable workboots ive ever owned. After 2 days, they were in trash. I take my brunts over them any day of week
Haha you are quite possibly the ONLY person on 🌎 to say Thorogoods are not comfortable.🤣😅😂
@@fckjb284 everyone different, but they killed my feet
@@fckjb284 I’m also not a fan, waayyy overpriced. Toe caps rub, too narrow, and low grade leather.
Yeah damm sparky’s working hard lol….. Try iron work you’d cry daily
“Really good for working but not in a working condition” 🤔
Thorogood has poor quality control and will not stand behind their boots. I got a pair with a deformed tongue and the USA flag label ripped. They refused to do anything. Would not answer emails an even blocked us on Facebook.
I REALLY find that hard to believe. Especially since you're complaining about it on yt. Should have just returned the damn boots and/or got you credit card/paypal ir whoever involved if they actually totally ignored you. Smells like BS to me.
@@user-sq4dr3iz9o it’s sound like you don’t understand how their “warranty” works these days. You have to go through thorogood, and they are lacking. I’m trying to send a pair back now, to no avail.
I've got to agree with the OP.
I've gone through ordering 5 pairs this last 2 months. 3 from my local store and 2 from midwest.
First was my issue finding the right size, but 3 of the 5 pairs had QC issues.
This last pair of boots had the worst QC problems I've ever seen in my life.
So the issues are, the tongue was crooked on one so much that by the time it got to the top my shin was exposed no madder how I positioned the tongue.
Then 1 boot had a gap between the sole and the leather right on the tip toe of the boot (i could move it amd open it slightly even).
Then..😅 there boots in d witdth are very narrow and the toe box is low.
That gets me the worst problems of all. So i tryed EE sizes and its like they just took the ball your foot part and extended it out (looks like a odd big lump sticking out the side just in that little area). Also with EE sizes the 11.5ee fit and measured the same as a 12d, then there 11ee fit like a 11.d. when i went EE it also made the boot longer.. so it was extra in every witch way even the heal a little.
The final huge QC issue i had was the pair of boots im shipping back for return currently.
The left boot is bigger then the right boot physically and visually by a qtr inch. I even measured them with a digital caliper😅.
There both labeled 11EE but the left fits like a 12.
The sole is almost a qtr inch wider from the mid foot up and its an 1/8 inch or more longer, even the leather part of the boot is wider and the mock toe stitched part of this left boot is about a qtr inch back farther then the other one (a good bit more toe cap infront of the mock toe stitch).
Its crazy honestly 😂 i wanted these boots so bad i looked past alot trying to get a pair.
I think im done, im going to try carolinas equivalent because i hear there a little wider and have a stitched down toe to sole.
Review with no safty toe!!! I just herd tires schreech when i hit the x button to stop this video!!
You need to cut it in half to know if it is a good boot or not, the only way is to cut it in half …Here ⬇️
th-cam.com/video/hsk1kUc-W2w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Rk4X5gjdRyvYOrbp
And yes , is a BAD BOOT
too bad redwing is not made in the usa no more😂
their heritage line still is
I don't like redwing
Behave…mk
This dude doesn’t work for a living so who cares what he thinks?
I just picked up my first pair this weekend. I am between a 9-9.5 so I got the 9.5
One thing I noticed is one boot is not perfect. It’s a little crooked 🫤
Didn’t notice till I was out running errands/ first wear
