Thorogood Work Boots: Built for the Job, Trusted on the Jobsite
When it comes to work boots, not all are built the same. Some are designed to look tough. Others are built to actually handle tough work. Thorogood Work Boots fall squarely in the second category.
At Humdinger Boots, Thorogood is one of our most trusted brands for customers who put in long hours on concrete, steel, dirt, and demanding job sites. These boots are built for real trades, real workdays, and real conditions—where comfort, durability, and performance actually matter.
A Work Boot Legacy That Began in 1892
Thorogood has been crafting footwear for American workers since 1892, giving the brand more than a century of hard-earned credibility.
Thorogood is a brand of the Weinbrenner Shoe Company, founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during a time when American manufacturing was defined by skilled hands and honest materials. From the very beginning, the focus was clear: build dependable boots for people who earn their living on their feet.
As industries evolved, Thorogood evolved with them—while staying true to its roots. The brand became especially known for its commitment to union-made, American-built work boots, a tradition that continues today in many of its most popular styles. This isn’t a revival or a trend for Thorogood—it’s a legacy carried forward for generations.
More than 130 years later, Thorogood remains guided by the same principles it was founded on: quality materials, skilled workmanship, and boots built for people who depend on them every single day.
