had Thorogoods and HATED them. Most painful and uncomfortable boot I've ever owned but I also have flat feet and never found an insole to be worth a damn.
Same here. Worn Redwing, Justin, Wolverine, Danner, Lehigh, among others with a preference for Redwing, Danner, and Justin. After all the rave reviews about Thorogood, I got a pair of Moc Toe and they were easily the most uncomfortable boot I’ve ever tried. Wore them on and off for months trying to get them broken in. The leather held up but the tread didn’t last very long.
Point being, picking a reputable brand is great but only your feet can tell you if it’s a good fit.
