Questions & Answers
In comparison to cold, I did not notice that much of a difference. I've been wearing Rocky Portlands for the past 12 years and bought these recently. I've found a new favorite in these boots. This is the patrol equipment used in Michigan.
An incorrect description of the product has been provided. Boots marked with "Made in China" are made in China.
According to the statistics, I do not believe so. It doesn't matter which way I look at it, these are the best boots I've ever owned. The construction industry has been my career for 20 years, the USMC for 8 years, and now the fire service for 10 years.
I don't think so, since they won't last long enough otherwise to be resoled.
Selected User Reviews For Thorogood Men's Gen-Flex2 Series 8" Waterproof Tactical Side Zip Boot
The period has begun. It was miserable from the moment I put these boots on, not just on my feet, but on my calves. With the shaft of the boot featuring a side zipper, the boot can be easily removed without having to untie the laces. In the case of both legs, the folds around the zipper caused constant pressure points to dig into the leg. My calves are now comfortable with the folds conforming to the shape of my calf after several weeks of wearing them every day. The boots are now more comfortable as a result of this change. Despite the uncomfortability of the insoles, I broke these boots in anyway because it was the only factor that kept me with them long enough to do so. Despite being of average size, I was not weight or size challenged by this test. It has been a rough first month for me so I cannot give a five star rating.
Over the past three years, I have worn these boots every 12 hours of my shifts in a correctional facility for two months. I have never found a pair of boots better suited to the job I do. have tried Magnums, Smith & Wesson, and even Danner boots but nothing comes close. The surface holds up well to a shine. The last time I had to replace the insoles was due to breaking down, and I'll most likely be getting my next pair soon since the sole of the boots is wearing down from being on the metal tiers and concrete floors for so many hours. This is one great pair of boots. I don't understand why anyone would give them anything less than five stars. These were recommended to me by a coworker I now agree with the coworker who said they are the most comfortable boots he has ever worn. In the context of these boots, I don't normally write reviews on Amazon, but someone had to tell the truth. On a side note, I am not qualified to comment on their resilience outside against the elements because I work primarily in.
The pros are I have never worn a pair of boots like these before, and they are the most comfortable and waterproof I have ever had! In a collateral duty, I work as a rescue operator on a helicopter, and this involves a lot of time spent standing on the skid while operating the rope hoist - these boots provided a level of comfort I had never experienced before During a hike, be sure to keep your footing and traction. The cons are There were quite a few comments that said they were squeaky, and are they! In these boots, it is not possible for me to slink around quietly during the night shift when I work road patrol. As well, I had a problem with the sole edge of both boots separating from the sole. I am not sure why this happened, but it did, and it made me rather sad. This pair of boots would make a good lightweight to mid-weight boot It's not that they haven't been used aggressively, but they can't stand up to what I do to them on a daily These boots are not something I would be anxious to order again, but if you are not going to use them so extreme, they may be an option.
The 10 month update is as follows Buying is a mistake! The product didn't last a year. I wouldn't buy it again. The boots are great. Still getting used to them, but they are comfortable so far. Weather hasn't been good enough to test waterproofing yet It is in the testing phase of the boot, but we will update it within a month. Now that I have become less than 10 months old, I just cannot stand by the Thorogood brand of station boots any longer. Last year, I received the work 24/48 around the end of March. Consequently, the use of these devices has been less than four Each boot has a split in the sole that is located at the same side seam in the heel. There was a separation between one of the boot soles and the bottom, allowing for water to seep through. These boots have been worn a lot since they were bought. See image to see how worn out they are. Really disappointed with this brand. Thorogood really needs to step up their game.
I've been using these for years, they get better and better. No matter what, they seem to have trouble breathing for about a day or two after the first few days. I'm not sure why it is that they don't breathe well at the beginning. I have been expecting rain in Oregon this year, but I'm not sure if I can handle it. We find this to be convenient and comfortable. This pair of shoes has a solid construction and good traction in addition to being comfortable to wear. The majority of my time is spent with my family My feet are on my feet for ten hours a day, and no boot is going to be ideal, but this one feels just as good as boots priced three times We are here a few months later, and so far they have held up well and feel more comfortable with each passing.
I have used these boots for 8 months and have used them 5- times. The school is open every day except Sunday. They had high expectations, but they were not able to hold up to the remainder of time. This was the good part. This is a wonderful feature of water proofing. It is obvious that leather under water for an extended period of time will wich but that is It's pretty much all there is to My only complaint is that I used these boots in my job as a It was dug up at the bottom, resulting in holes in the arch. A part of the tread has peeled off from the sides and now the rubber of the tread holds water beneath the rubber and the Velcro that secures the zipper into place no longer holds. To tie them, I had to put 3 sets of The zipper on my boots is no longer working, which has me giving up on using them. A good example is a car that gets stuck or won't move. It would have been nice if these had lasted longer for the money.
Left size toe was flatter, narrower and squeezing. Those on the left side of the toe were flat, narrow, and squeezed together touching my toes, as compared to those on the right side, which was round and bull-shaped These two pairs of socks do not match each other. It's hard for me to convey exactly what it is on this page. The pictures will show you.
I have broken in these boots and they fit perfectly once they have been worn for a few days. You will have some minor chafing but soon they will In comparison to my last pair of Thorogoods, I bought these one year ago and they lasted until the soles wore out, for the price this was really good. The boots are exposed to diesel fuel, gear oil and condensing tower water as well as seasonal salt These shoes will keep your feet feeling good even after a beating.
