Thorogood
Marshfield, Wisconsin
About Thorogood
Thorogood boots are a classic — they’ve been around for over 130 years. The company is deeply rooted in American history, as they equipped the U.S. Army during both world wars, and they could do it again today, as some styles are compliant with the Berry Amendment. We’re featuring the brand’s most iconic style this year, the American Heritage Tobacco Moc Toe, which was born in 1960, became the official Boy Scouts of America boot, and is still one of the company’s most popular styles today. Not only would this be a great gift for the hard worker on your list, but really for anyone wanting a stylish boot that is going to stand the test of time. While some of Thorogood’s styles are imported (check that label!), this style is Made in the USA (with USA and globally sourced components), and they’re union-made, by UFCW Locals 688 and 717.
