Thorogood GEN-Flex2 6” Composite Safety Toe Work Boots For Men - Breathable Heavy-Duty Toe Cap Boots With Goodyear Storm Welt, Slip-Resistant Outsole and Comfort Insole

I have been in the oilfields for nearly thirty years, I have worn anything from Wal-Mart cheapies through high end Red Wings, these boots rival anything I have had on my feet. I wore them for 13 hours the first day, my feet weren't tired and when I had the chance to sit they felt as though I didn't have boots on. As for me they run true to size. Also I'm a big boy (340 lbs.) I didn't gain any blisters from the first day and my feet are not sore at all. I would suggest these boots to anyone in a rough environment; they also look good if you wanted them for everyday wear. I will follow-up in a few months as to their durability in the patch. I've been wearing these for a couple of weeks now and I must admit they are the most comfortable boots I have ever had at this point, there was no break in period, they have been comfortable sice day one! I have treated them with "Leather Honey" that I also purchased here on Amazon. It too is a great product... More than a month later, working in the oilfields, long rough days and my feet stay protected and continually comfortable. These are hands down the best boots I have ever owned. I would recommend them to anyone for any purpose. UPDATE: September 28, 2012 I will buy another pair of these when the time comes. There have been days I have been in my boots well over 24 hrs and my feet may be tired, but they are not sore, nor are they sore the next day. I would prefer to wear these over any tennis shoe... Better than My Red Wings, Lacrosse, and Wolverines. Update: May 29, 2013 I will buy another pair of these, the pair I have now are just over a year old, they have started to fail in a few spots, one of the black inserts near the toe has broke free on one seam, one lug on a heel nearest the arch has torn (material failure), the small insole identifying piece just came off today. On the positive side the boots overall have stood up well in the oilfield. The leather has held up well the laces lasted all year. They have remained comfortable all year long... by far my first choice of which shoe to wear be it work, play or casual. Overall I would give these boots a five star rating.

These are the best boots i ever owned so far. They required no breaking in at all! Many times in construction you have to bend down onto your tip toes most boots ive had (even wide fit) take 2 to 3 weeks before you can do that naturally even then there is a constricting feeling at the joint of your toes not with these. the safety toe (composite) is high & round enough i rarely ever feel it (unless i didn't tie my laces up). the leather is legit, the rubber and leather are stitched together perfectly they have this reflective material (that will be the first thing to wear off) around the heel and toe joint which is a nice touch (high viz). the sole is really sturdy no roll very sturdy flat feeling the insole is high quality (not the best but kinda gellin). The only cons i could find where #1 the laces have this plastic cap that will come off in a week good luck trying to get it through the eyelet once it falls off #2 the tongue was a little bit of a let down like a felt micro fiber feel to it (keep in mind I WELDER! I doubt a heavy spark wont burn through it) #3 The water proofing is great but it doesn't run high enough on the tongue so water will spill into the boot pass that point wish it ran to just a inch under the top of boot #4 this is kinda on me (i have a habit of walking like im kicking a soccer ball toe down) the toe seems to catch every crack making me stumble ( i know i know high step it) having said that THOROGOOD IS MY NEW BOOT BRAND, I will buy another pair of these and try Thorogood Men's Z - Trac Waterproof Safety Toe Lace-Up Boot next. hope this helps i purchased 11.5 extra wide foot i also have very flat feet.

I purchased these new boots for my son to wear during winter. He has only been wearing these books for 3 months. Yesterday, he took off his boots and found that on the back of the boot the rubber had seperated from the leather and now has a hole in the back of the boot. I contacted Thorogood as they have a 1 year warranty on the boots and was told I had to contact the Amazon seller to get this problem resolved. This had happened to us on another pair of Thorogood boots that he wore and they took care of it. I paid $158.00 for these boots and I will never purchase another pair of their Thorogood boots. I did contact the seller and they said they will take care of it.

I had a water pump go out in my truck on my way home after working a 14 hour shift the second day I had these boots. I had to walk almost 2 miles to my house and I never got a blister. My feet have never been sore, even when standing for very long periods of time in them. I ave worn these for a 20 hour shift in -10 weather in ND with only a pair of wool socks and my feet felt fine. This is only the second pair of boots that I've owned that didn't take 2 or 3 weeks to break in. These boots have held up well in a welding/fabrication shop and in the oilfield in ND. The laces burn very easily from welding slag so I replaced them with paracord laces and have had no issues since. I do wish they offered a little more heel protection. You can't use the heel of the boot to kick things around without getting hurt. A plastic heel cup like most other work boots would really improve these boots. The rubber toe cover will come apart at the stitching, but the thread is still holding it down. This might be the first pair of boots I've had in a LONG time that the tops outlast the soles. If you've never owned any Thorogood bots, give them a try.

After about a week or so, when these boots wore in, they’ve become really comfortable. Very light, and a great price.

These boots are terrible for your ankles been working in them on the railway for over a week and they still are painful can’t even wear my normal trainers wouldn not buy again very disappointed

Among the best, most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn.

I've only be wearing these for a few days and they are already falling apart at the seams I buy a lot of boots. I usually get a year at least. I've never seen failure within the first week. Otherwise comfortable. Arrived early.

I love everything about these boots. The only issue that I have is that there is a deep knife slice on the rubber toe cap, and the pair that I received was the last pair in stock. There was nothing about the slice in the toe cap in the product description before I placed my order. I'm pretty upset cause I need new work boots badly and I'm worried that the slice will compromise the integrity of the boot.
