Thorogood has been producing work boots since 1892 and is closely associated with American manufacturing and skilled craftsmanship. Originally rooted in the Midwest, the brand built its reputation by supplying durable footwear to tradespeople who required dependable boots for demanding jobs. Over more than a century, Thorogood has remained focused on building work boots that balance rugged construction with practical comfort. Today, it is employee-owned and most recently expanded into a second factory in Wisconsin.
