Do you have any experience with them or just basing them off looks?

Thorogoods are nice. I mean you could just look for others boots? It's up to you to dress yourself, not the internet.

I'm honestly pretty new to dressing well and in some dire need of advice.

Alright, just as a starting point think about your day to day attire and imagine these boots in that outfit. Do they look good?

I personally think the Thorogoods look the best. They're pretty cheap, too, but how are they in snow and slush?

They were recommended by a few friends, idk

I don't have too much snow and slush where I'm at. Can't really attest to how well they work in that.

I have a pair of Thorogoods too, the leather feels so good and I love playing with it on my shoe when I'm just sitting around. Comfy too. Just make sure to get your right size.

You have a pair? I hear they take a while to break in. How are they in rain and snow?

I had a pair of steel toe Apache boots that lasted 2 1/2 - 3 years in construction while I was getting my degree and still cleaned up nice after all that wear and tear for a long while. Looked, felt, and broke in better than the red wings I tried first. I treated them with mink oil and cleaned with saddle soap, they did fine in snow and slush but that only comes around once or so a year where I live then it's just light snow or rain.

Fucking loved those boots. I miss them. Steel toe was showing through the leather by the time I was done with them.

Apply mink oil correctly and you should be fine. Hair dryer, cloth, and a little time is all you need.

Thanks, anon. I'm a little hesitant about dropping the $70 extra more to get the Katahdins over the Thorogood, but I heard the Katahdins are leaps and bounds better than the Thorogoods.
