Thorogood Boots

Get the Right Boot for the Job

You always want to use the right tool for the job, and this is exactly how you should think when it comes to footwear. What boots are right for you depends mainly on your workplace or hobby, and the weather conditions you are exposed to.

If safety is a concern for you, getting a pair of work boots with a reinforced toe box should be your top priority. Thorogood offers a wide selection of safety boots for any job with different levels of protection. Basically, there are three types of toe boxes, depending on what materials are used in their construction. Below, we will give you a short overview of their differences:

Steel toe – The steel toe is the classic feature of safety boots. While the additional weight can often be felt when wearing a steel toe boot, it offers unmatched protection against all types of foot injuries, from impact and crushing to cuts. However, due to its properties, steel tends to get hot or cold quite quickly, which makes it less than a perfect option in environments where your feet would be exposed to extreme temperatures.

Composite toe – Since it is made of non-metal materials such as carbon fiber, kevlar, and plastic, this type of toe box is comparatively lighter. Although the materials it is made of can’t quite match the resistance of steel, the composite toe still provides the wearer with enough protection from both compression and impact injuries. The main advantage of the composite toe is that it does not transmit heat or cold, which makes it the go-to option when the temperature is an issue.

Alloy toe – Made of metal alloys (primarily aluminum and titanium), the alloy toe offers similar levels of protection to steel, with considerably less added weight.

Some of the other useful features certain Thorogood boots models offer are ThinsulateTM insulation (with different fabric thickness for all, including the coldest environments) and a wedge sole for some extra slip-resistance both indoors and outdoors.

Are all Thorogood Boots Waterproof?

Not all Thorogood boots are waterproof. However, most of them are water-resistant. There is a significant (but often overlooked) difference between the two terms and people tend to confuse them.

While a water-resistant boot will keep your feet dry when exposed to rain, moisture, and even brief submersion, they are not meant to be drenched in liquids, as the materials will start soaking them in after a while. On the other hand, most waterproof boots have an additional layer that does not allow water through even after prolonged exposure.

How do Thorogood Boots Fit?
