Your Father's Work Boot, Built for the Modern Tradesman
While these may look like your father's work boots, there's no mistaking that the 1957 Series is built for the needs of the modern working man. With a vintage-inspired moc toe design and rich Briar Pitstop full-grain leather, these boots can take you from the job site to a night out in style.
Goodyear storm welt construction, a MAXWear 90™ outsole, and a steel safety toe are built for a lifetime of honest work. Designed with the tradesman in mind, these boots offer EH protection, oil and slip resistance, and genuine waterproofing out of the box.

An 8″ Height for Extra Coverage
The taller 8-inch shaft gives your ankles more coverage and support than the 6″ version, a good choice for jobs where you want the extra protection.
Waterproof Where It Counts
Unlike much of Thorogood's catalog, the 1957 Series is built with a genuine waterproof membrane, so mud and wet grass aren't a problem.
Why Choose the Thorogood 1957 Series 804-4941?
If you want steel-toe protection, genuine waterproofing, and the extra ankle coverage of an 8″ height, this is the pick — classic mid-century looks with the MAXWear 90™ outsole's max traction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standard does this boot meet?
The 804-4941 meets ASTM F2413 for safety-toe footwear, covering impact and compression resistance.
Is this boot actually waterproof?
Yes — it's built with genuine waterproofing out of the box, so wet and muddy jobsites aren't a problem.
What's different about the MAXWear 90 outsole?
It has a distinct heel-flared design built for maximum traction, oil resistance, and slip resistance, different from the MAXWear Wedge outsole used elsewhere in the 1957 Series.
Can this boot be resoled?
Yes. Goodyear storm welt construction means the upper is stitched to the welt rather than glued, so it can be resoled multiple times instead of replaced.
