An 8″ Height for Extra Coverage
The taller 8-inch shaft gives your ankles more coverage and support than a 6″ boot, a good choice for jobs where you want the extra protection.
Crazy Horse Leather Wears the Job Well
Crazy Horse leather is treated to have a naturally weathered, pull-up look — it hides scuffs and scrapes better than smoother leathers, and develops more character the more you wear it.
Why Choose the Thorogood American Heritage 814-4178?
If you want the rugged look of Crazy Horse leather with the extra ankle coverage of an 8″ height, this is the pick — roomy moc toe comfort, breathable unlined leather, and a wedge outsole built for traction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Crazy Horse leather?
It's a full-grain leather finished to have a naturally weathered, pull-up look. It hides scuffs well and develops more character the more it's worn.
Why choose an 8″ height over 6″?
The taller shaft gives your ankles more coverage and support, which some jobs call for over the added mobility of a lower-cut boot.
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.
Is this boot good for warm-weather or indoor work?
Yes — the unlined Crazy Horse leather is built to breathe, keeping feet cooler through summer heat, indoor shifts, or any job where a fully sealed boot would feel too warm.
