USA-Made, Goodyear Storm Welt
Built in Thorogood's Wisconsin factory, the upper is stitched to a storm welt that seals the seam between upper and sole, and the welt is stitched to the MAXWear wedge — a boot that resists water at the seam and can be resoled by a cobbler when the sole finally wears.
Wedge Comfort Without the Cap
The full-contact MAXWear wedge spreads weight evenly on concrete and flat floors, the Poron cushion and shock-absorbing footbed take the sting out of long shifts, and a plain toe gives the forefoot room to flex — lighter and softer than the safety-toe version of the same boot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the 814-4261 meet?
It is rated ASTM F2892-18 EH — electrical hazard protection on a soft-toe boot with no protective cap — and the MAXWear wedge outsole is slip- and oil-resisting.
How does the American Heritage 814-4261 fit?
It runs true to size with a roomy plain-toe forefoot — order the size you wear in athletic shoes, and choose Wide if you normally need an E/EE width. The footbed is removable if you run your own orthotic.
Can the 814-4261 be resoled?
Yes. Goodyear storm welt construction means a cobbler can stitch a new MAXWear wedge onto the original upper — plan on years of wear from one pair of uppers.
Is the 814-4261 waterproof?
It is a non-waterproof leather boot; the storm welt and full-grain leather shed light moisture and the leather can be treated, but there is no waterproof membrane.
What's the difference between the 814-4161 and 814-4261?
Same American Heritage Plain Toe Wedge build. The 814-4161 is the 6-inch height and the 814-4261 is the 8-inch, which adds ankle coverage and support. If you want the same boot with a steel toe and a MAXWear 90 heeled outsole, see the 804-4111 and 804-4211.
How do I care for Crazy Horse leather?
Brush off dirt, let the boot dry away from heat, and rub in a leather conditioner or wax every few months — Crazy Horse is a pull-up leather that scuffs and then rubs back to a rich patina with wear.
