Substance Over Style — But It Looks Great Too
Thorogood® American Heritage 6″ black moc toe work boots always put substance over style, but the black full-grain leather looks great too. Strong and durable, just like the person who wears them, these boots are up to the task and built to last.
The six-inch shaft and composite shank give you the support and flexibility you need when you're on your feet all day, and the MAXWear Wedge™ slip-resistant outsole helps keep you upright. The shock-absorbing footbed and cushioned insole make these some of the most comfortable work boots you'll own, and they look just as good off the clock.

A 6″ Height for Everyday Flexibility
The lower six-inch shaft gives you more freedom of movement at the ankle than a taller boot, while still offering solid support — a good middle ground for jobs that call for mobility over maximum coverage.
Black Leather, On and Off the Clock
Black full-grain leather reads a little dressier than the classic tobacco colorway, which makes this pair an easy transition from the jobsite to wherever you're headed after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the black leather show scuffs more than tobacco?
Full-grain leather in either color develops character with wear. Black tends to hide scuffs better day to day, while tobacco shows more visible patina over time.
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 there a safety toe version of this boot?
Yes, the 804-6201 is the same black 6″ moc toe boot with a steel safety toe added.
Is this boot good for warm-weather or indoor work?
Yes — the unlined black 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.
