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.
A Different Outsole for a Different Feel
The MAXWear 90™ outsole has a distinct heel-flared silhouette, giving it a different grip pattern and profile than the MAXWear Wedge™ found elsewhere in the line — a defined heel that bites on loose ground and catches a ladder rung, where the wedge is at its best on flat floors.
Why Choose the Thorogood American Heritage 804-4378?
For jobs that require steel-toe protection and the extra ankle coverage of an 8″ height, this is a dependable pick — rugged Crazy Horse leather, resoleable construction, and a distinct MAXWear 90 outsole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standard does the 804-4378 meet?
The steel safety toe meets ASTM F2413 for impact and compression resistance, and the boot is EH rated for protection against electrical hazards in dry conditions.
What's different about the MAXWear 90 outsole?
It has a distinct heel-flared design with a defined heel, giving it a different grip pattern than the MAXWear Wedge outsole used elsewhere in the line. Choose the 90 for uneven ground, ladders, and gravel; choose the wedge for flat concrete and finished floors.
How does the American Heritage break in?
The Poron® insole and shock-absorbing footbed are comfortable from the first wear, and the unlined Crazy Horse leather softens and molds to your foot over the first couple of weeks. The steel cap does not stretch, so size for room across the toes from day one with a snug heel.
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.
What does the composite shank do?
It gives the arch flexible, non-metallic support through long shifts, so the only steel in the boot is the toe cap — and the sole flexes naturally where a stiff steel shank would fight it.
Is this boot good for warm-weather or indoor work?
Yes, the unlined Crazy Horse leather is built to breathe, so steel-toe protection doesn't come at the cost of comfort on hot days or long indoor shifts.
