However, while both brands are top-notch, it is important to know which is best suited for you and your needs. That being said, keep reading for Next Luxury’s guide on everything you need to know about Thorogood Boots and Red Wing Heritage Boots. 

Thorogood Boots

The first boot from Thorogood to make a mark on the industry was the “Jobber” work boot. Due to their unique and functional design, Thorogood was able to make a name for itself as one of the most well-constructed footwear options for men who work laborious jobs or find themselves on their feet for long stints of time and in rough conditions.

Since the Jobber, Thorogood has come out with several different styles and designs. While some of these are more focused on safety, there are also a few options that can be used more superficially for style. In regards to their appearance, most Thorogood boots have a more traditional style that features a moc toe and lace-up design in the front. They also come in a variety of different colors ranging from light brown to walnut to black.
