Re: A question for the US members.
I tried Thorogoods about a two years ago, the arch support was gone after six months. My feet and back couldn't take it so I bought another pair of Redwings, they're 1.5 years old and holding up fine. I'm on my feet all day on concrete and the boots are usually wet or at least damp. In the past I got around two years out of a pair of these, I've probably had 8 pairs over the years and I thought I could save a few bucks getting something else. The Thorogoods I tried were not cheap either, about $200. If they quit making my old standby I might just retire.
