These boots are garbage, they claim to be "waterproof" but they are not. They will breakdown and leak in less than 3 months of light service. Sent mine in for warranty and ended up getting told that they would no longer warranty them because they "can't determine the cause, and suspect it's the end user misusing them." How do you "misuse" a structural firefighting boot? Aren't they supposed to be the toughest out there? For the price, they should last longer than a couple of months under the harshest conditions, they should last for years.

nope they haven't fixed it. the inner liner still comes apart. all of my thorogoods did same. no more for me. brahmas from Walmart hold up better than these

Great boot. Comparable price. Good all-around firefighting boot. Highly recommend.

Well built boot but fit is terrible. "Heel locking" is too tight, even bought bigger size boot and the heel/ankle part of the boot is still too tight. Even took Hurst mini spreaders to the inside to loosen it up, helped a bit but still difficult to get off my feet. Not fun when trying to doff your bunker pants for a medical and you have to struggle on the ground to take them off.

I purchased boot in April 2017. On Oct. 4 2017 the inside of my right boot heel blew out. I have a pair of globes that lasted 6 years.. Now I am going to go back to globes.

It is stupidly tight at the top of the feet. I thought I would break them in eventually, but that was just wishful thinking. I do not have a wide feet.

I was concerned this might just be a show-piece. When I received it, it fit snugly and comfortably, it conformed to my SCBA mask without extra tending, and it has a nice aroma.

I've had mine for a few years now, they are very comfortable and light. They are warm during those cold Maine winter nights and stable in all ground conditions. I've had the same issue with mine that a few other reviewers have, the liners pull out (maybe Thorogood has fixed this issue?). I think that once the waterproof barrier breaks down that's when all hell breaks loose. I'd definitely buy another pair, maybe half a size bigger. They do run tight in the ankle bend area but seems to work out of that once they are broken in.

For this price, its a really great boot. Breaks in easy, nice reflective and good grip. The boot leather seems to age prematurely. If you got the money try the haix hero, globe supreme for comfort. If you like old school hard stiff boots get the honeywell. They feel like marines boots
