What happens here

Stan performs a direct comparison between two leading work boot brands: Red Wing and Thorogood. He previously used Red Wing boots, which lasted five years each, but then switched to Thorogood. He discusses the differences in comfort, weight, and waterproofing. He notes that Thorogood boots are generally heavier but offer superior comfort and better waterproofing than his Red Wing GORE-TEX boots. He puts both boots through an 'ultimate waterproofing test' by submerging them in water, showing that Thorogood performed better in preventing moisture wicking through the leather compared to Red Wing. He indicates that his Red Wing boots often allowed some moisture through at the mid-level, making his feet wet, which he dislikes.

Goal: Understand the differences in features and performance between Red Wing and Thorogood work boots.

day because I didn't put good boots on my feet when I was in my 20s and it's a little too late for me but it's not too late for you I wish I could go back in time and slap a decent set of boots on my feet so I could now wake up without laying on the floor rolling around for 20 minutes trying to be able to move shop locally now some of you guys are gonna go oh hey Stan do you like caterpillar boots caterpillar makes awesome equipment but as far as their clothing goes they're not made in the United States and I'm not going to put them on my feet I'm not gonna tell you where they're made or to touch ah but maybe you guys can figure that out I prefer the Red Wings time-tested proven amazing boots that perform and do everything I've ever wanted them to do the difference between my red wing and my Thorogood is a level of comfort and weight the Thorogood boot is a much heavier boot for my daily boot I'm gonna be grabbing this one before I grab my red wing the reason is because this is a much more comfortable boot and it's waterproofing seems to hold up better than these Red Wings and I put these boots to the ultimate waterproofing test now no boot is gonna be waterproof above your ankle or above the the top of the the joint spacing here but up to that level I consider it all should be fair game anything below that down my feet should not experience any moisture and the Redwings my feet have I've had these boots up to around this level and notice the moisture wicking in through the leather I don't want to work in wet feet all day long the Thorogood on the other hand amazingly waterproof i've told you to shop locally if you have to have a red-winged dealer buy you perfect but if you don't have one then you're gonna have to go online to order as far as these Thorogood boots cull there's a company that called works men and i know for effect if you can't find these boots
