About Thorogood
Thorogood started in 1892 as Albert Weinbrenner's cobbler shop in Milwaukee, making footwear for people who work with their hands. By 1917 the company was building job-fitted boots, a boot made for the work you actually do, and that idea still runs through the line.
The boots are still finished in union factories in Wisconsin by an employee-owned company. The American Heritage moc toe is the one most people know: a wedge sole made for long days on hard floors.
At Nigro's we carry Thorogood in both soft toe and safety toe, and we fit every pair in person.
