Thorogood has been building dependable footwear for hardworking people since 1892. Founded in Milwaukee by Albert Weinbrenner, the company began with a simple idea: create “job-fitted” footwear designed specifically for the needs of workers and tradespeople.

More than 130 years later, that same commitment to craftsmanship continues. Thorogood combines time-tested bootmaking techniques with modern materials and technology to create footwear known for comfort, durability, and performance on the job.

Thorogood is employee-owned and maintains a strong commitment to American manufacturing, with select boots built in union factories in Wisconsin using USA and globally sourced components. From construction sites and utility work to public safety and everyday wear, Thorogood boots are made for people who expect their footwear to work as hard as they do.
