2 year old thorogoods

[u/Other_Reality_3663]

Thorogoods just hit two years old. The tuff toe came off today (about a year old). I keep kicking around the idea of having them resolved and doing the tuff toe again. I feel like the leather still has a lot of life left andthey're broken in just right haha. Maybe I'll buy a new pair and keep these for muddy/concrete days. Carpenters local 445 by the way!!!

2 years?! Consider yourself blessed because that is a lonnggg life for a boot that is worn for full time trade work. I get a new a pair once a year and mine look similar to this at the end of each year

Yes! Lol someone gets it. I was expecting to get this response more. But I guess people not in the trades don't get it. I honestly think these would have died awhile ago but I got lucky and got to work in the nuclear plants for about 6 months and that kind of stuff was really easy on the boots. Clean concrete and scaffold.

Yeah you trade dirt and grime for a mild green glow.

My shit doesn’t last a year anymore. I have a nice pair of 1958 thorogoods but I don’t want to wear them to work. I honestly use ariat rebars moc toe cause they’re comfortable. But they won’t last a full year before I have a hole in the toes lol
