Product Description
As a shout-out to Weinbrenner’s roots, every pair of Mondovis in the Thorogood 1892 line is made in the traditional way. Not only are they Goodyear welted, allowing them to be resoled ad infinitum, they’re also made with Chromexcel leather from American-heritage brand Horween Leather Company Read More

Are these union made? My understanding is that Thorogood boots are made by UFCW members. Is that true for this pair, or is it like Red Wing where a smaller and smaller selection of their boots are built by union labor. I don't see it noted in this description anywhere.

mynameismynameYes, their U.S. made boots are all union made right there in Merrill WI! I have 4 pairs of Thorogoods, 2 pairs of roofers (discontinued), Omni steel toe black, and my favorite, the 1892 Portage in black. To learn more about Thorogood (and other brands), subscribe to The Boot Guy website. Here is a link to his video about Thorogood visit in Madison Wisconsin, meeting with parent company's Richard Marten of Weinbrenner! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdFUN9GkmBo&t=84s. You cannot find a pair of boots with Horween Chromexcel leather as affordable as you will on Massdrop!

The funny thing is Horween is not in the outskirts, it's located right in the middle of the north side. It's basically across from a Best Buy and is within walking distance of any number of yuppie stores, bars, and restaurants. It's a very unexpected location for a tannery.

naterwHorween Chromexcel leather is a smooth, oiled top of the line product. It is stuffed with different oils and waxes, and has a nice easy/smooth medium shiny sheen. It is made with both Cowhide OR, horsehide. I will assume this is cowhide, as Thorogood would say otherwise. You will have to break them in (which is getting the sole to bend with your upper). This will take a while. As Richard Martens of Weinbrenner (the parent company) says, "you earn the right to wear the 1892 collection." My recommendation to keep them in top shape is Sahphir boot cream, as it has neatsfoot oil as one of the ingredients, which is also one of the ingredients that this leather is stuffed with. This also allows you to keep a shine on them. See attachment of my Thorogood 1892 Portage with Holiday Blue shoe laces. I just buffed the pair with Saphir. Go for it! Oh, the regular oil tanned leather thorogood boots are softer, especially the tobacco colored oil tanned leather on their 814-4200 model, their most popular model. For those, I use Montana Pine Pitch blend to keep the oils in.

I'm going to work on every shoe and boot related drop until bigger sizes are available. Hell, I offered to help raise funds for production.

My apologies for the delay. In better times I would be self serving and say US15 (whatever width). I dont have the ducats to cough up lately.

Salutations. Anyone familiar with the sizing on those boots? The look somewhat reminiscent of Indy boots.

Had the Heritage Moc Toes a year and 4 months...Wear them often, but not daily. They feel like a sneaker (Thorogood will replace the soles). I've yet to put mink oil on them and they've held up great. I don't baby them, but I don't abuse them either. Here is a pic of them new, I don't have any current pics.

Not a deal. The exact same boots can be ordered straight from the manufacturer (via nearby retailers like Milworks) for $195-200, free shipping.
And they allow exchanges if you get the wrong size, which Massdrop doesn't.

ludachrisI would take an average of what you usually size for your regular shoes. Then go 1/2 size smaller. If you want to be sure, then go to a shoe store that sells work boots and have them measure you using that step sizer. What ever you are told, go 1/2 size down from your measurement to be safe.

ludachrisNo. I would add the two sizes together and go with a size 16. Your welcome.

JayS82Hard to say really -- but since these run a bit on the large side of things i'd suggest a 10.5 for you.
Again, it depends on how you like to wear your boots and what running shoes you're referencing here. But on average the info you give leads me to believe a 10.5 would be just fine. :)
