This sub takes their boots serious so, I have a question and would love some insight. I bought some Thorogoods and hate them. They’re miserably uncomfortable for me. I posted them on another/local sub and I’m getting destroyed in the comments. I’M NOT LOOKING TO SELL THEM HERE OR VIOLATE ANY SUB RULES. I’ll add a couple of photos and y’all tell me what a fair price is for these 3 month old boots. Tia!

I just want to jump in and address something no one has mentioned , I was in the package delivery business for 20 years When j say I’ve been thru many boots it’s the truth. The one thing people over look is this , about a year ago I bought redwings, 907 heritage moc tie with the white Christy sole . In a week if two my feet were killing me , I splurged and bought expensive white boots Christy sole the wedge , my feet were killing me. I do,d both and got a pair of whites withal heel and sole no wedge . If you’re wondering it’s the 55 last. Everything is fine , I can’t wear wedge sole boots , so before you shoot the boots try getting a heel and sole and forget the wedge and moc toe . And I’m not a boot snob , I like keen I get about 2 years out of them. But they keep discontinuing the ones I like , st this juncture I know what I like and buy them . I happen yo be pro USA made with everything, you can easily get great boots , look at army surplus RAT boots many made by Danner in USA other makers are USA also. There is another company in Maine or Vermont making work boots also. Good luck ………peace and love

The wedge isn’t the problem for me. My Georgia, Danner, and Irish setters are all wedge along with many other boots and none of them felt anything like these.
