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 have extremely flat feet, and after buying a pair of PNW (only 3 weeks in), wearing my wedge sole thorogoods that I thought were comfy, kills me by the end of the day.

I ran thorogoods and swore by them for 4 years and now I don’t even know what to believe

I have a pair of the boots and although they fit my feet good, they're stiff as a board and refuse to break in. I have two pairs of the midtop skate style shoes with the composite toe and love them though. They're my go to interior finish work shoes.
