Why should I order from TheUnionBootPro?

We wear the boots we sell. So, in most cases we have first hand knowledge and
experience with the products. We get it - your boots are an important piece of equipment.

We talk to our customers. By doing so, we learn a few things along the way that
help the next customer, and the next, and the next.

We work as hard as you do, everyday. Okay, so maybe we sit on our butts, behind desks all day, but that doesn't mean keeping 40,000 union members customers happy
isn't hard work.

We sells only Thorogood® occupational safety work boots.
MADE IN USA since 1892 - UNION MADE since 1946.

Our offices are smackdab between both Thorogood factories - 20 miles in
either direction. We personally and professionally know the folks that make Thorogood
work boots possible. We talk to them daily. We visit them monthly.

We've been in business since 2006. So, we must be doing something right.

Our customers can tell you, we treat our customers the way we would want to be treated.
Our goal is simple: providing the best made boots at the best price...and if there is a problem, we do everything we can to solve it.

Check out our customer comments: Real words. Real people. Real jobs.

Finally, we now have a smartphone-friendly website app. Our union customers
demanded it; we built it.

Check it out: Smartphone-friendly. Easy to use. Better for the eyes.

Why does TheUnionBootPro sell only Thorogood® work boots?

We did our homework. We discovered, first hand, that Thorogood® is truly dedicated to making the best job-fitted work boots in America. They have been quietly (and without alot of hipe, like other more well-known brands) designing and making the toughest work boots for the toughest work environments ...since 1892!

We've watched the boots being made. Every MADE IN USA boot begins its life with
the hand selection of raw leather. After that, over 125 manufacturing steps are required to complete a boot. During this process, over 10 "in-line" inspections occur that guarantees that every pair of boots delivered will perform as promised.

As many of our customers have discovered, a Thorogood® work boot is both comfortable out of the box and up to the demands of the toughest job.

Ask... any electrician, carpenter, ironworker, boilermaker, sheetmetal worker, utility lineman, millwright, assembler or fabricator who has worn Thorogood® work boots and you will discover a dedication to the brand that recognizes the quality of workmanship, comfort and performance they experienced after a long day on the job. American workers trust their Thorogood® work boots.

Why should I support TheUnionBootPro with my business?

Thorogood® brand work boots are made by the Weinbrenner Shoe Company, at
factories in Merrill and Marshfield, Wisconsin. Both factories have been union organized
since 1943. Thorogood® craftsmen and women are proudly represented by UFCW Locals 688 and 717.

Simply put, when you buy MADE IN USA, UNION MADE footwear from TheUnionBootPro
you are supporting American working families and therefore, our economy. Every work
boot, over 128 styles, sold at TheUnionBootPro is made from 99% American supplied
materials -- except for the brass loop eyelets that are made in Italy (Why? We don't
know, other than there are no American manufacturers around.).

Over 40,000 union customers representing over 14,000 labor union local nationwide and
in Canada have trusted TheUnionBootPro with their business. We are proud of this fact -
it gives us the motivation to exceed your expectations - just as the work boots do.

How do I pick out the right size?

This is a tricky one. Every foot is different and, therefore, the perfect fit is ultimately up to the wearer. Thorogood MADE IN USA footwear tends to feel more generous as far as size goes when compared to imported footwear styles. Please keep that in mind when ordering. You may want to order a 1/2 size smaller than imported athletic style work shoes.

"Quick Release" style shoes and "Wellington" style boots tend to feel tighter when first worn. Unlike lace-up styles, that allow the wearer to secure the fit, quick release and wellingtons are designed with a secured fit to start. This feature prevents heel travel up and down. Over time these styles will conform to the shape of the wearer's foot.

This suggestion might sound odd, but try ordering two sizes if you very unsure. This method can save you money on shipping in the long run and guarantee the right fit.

Is there warranty protection?

Yes, our SSL Certificate agreement with GoDaddy.com provides $2,000 of financial protection for customers if they were to suffer financial loss as a direct result of relying on a certificate that was issued through the negligence of GoDaddy.com.

1. How do I take care of my shoes or boots?

Clean leather with a conditioner/cleaner. Clean Cordura nylon with detergent and water.

Treat waterproof leather with a silicone product only. Treat smooth leather with a quality shoe polish, then buff. Full grain leather can first be treated with a boot oil or silicone before applying the polish.

Allow footwear to dry slowly at room temperature only, never by a heat source.

Keep the insides of the footwear dry and clean with powders and disinfectant sprays. Consider a second pair. This allows the one to dry out thoroughly while the other pair is being worn.
