Real words. Real people. Real jobs.

The strength of our economy relies on each of us to buy American made products when we can. If we simply make the effort, one purchase at a time, and look for the "Made in USA" label - then, we can start to make a difference.

The following customer comments reflect the efforts made by many people focused on making a great quality work boot...and providing the best customer service possible. TheBootPros LLC acknowledges the union workers and customer service staff at The Weinbreenner Shoe Company (makers of Thorogood™ work boots and HellFire™ firefighting boots) for their support of our efforts to promote and equip American workers with

I recently purchased boots from your website for my husband. I was brought to your website
by a review on the Popular Mechanics website: I found this review by doing a google search for
"best work boots." My husband looked through the reviews for each type of work boots and found
that yours looked the best for what he needed (he is a crane technician at a port).

He has been trying to find a good pair of work boots for years, trying a different brand and style
each time he needed new boots. His feet have been hurting, the boots have been heavy and downright
uncomfortable. They also never last very long and fall into disrepair quickly. Until now. As soon as
he tried on your boots, he had an intense look of relief on his face. He has only used them at work
for a few days, but says they are very comfortable and don't even need a "breaking in" period.
He loves all the features and the fact that they are lightweight (half the weight of his last boots)
and strong.

He wears a size 14, which is not commonly carried in stores, so we almost always have to take
our chances online and just see if we can find something that works. Thank you so much for making
the best work boots ever!! We also love that we are supporting an American company with
American employees.

Y'all are seriously the best and we are so grateful! We will never get boots from anywhere else again!

Just wanted to let you know that I purchased a pair of MaxWear wedge sole Thorogood boots 3 years ago
and with much shame admit that I have not taken the best care of them. That being said, they have lasted
2 years longer than the most comparable pair of boots I've owned (Red Wings, only pair still made in 'Merica).
The price one pays is more than worth the product that one recieves, especially considering they are Union made.
I always try to purchase American Made, union or not and I appreciate the service that you provide.

Union Yes and Semper Fi.

I am 47 years old and i have been in the truck and crane industry since i was 18 years old,
started with Red Wing boots and then went to Wolverines and then to Georgias and from now
on I will always be in Thorogoods!!!

I picked up a pair of the 6" moc toe boots and I cannot beleive how comfortable they are.
It was like putting on a pair of tennis shoes right out of the box, I can't stop talking about them.
I only wish i had known about them when I was 18!!!!!

Thanks to your fantastic customer service department & quality of product.

I just wanted to congratulate you on earning a new customer! I've been a Redwing wearer for 25 years!
Their comfort was compromised by non-quality products, in the last several years. I ordered my first pair
from a link on my IBEW website. Your company had the boots to me in 4-5 days , w/ free shipping.
I walked around the house for two different evenings , only to decide they were to small :) My wife called
the customer service line & not only did they take care of the exchange for a larger size , but your employees
made it very easy for my wife to take of this for me.

4-5 days later, I've received my next pair & they are awesome!!!!! Comfortable, beautiful & clearly the
higher quality I was anticipating :)! So ........ Congrats!! If they last as long as I expect they will, you'll
have successfully earned a new customer for the rest of my career !

Thanks so much.

I just wanted to say thank you for making an AWESOME boot! My husband used to go through
3 pair of boots every year. We tried your boots 2 years ago and they just now need to be replaced.

Really nice job! Can’t thank you enough for the quality, price and MADE IN THE USA!!

You ROCK!

I've had my first pair of Thorogoods for a year and love them! They are a far better made boot than
any other boot I have worn in my 18 years of installing elevators. Other IUEC members I have talked
to love them also!

Chris R. (IUEC) - Springhill, FL - (via our facebook page) -boot style #804-4205

Had a pair and hated them.... Its real sad to say but it was the worst pair of boots
I have ever owned.... only lasted me about 6 months with just normal wear and tear.
First and last I will ever buy.

I just recieved my second pair of 10" Oil Rig Wellingtons, a terrific boot. They are the most comfortable
boot that I have ever worn. Thank you TheUnionBootPro for selling a great American Made product. If
more Americans, bought American Made products, our country would have more jobs & be alot better off.

I'd never heard of your boots [Thorogood] till I was working a big job in east St Louis a few
years back. Seemed like everyone there wore them. I was wearing my Red Wings then and it
seemed like my soles couldn't hold up like everyone else's; they wore so quick. I bought a
pair of your boots out there and loved them.

I'll admit I went back and ordered a pair of Irish Setters by Red Wing and couldn't believe they
were made in China. Needless to say, they are my at home round-the-house boots and I still
wear yours to every job I go on. I am building two 4000ft bridges in my home local now and
they are still goin' strong, even been the hook on guy in the mud and water day in and day out!

TheUnionBootPro -

I recieved my Thorogood boots about 3 weeks ago. I must say these boots are the overall greatest pair
of boots that I have ever worn. Easy to break in, extreme comfort, and light weight. I usually buy a
Red Wing boot but it looks like that will be a thing of the past.

Thanks Walter you have a new loyal customer. Oh I forgot to mention that I am on a high profile union
job in Detroit and have recommend the product to everybody!!!

Great product, great people, great prices!!

Really nice job!

Can't thank you enough for the quality, price and MADE IN THE U.S.A.!!

You ROCK!

=============================================================

The boots were comfortable out of the box. Soon after, the arch support
was gone. I could feel the leading edge of the heel and could not keep the boots
from slipping off no matter how tight I tied them. Because of this I had blisters
on both heels and my feet were sore for days after.

Hi Walter,

I want to thank you for your help with my order. My boots are S060, Work One. VERY nice boot and they
fit better than any boot I have ever owned. No need to even break them in, they fit perfect when I first put
them on. I was a little skeptical at first by ordering something on the internet that I had never tried. I'm
glad I did order and I have encouraged others in our local to find the boot that best fits them and place an
order with The Union Boot Pro.

Question: Didn't you tell me they were getting ready to discontinue the narrow widths? I hope not as my
foot is an 11 "A" and "A" boots are hard to find. I would hate to finally find the boots I've always been looking
for (S060) be discontinued.

I look forward to doing business again next year when I order another pair. Maybe you can help me find some
"A" wide if the S060 is no longer made at that time.

Thanks again,

Mike B. (USW) - Panama City, FL -boot style #S060

=============================================================

Walter -

This is a super boot and I would recommend it to anyone. Like I said in a previous email, the first pair was the reason I ordered the second pair.

Thanks for you help.

A note on my new American made Thorogood work boots and how I came to purchase them. I’ve been a loyal Red Wing customer for some years, so when it was time for new boots, naturally I went to Red Wing. I was disappointed to find out that they were no longer made in the U.S., they are now made in China! So my journey to find American made boots took me to TheUnionBootPro where I was able to speak to the owner, Walter Brown, not a machine, a real person, and the owner at that. So if you or someone you know are in the market for new boots along with good old fashioned American Quality and Service give them a shot.

Tell them that Arnold, the Anacostia-Tin-Knocker sent you! You won’t be disappointed!

Arnold K. - Silver Spring, MD - boot style #814-4203

Your service is top shelf and the boots appear to be as good a quality if not higher than the numerous
Red Wings I’ve worn. Thank you.

My boots sucked my partners boots suck and you suck take the union label off those .

I received my Thorogood oil rig wellington boots about 2 weeks ago. I love my pair of boots from TheUnionBootPro. Much more comfortable than the Red Wings I've been wearing for the past 25 years. Thanks Walter.

Union made in Wisconsin, great boots and very comfortable.

=============================================================

Just wanted to let you know I've been using my Thorogood boots for a couple of months now and they are holding up really well. In my trade cheap boots don't last, and your feet pay for it. These boots fit like a pair of old boots right out of the box! No break in period needed! I'm really happy with these boots and will buy again. I've told all the guys I work with about the website and posted the card you sent with the boots at my union hall. God bless America! And Spend Your Money Where You Earned It!! Support your fellow Americans, and buy American!

Mark H. - Rochelle, IL

Knowing about this website (TheUnionBootPro), I will never buy another pair of Chinese Red Wings again especially for the same price or less!

Doug S. - Harrison, MI - (via our facebook page)

Just recieved my boots. There the most comfortable boot i ever bought. Proud to be wearing union made,
USA made boots!

Jesse F. - San Antonio, TX - (via our facebook page) - boot style #814-4960

=============================================================

On a more professional note, I wanted to thank you for such excellent service and for the most
comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn. They needed absolutely no break-in period whatsoever.
I was quite worried aboutfit as I am usually very difficult to fit. These boots fit like a glove. I've worn
them every day since receiving them (2 weeks tomorrow) for at least 10 hours a day.

I am so impressed with their construction and good looks. I am looking forward to a long-lasting relationship with these boots as well as your company. Again, thank you, and my best to your family.

Glen L. (Amtrak) - Lynchburg, VA - boot style #814-6379

Walter,

Our Wildland Boots arrived on Friday afternoon, quicker than I thought since they were still in production. They are perfect. Thank you again for your help and for your personal interest in every order. We will continue to recommend TheBootPros to coworkers and friends for their boot needs. Thank you again.

Kristy B. - Peyton, CO

I am very disappointed. I would rather buy Made in China boots than support
your American made product. Let me know when your able to make a better product
than I can buy at Walmart.

Walter,

I would like you and the manufacturing team to know that I have found the "soft streets chukka" the most comfortable work shoes I have had in a long long time. I am still pleased, I got a great comfortable pair of shoes made in the USA! Next time I will know exactly what to order.

Thank you,
Micheal D. - Vancouver, WA

=============================================================

Walter, and all of TheBootPros:

In response to your thank you letter, I too must say thank you to you. God bless America, and I'm not talking about the Washington whom has done their best to sell our country to the highest bidder. I'm talking about the America of citizens whom have lived and died in their devotion to the country we proudly fight for. "We The People"...need to TAKE it back. You at TheBootPros are keeping the dream alive. I will only buy American. And God bless everyone like yourselves whom know this.

Your product is amazing, and the quality of my new boots is beyond my expectations. They are so soft and the comfort is so astonishing. I will tell everyone that I know to buy from you.

God bless us all in the biggest battle we have ever faced as a country. We are fighting for survival now as a people. Let us show Washington and the world we stand on the greatness of our forefathers and awaken the pride and ferocity we have exchanged for complacency.

Haven't even received my boots yet and I am already more than satisfied with my purchase. With customer service like this, there is no need to look elsewhere. Thanks also, to the craftspeople. It is important to me that my investment is going to support a vital industry in this fine country of ours. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping me protect my feet! They are my livelihood!

Kevin K. - New Orleans, LA

=============================================================

I received my new boots yesterday and wore them to work last night!!! AWESOME!! I have spread the word on the jobsite !!! I am very pleased. I am a first time customer but definetly not a last time customer!! Thanks Union Boot Pro!!!!

Wayne B. - Lake Alfred, FL

=============================================================

To all the folks at TheBootPros:

Let me begin by expressing my very heartfelt thanks to you for all the effort and care you put into the shoes you make. I honestly can tell you that your craftsmanship and skill is noticed whenever I wear your product. I have been buying shoes from you guys for about 2 years now and I could not be any more pleased with the comfort and durability of the shoes. I am a military Navy guy who spends tons of hours a day up on the flight decks of aircraft carriers and airfields.

My feet and I love you!

I have recently been reassigned to a less hectic office job and you guys were the first on my list to find suitable casual uniform shoes for me. I was surprised to find that you do make casual shoes, with you guys being "the boot pro's" and all. I am glad that I discovered you among the many websites and shoe stores and I am blessed to have found a company that cares for its end products like you all do. The quality speaks for itself and with me, you have a customer for life. Thanks again.

Very respectfully,

Pharaoh M. - US Navy

My husband just loves his new quality Union, American made workboots!! Great job!! Keep up the good work!! :-}

Lou B. - Buna, TX

=============================================================

As Americans we have to each do our part as individuals to turn this economy around, the politicians cant change our standards as individuals and make us "Buy American" we have to do it ourselves! Thank you Union Boot Pro for doing your part to help turn this thing around one product at at time..you know have another lifelong commited customer who will now buy his boots only from you as long as they continue to be "Made in the USA"!

I wanted to wait for a while before I posted a comment, because I have bunions the size of golf balls. It takes a lot of time and limping to break in a pair of boots. With that being said, these are the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever had the pleasure of cursing at for three weeks! I should have gone a little wider, but that is my fault. The soles have plenty of cushion, and the leather is soft but very supportive! I even ran in them the other day for curiosity, and didn’t kill my knees. The brand name of them is Thorogood, which I’ve never heard of, but I can say that Redwing, Wolverine, Georgia etc. will never see another dime of my Union Wages! Good boots, so go buy a pair!

Andrew G. - Elk Point, SD

=============================================================

Walt,

I just bought my first pair of Thorogood work boots!!! I have always bought Redwings. I must say that I am going to start buying Thorogood instead! I never thought I would change after almost 30 years in the trade. I am definetly going to spread the word about your product! Unbelievable!!!

Jay D. - Sylvannia, OH

=============================================================

Mr. Brown,

The Thorogood boots are amazing. Your company and Thorogood have a customer for life. Thank you for all your help.

DJ - CA

=============================================================

Dear Customer Service:

I have worn these boots on the job now for just over 1 week now and thought I would send you my initial impressions.

First, a little background. This is the first pair of work boots I have purchased in over 15 years that were NOT Red Wings. I am an automotive manufacturing controls engineer that typically spends more than half my time in the manufacturing plants. The reason I purchased your boots was that my current assignment required steel toe boots and I didn't have the time to get fitted at a Red Wing dealer. I felt your website provided enough details about the product that I could buy in confidence.

On the plus side, these boots look good, are very light and were comfortable right out of the box. Some of the concerns I have that will play out over time include the light weight sole and their ability to wear well and the leather itself. I have already scuffed one boot and it appears the dye / oil is only surface deep. Other issues I am currently experiencing involve the tongue and the insole. The length of the tongue could be slightly longer. The shoelace knot tends to slip off the top of the tongue. Also, the fabric covering on the rubber insole is beginning to slide off the rubber. I have had to peal it completely off and reposition it.

That's all I have for now. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,

Carl E. - Clinton, MI

=============================================================

Hi Walter,

Just received my boots today, have them on right now. So far so good, I Hate to buy shoes-boots without trying them on first. They appear to fit fine, Quality seems to be right. And the [USA] flag on the tongue looks good!!

Next time you go buy paper towels, buy Sparkle Prints, for putting the print on the towel is what I do at the paper mill.

Keep America working!!!

Thanks

Andy G. - Crossett, AR

=============================================================

Walter -

These are great boots!

The quality of these boots are excelllent and the price was great. I am a superintendent and a union carpenter here in chicago, and now that you have to read the labels on Red Wings all the tradesmen I work with have been looking for a new boot. They will now know where to find em for I will be posting your site in all my construction offices!

Thanks for keeping it real!

Jeremy W. - Clarksburg, WV

=============================================================

I love these boots. "I will be buying my boots from TheBootPro for the rest of my career. They fit great, feel great and look great. Not only are these boots comfortable well after a typical 8 hour day, they also look like excellently crafted footwear that I am proud to wear." (Feel free to quote me on anything I wrote in quotes for testimonials, etc.)

Matthew G. - Chicago, IL

=============================================================

Dear Walter,

Great boots. I love them. Please send me a pair of the 804-4240 in 8W also. Use the same card #. I am very happy to find a boot that is as nice as the thurogood, it is as nice as my chippewas and I look to being able to buy the american made ones soon. Same address etc. Thanks.
