At Thorogood, We’re Proud to Trace Our Legacy Back To 1892.
That’s when Albert Weinbrenner, a first-generation German immigrant, took over his father’s cobbler shop in Milwaukee. The small business catered to the city’s workers and tradespeople and was more than just a job for Albert. It was a passion that he had nurtured since his apprenticeship at the age of 13. His vision for “job-fitted” footwear was not just a business idea but a testament to his dedication and love for his craft.
What began way back then is still growing today. Thorogood’s are built to specs Albert would be proud of, and our work has expanded to three Wisconsin factories and beyond. Regardless of which style you choose or what you wear them for, Thorogood never compromises. The attention to every single detail is unparalleled. The quality and care are apparent when you take them out of the box. Our signature combination of old-world craft and modern technology delivers ultimate comfort and durability.
In other words, as we say around here, we work harder on our boots so you can work harder in them. We’ve been keeping this promise for over 130 years, a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and durability. And we plan on keeping it a lot longer, ensuring that each pair of Thorogood continues to be a reliable companion for your every step.
