Thorogood GEN-Flex2 8” Side-Zip Wellington Pull On Work Boots for Men - Full-Grain Leather with Safety Toe, Storm Welt Construction, and Traction Outsole; EH Rated

I want to preface this review by saying, I'm very hard on boots and it is very difficult to find a comfortable pair that aren't lace up. I've had terrible luck buying pull on boots. The heel areas inside tend to tear up rather quickly before I can even wear the boots out. And, other boots I've tried don't tend to fit well after a while. All of this due in part, to the fact that I have a fused ankle. Other boots I've worn have hurt my feet, lost their fitment, and torn up within a half of a year. I've tried "Worx", "Redwing", along with some cheaper and more expensive brands with terrible luck. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'm gonna say these boots are fantastic. The fact that they have a zipper will hopefully prevent the inside material from ripping out. I think I'm still in the break-in period, but right out of the box? These boots feel and look great! Only recently have my toes been rubbing and wearing on the insole causing them to be a little sore. Took a couple weeks of extensive labor to "break down" the interior. I've added an extra insole and usually wear 2 pairs of socks. The outsole has stood up really well to molten iron spills and other iron foundry work. I'm extremely happy with them and would 100% buy them again. I normally wear a regular toe box boot, but ordered wide this time. Glad I did. I've considered buying another pair for recreation. I'll see how these finish breaking in first. So, yeah...I have special pediatric considerations, (fused ankle), I'm about as hard on a pair of boots as a guy can be, and I would buy another pair without thinking about it. They're easy to get off and on, and I've had good results walking through water puddles and wearing them in the rain. My feet stayed dry. I would tell anyone who has had terrible luck with buying boots to try these. I am pleasantly surprised.Sincerely,Husband of this account holder

My husband bought these boots for work, they are sturdy and comfortable, he really likes them.He's super picky about his boots , if was at any bit unsatisfied he would return them. Highly recommend

Less than 2 months of wear time and boots are tearing up at the heels as shown in my pictures. My husband is a general contactor and wears these boots daily for various jobs. He said the boots are a little heavy but comfortable. Less than 2 months of wear he realized the debris in the boots were the heel areas falling apart.

I have very wide feet and I ordered 11W and there is plenty of room for larger winter socks. However, they do run big so I suggest buying a half size smaller than you usually wear. The boot is super comfortable and comes with a nice and thick insole. There is a zipper on the side which I did not notice prior to ordering which helps greatly when slipping the boots on and off. I would give the boots 5 stars but since they run large, I am looking for solutions to take up room inside the boot. I did not feel like exchanging them because i needed them ASAP.

Great Boots bought for son in law and he loves them

Update: I ordered the next size smaller (9.5). I want the side zipper for easier on-off, and for a tighter heel pocket. Getting free returns on one size and not the next, along with wildly fluctuating prices for the same boot makes no sense to me.Size 10 did not fit and had to pay to return.

The person I bought these for loves them. They put insoles and always wear socks.Perfect fit.They get frustrated bc the stores around town don't have sizes to fit them. They need a size 16 wide, but can wear 14-15 if necessary. I got the biggest size I could find. 15.5 wide. And apparently it was a good call. It even came with a pair of socks! That they now want me to find more of bc they fit, (something else they have issues finding), but I don't remember what kind they were.After doing research on sewn together boots with a zipper bc I didn't want them to have to deal with the heel coming loose, like what's happening with my walmart special boots I bought for myself, (Eventually getting a different pair, later), I settled on these, with their approval. We live on a ranch and go through shoes and boots quickly. Glued together shoes/ boots last 3-4 months max and are a waste of money, IMO. Here's to hoping these last longer.

They started out good and comfortable, good support as well but the counter heel started a to breakup2 months after wearing daily. I started feeling small chips of something in my boot and that's when I noticed the plastic pieces breaking apart on the inside behind the heel.
