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 Albert, who had begun apprenticing at age 13, believed he was on to something with his vision for “job-fitted” footwear.

What began way back then is still growing today. Thorogoods 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, Thorogoods never compromise. The attention to every single detail is unparalleled. The quality and care are apparent the moment you take them out of the box. And our signature combination of old-world craft and modern technology delivers the ultimate in comfort and durability.

In other words, as we like to say around here: We work harder on our boots so you can work harder in them. It’s a promise we’ve been keeping for over 130 years. And we plan on keeping it a whole lot longer.
