text: I've worn Thorogood boots (made in the USA) for years.  A few weeks ago I ordered 2 different sizes of the same boot directly from Thorogood.  Basic 8 eyelet, steel toe, wedge work boots.  I usually ware a size 12, but my last Thorogood boots were too big.  Hence the reason for 2 different sizes (11.5 and 12).  Neither fit properly, so I returned both and gave up on their USA boots and tried the Thorogood Gen-Flex boots made overseas.  HUGE mistake.  These boots seamed a little snug in the toes, but not too bad.  Unlike my other Thorogoods, these are pretty stiff.  I figured they needed broke in.  WRONG.  The fit actually got worse as time went.  Today was my 3rd day wearing them and I'm done with them.  My feet are killing me and so is my shin and I've went through a box of bandaids covering the blisters on my heals and toes.  Steer clear of these.  Thorogood, to my extreme disappointment, seems to be going downhill.  Time for me to find another American made boot company.
