My American Boots

July 3, 2007

Flagboots

Flag_boot_tongue I don't normally wear my work boots to the office, but this week I thought I'd show a little national spirit with my Heritage line of Thorogood boots—made with pride in Wisconsin since 1892.

With an American flag embroidered on the tongue (right above the AFL-CIO logo, LEFT) the boots are about as American as that iconic 1932 image of construction workers having lunch on a girder hundreds of feet above the New York streets.

In fact, if my squinting is accurate, those guys wore Thorogood boots to work that day, too.

Ed. Note: The Hardware Aisle, in competition with Toolmonger, will feature the most unabashedly patriotic products we can find, every day, until our nation celebrates its 231st birthday. This is part 10 of a series we call This Old Glory.

www.thebootpro.com is the only internet site that sells Weinbrenner boots exclusively. Thorogood Work One boots are the best!
