There's a lot to talk about here when it comes to Thorogood vs Red Wing vs Chippewa and while I had a hard time deciding on which products to compare, I decided to go with each of their most popular boots. READ THE FULL REVIEW: https://stridewise.com/red-wing-vs-ch... FIRST GLANCE Red Wing Iron Ranger Best known for its kind of bulbous cap toe, this shoe is made with thick oil-tanned leather, shiny nickel eyelets, and has a smooth nitrile cork sole. Note that newer models are made with a Vibram sole. Chippewa To be honest, when most people think of the word "boot," they probably think of something that looks like this. An uncomplicated service boot aesthetic, this shoe has a plain toe, Crazy Horse leather, and a grippy Vibram sole. Thorogood Obviously the big difference is a moc toe but there's also the polyurethane sole — said to be 25% more durable than Vibram — and a ton of busy stitching all around the outside. All three shoes have a Goodyear welt. ** SEE MY 5 FAVORITE BOOTS OF ALL TIME HERE:    • THE 5 BEST MEN'S BOOTS YOU CAN BUY - Tough...   ** LEATHER Red Wing Oil tanned leather from Red Wing's own tannery, SB Foot Tanning Co, I confess I really darkened the crap out of these boots by using Obenauf's when I should have used mink oil, but I still love the leather. It's thick, it's scratch resistant, and it doesn't require a ton of conditioning. Chippewa Crazy Horse leather is made with full grain steer leather. It's had a kind of wax applied to it that strengthens the fibers in such a way that they change color when you rub them. It's not remotely formal but it looks great in informal situations, but note that it ages pretty fast. Thorogood This is oil tanned leather but it's thinner and ages faster than Red Wing. I cant say I'm disappointed because it's much, much less expensive, but if you value aesthetics over value you might not love this leather. ** SEE THE RED WING IRON RANGER REVIEW HERE:    • Red Wing Iron Rangers Review, 1 Year Old   ** SOLE Red Wing This is a nitrile cork sole, which has better grip than you might think, plus it's more durable than a leather sole. Newer models have a grippy Vibram lug. This shoe has a cork midsole, a leather insole, and a steel shank. Chippewa A nice Vibram outsole combined with a cork midsole, leather insole, and steel shank. If you think this sounds like Red Wing you'd be right, but this easily has the worst shock absorption of the three. Thorogood Polyurethane outsole, rubber midsole, poron insole, fiberglass shank. All of which is why this is a much lighter shoe than the other three and when that' all combined with a shock absorbing insert, this also offers the best shock absorption and arch support of the three. It's more like a sneaker. Not everyone loves that. ** SEE THE FULL CHIPPEWA SERVICE BOOT REVIEW HERE: https://stridewise.com/chippewa-servi... ** PRICE Red Wing $300 - $330 Chippewa $270 - $290 Thorogood $170 - $190 VERDICT Red Wing Pros Great leather, doesn't need a lot of care Super durable and well constructed Most versatile Cons Worst break in Most expensive 270-degree Goodyear welt Chippewa Pros Somewhat cheap (under $300) Classic aesthetic Good grip Cons Worst shock absorption Least durable, leather wrinkled, a lot of loose threads Heels are coming off Thorogood Pros Lightweight Cheapest Decent workboots Cons Not versatile Not great leather Feels more like a sneaker than a boot
