The Thorogood American Heritage 6" Moc Toe sits at the lighter end of the boot cluster. Its premium leather upper and Goodyear welt construction produce a fit consistent with Desert Boot and Apache Lacer, but it doesn't run as far below sneaker sizing as the more heavily built Iron Ranger and Beckman. This makes Thorogood the most approachable of the heritage work boot lineup in terms of length sizing relative to sneakers.
