Damn, my whole post just got deleted while trying to add an image.
Here I go again.
I have four pairs of these boots - different colors. They are amazing. They run about 1/2 size large. They come with an insole that is removable. With that, you can use or remove the insole and vary socks thickness to make them fit just right - and being lace-to-toe, you can get them tightened to fit your perfectly.
The shoes are heavy, and they are the real-deal, Made in the USA built to last. I get compliments everywhere I go - I've climbed mountains in them, walked for days on vacation, and just for general bumming around. I will be joining this drop as the Natural were on my short list.
Thorogood is a great American company, located in WI, and the people there are tops.
Here's some I polished up during the Vikings halftime yesterday.
BTW, I am talking about the Portage roofers here, although I own the others as well.
I wear a 13, but some of them are 12's. For the 12's, I wear a thinner sock. For the Natural, I am not sure what way to go, but either work fine for me.
For fun, when I travel, I buy boot laces in different colors to mix things up. The pics below show Brown, Black, and Indigo - which are hard to get good pics of. They are all CXL, and a mix of horse and steer. I don't see any difference between the two choices - they wear and feel the same, so it's not an issue for me as opposed to jackets made from horse vs steer, which can be very different.

slb1961I am wondering how these fit for a wide foot. I am a 4e but can get away with a 2e sometimes.
Thoughts?

WhichwaydidheGoCan't say. I'm a "D" but I would wager an "E" could do OK. I would guess not, but your best bet is to find a place to try them on. Good luck, I feel for you.

slb1961Just got my first pair two days ago from an online clearance site for $75. They are the limited edition mustard color Portage. Love the fit and feel and yes they run big but I didn’t have an option to size down on the clearance sale. I plan on buying every color I can find because I love the look, but I really don’t want to pay $300+ per pair. I will have to just be patient and search hard. Hopefully MD brings these back!
