Thorogood boots are recommended as an alternative to Brunt and described as great for shop use. While there is no strong positive statement, they are suggested as a good option.

I would never pay. If you’ve ever seen them cut in half (you can find it on YouTube), you’d know they severely cut corners now. Their construction is not what it used to be, especially for the price, so you might as well go with Thursday or Jim Green and save yourself the money for similar (in most cases *actually better*) construction.
