Installed gas and electric utilities for 18 hours. My feet stayed warm. Began snowing. My feet stayed dry. Things became muddy. I stayed upright. Thanks.

Ezekiel Newcomb, Van Buren, AR
I worked 12-hour shifts operating a fryer. Now I work 16-hour shifts: arriving early to pump 1,200 gallons of oil into the fryer, and staying late to clean.
Week Six Winner
Matthew Varnadoe, Leavenworth, KS
I spent a day 315 ft. in the air in -6-degree weather. It took 16 straight hours. Three guys quit that day, but my Thermoforce boots and I made it through.
Week Five Winner
Julya Vekstein, Bethesda, MD
I built a house for a Nicaraguan woman and her 3 granddaughters. For 10 days we worked in sweltering heat, inspired by those 3 little girls.
Week Four Winner
Scott R. Sagarra, Clayton, NC
I work six days a week. 75 hours on my feet, fixing airplanes and cars. I need a good pair of comfortable boots to get me through my days.
Week Three Winner
Jesse Angier, Bristol, VT
I work long days in a steel fabrication shop. One day a 1000-lbs. sheet of steel fell onto my steel-toed Tims. No harm done. Thanks from my foot.
Week Two Winner
Bill Baxendale, Belle Fourche, SD
I work for a bentonite mine. When bentonite is dry, it sucks the life from your boots. When it’s wet, it’s as slippery as ice. Makes for a long day.
Week One Winner
Ghassan Majdalani, Los Angeles, CA
I carried 1,700 square feet of marble tiles by hand after a condo association banned my pallet jack. A one-hour job took a grueling eight hours.
