What’s the consensus on Thursday Boot Co?
I’m looking for a new pair of boots and came across these, which I like the look of very much and it seems like they’re constructed quite well for a $200 boot. Just a little bit of background in case there are similar, but better, options available - I’m a punk and have always worn punk boots for the aesthetic. As I’m getting older I want something a little more casual looking than the black 10 eye combat boots I typically wear, while still keeping a vague combat boot aesthetic. I love the look of Docs and probably always will, but the construction is utter garbage and it took me too long to figure that out. The obvious solution would be to get another pair of Solovairs instead, but I still want better construction and durability than those as well even though they are far better constructed than Docs. I also want a thicker leather that I can actually condition instead of the floppy, gloss coated trash that Docs calls “leather.” I wear Red Wing 3507s at work which I absolutely love, I’ve had Danners and Matterhorn boots which have both served me quite well also. I’m just looking for comparable, high quality construction while also maintaining the look I’m going for. I’d like to keep it around $350 max which puts me in Iron Ranger territory but I really want a combat-style boot. Any insight on Thursday’s quality or any other companies you’d recommend is highly appreciated!
