I wore my Captain boot yesterday for thee first time and they are incredibly comfortable and I loved it. I'd recommend them especially if you want a boot that looks professional. Way better than a Clark or something along those lines. Make sure you go down half a size from your normal shoe size.

We have no idea as worth is a metric comprised of exposing your financial records to the internet + exposing your emotions on this matter to the internet. I just spent $1000 on used seats for my 20 year old car....worth it? If you want to see my tax records and have an hour long conversation, I'll gladly share if you message me.

Any boots that can be recrafted are BIFL as that's the standard. Most Thursday offerings meet this.

Worth is a YOU question.

If you want good dressy boots on a budget, they're worth it. Good work boots on a similar budget are Thorogoods...

Jim Green is a very good brand to consider too. Simpler and goofy compared to the Thursdays, but cheaper and very comfortable and meant as real work boots (like, no fake toe caps on Jim Greens, while on Thursdays they're just for the style...)

They’re probably the best option if you don’t want to pay $500 for a true lifelong boot manufactured to an artisanal level. I’ve had my pair about a year and they’ve broken in well, and I’m very happy with the leather’s patina even over that short time. They’re also about as cheap as goodyear welted boots come. It’s just a question of budget.

Anvil Rose (YouTuber who cuts boots in half to assess the construction) did a video on their chukka. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2tWoUbBGHK0

I was stoked to get a pair, went to their nearest location, and stood in the store for 20 minutes trying to talk to a salesperson before giving up and leaving. Not sure if it was just that location, or just that day, but their operations were so poorly run it makes me question the rest of company enough to not want the boots anymore.

I've had mine a couple years and am still very happy with them. Not an expert but the leather and construction seem to be high quality. They've broken in well and they've held up far better than most other boots I've owned. Worth the price in my opinion.

It doesn’t. I dose products with small wooden spatulas. They come in packs of 200+ so I never have to worry about losing them or poor sanitation from dipping my fingers into the jar. I use solid perfume, and reuse well-traveling spray bottles from other products for loose liquids like hairspray, essence, and setting spray.
