I'd be interested in hearing how they hold up because I've seen them advertised but do not have any stores nearby where I can try them on.
I'll keep you in mind. They do offer free returns for a different size, but its always best to get it right on the 1st try.
Most reviews online for them are like reviews for most products, made within days of receiving the product.
I've seen some long-term reviews on YouTube that are very conflicting. One claims his pair have lasted 4 years with little maintenance and practically abusing them. The reviewer runs a large-scale Boot Review channel, and I suspect he's a mouthpiece for the manufacturers.
And these guys are doing a review for their pairs after wearing them a year. Just 1 year. Its somewhat concerning that one of them had their pair fall apart only after wearing them a few months, and both of their pairs look 'meh' after a year and even the new replacement pair a few months old looks.... meh.
So, although Thursday Boots is marketed as the best boots ever that look and feel great and will last forever no matter what you do in them.... my suspicion is its best to use them as everyday urban boots for style, but it wouldn't be the best decision to go hiking in them or use them as work boots.
I would normally avoid an expensive product that I detect some fuckery in their marketing & reviews. But I'm giving these $200 boots a shot rather first before going up to the $300, $400, or $500+ brands.
