It’s interesting that I think they look so much better in the pics on foot than I do with you just holding them lol. Thanks for the update, I like this style of video.
I’ve definitely thought about it! The one struggle is how much it changes…there’s a core for sure, but some that just never get worn I’ll often sell to fund purchases for other videos and items. I should do a video on the collection and why I’ve kept the ones I have!
Yep, it’s a bit complicated because they are still Goodyear welted (midsole is attached to the welt then the outsole is cemented to the midsole, like a wedge sole is). Still easily resoleable 👍
Interested in the waxed roughout because it is unlined...does this let the boots run a little cooler/breathe better? Does the heavy wax finish block air flow? Thank you for the review.
How do these lugs feel underfoot compared to the studded outsoles? I find Danite and similar to be too hard underfoot for me (I'm on concrete or tile floor much of the day when I am not at my desk). Those studded soles are thin, hard and not very flexible, lol. Not that my 430s are any better. I'm just trying to decide if I should check out these lugs or go for a Diplomat with the wedge sole next.
My personal experience is that Thursday studded sole is way more comfortable underfoot than Dainite, and the stormking is even more comfortable underfoot. I can be on my feet all day in the storm king no problem. I actually find the storm king better for comfort than the wedge sole, that’s just my experience. Hope that helps!
Yep, they’re water resistant for things like rainy weather, puddles that aren’t too deep (the tongue is not gusseted so water will get in if it’s deeper than the lace area. I’ve crossed through some streams on my hikes and been totally fine 👍
Just ordered these today through Thursdays " Warehouse" option. They're on sale for $ 149.00. I'm excited to get them.
@@markmullen1852 that’s a steal!
That Coyote Roughout looks nice! I hope they make more designs with that leather.
I hope so too!
It really does. 👍

It’s a really hard colour to capture! I wasn’t sure how I felt about the uniform colour of outsole and boot but it works great with an outfit!
I love this type of leather upper. They should make their Diplomat moc toes in these. I can’t wait for your 6 months update on these.
I hope they do more in this leather!
Very nice looking boots! I’m strongly considering purchasing a pair of Thursdays Diplomats.
Good choice! I just got a pair in black, little bit snug but breaking in nicely!
Have you considered doing a boot collection video? I know you’re a busy guy and those things take a lot of time and effort but it’d be interesting.

@@bootsjeansandtheoddwatch I think that'd still be some good inside baseball; what you keep, what you sell and why.
is the storm king outsole glued on? i read somewhere it was glued on

I find them more breathable than a lined boot and also more comfortable, especially when I wear boots in the summer!

@@bootsjeansandtheoddwatch Thank you, I think I'll give the storm king a go.
@@bootsjeansandtheoddwatch how is the heel shock absorption??? I have captain the classic one and the sock absorption is bad
@@watchmanexpert personally I find the stormking to be better for shock absorption/comfort underfoot
Are they waterproof at all
