  • In this video, I'm breaking down the differences between the standard Thursday Boots Captain and the Thursday Captain Storm King.

    Both versions of the Thursday Boots Captain you see in this video are made with Thursday's own Rugged & Resilient leather. The standard Captain is in Arizona Adobe, and the Storm King is in Tobacco leather.
    The regular Captain and Storm King are built on the same last, feature the same 360-degree Goodyear welt, and there are similar leather options between the two. Besides the higher profile you get with the Storm King, it’s not necessarily more water resistant to the regular Captain.
    But there are a few subtle differences you'll want to know about before choosing which one is best for you.

    I have both. I have the black matte captain in the standard and they’re comfortable but they do tire my feet more. In the storm king sole I have the captain whiskey color that is chrome leather and those are more comfortable. I use them for work. I just recently got the black matte Chelsea with the storm king and I wear them every day now. Super comfortable

      I usually wear my storm kings everywhere I go. But if you plan on walking a lot, at least a couple miles exploring a city for example, they aren't the boots to do it in. Wear comfy sneakers.

  • @steveb2618
    @steveb2618 6 місяців тому

    You mentioned that one is the rugged and resilient, and one is stormking. And you’re right there aren’t many differences, but it is worth noting that the classic captains use the encore last, and these two use the kingmaker. They don’t fit the same. They are both fine, but I prefer the encore for sure.

    Very nice boots and interesting video.
    I prefer the design of normal sole but in an other review you do, the shoe seems to be very flexible.
    Due to hallux rigidus , less the shoe is flexible better is it. I believe that Stormking should be more rigid... Do you confirm that asumption or even with Stormking it's very flexible ?
    Best and thanks for the review !

    • @BootSpy
      @BootSpy  2 роки тому +10

      I'm an affiliate with Thursday and have that disclosed at the bottom of the video notes, so for anyone that clicks the link I provide and buys, I earn a small commission from Thursday. I'm not paid directly by Thursday to do any of these reviews, nor do they get to look at or make suggestions on any of the content I put out regarding their brand. Just to be as transparent as possible, I'm an affiliate with just about every boot brand you'll see on this channel---even the ones I dislike and give negative reviews. Being an affiliate for various brands doesn't change my opinion on any brand, and I believe that honesty and earning your trust is more important than any sales for any brand. But having the affiliate relationship does allow me to earn enough to buy more boots from different brands and create honest review videos for you! I hope this answers your question and makes sense!

I just wanted to get clarity as I see on a couple of forums people saying "you can't trust boot reviewers to give objective opinions as they are all paid shills" but I watch Bootspy and Stridewise and find them very detailed and objective overviews and would be disappointed if your views did not reflect your genuine and unbiased opinions. To me I get the impression that you guys really just like the overall value and performance of Thursday boots.
