Can any of you fags help me out? I'm looking for an all around boot similar in function to the Danner Logger 917. A sort of sneaker boot I suppose. I walk a lot on cement and asphalt but also walk through mud and trails. All weather, rain, snow, sun. Something can be worn in summer and winter (Northeast USA.) Waterproof/resistant as possible yet resoleable. I have a blown out knee and back so comfort is a must. A sole that has a lot of shock absorption but is tough as possible because I beat the shit out of my shoes. The Danner Logger 917 checks all of these boxes and I was ready to pull the trigger on them but I started seeing complaints about how Danner's quality has gone downhill. Aesthetically I'm looking for an all black boot, 6", lace up, preferably normal/round toe but I'm open to moc toe. I don't really want to spend more than $300. Thanks.

sizing definitely isn’t way off, just feels like the arch hits at the first arrow, when it might feel best at the second arrow.
Feels slightly fatiguing standing still on concrete but feels decent walking on grass

Baby's first "real" boot but the average city slicker will never need much more. Good leather nd construction quality, moreso factorin in the price, easy and fast break in and they do not look as clownish irl as they sometimes do on pics.
Blacksmiths are basically the same boot but without the cap toe and a slightly less stiff backstay.
Pick whichever you like the most in terms of pure looks.

They tend to use use crappy "genuine leather" that doesn't respond to conditioning and wears poorly, and bonded construction which means the soles are just glued on and cannot be replaced when they start falling off.

Leaving aside the shitty qc, I don't understand the appeal of Thursdays, mreso their most popular boots. I get thet they're affordable for a goodyear welted boot, but they look like any other maal tier trash boot. All the other brands that are discussed regularly here tend to have their own character to them, something that distinguishes them from mall boots.

I understand those points and Thursday marketing model. What I don't really understand is the other end, the consumer and from a strictly aesthetic perspective. Perhaps I didn't word my thoughs correctly.
What I mean is that Thursdays have absolutely no character nor aesthetic uniqueness to them. They look like the most basic bitch boots ever made, like the boots a brand that doesn't specialize in shoemaking would design. Say, like Pepe Jeans or Levis or some such.
I know they use that midfle of the road between a rough workboot and a dress boot as a selling point, but still, if you wanted people to pay attention to your boots, Thursdays are like the opposite of that.
What I mean is that even if they offered a lot of quality for the value, even if what they marketed was 100% true, they'd still be pretty low on my list of brands to consider because they offer next to nothing in terms of aesthetics.
Perhaps this only makes sense to me, I don't know.

Just look for terms like waffle sole, or the manufacturers Ro-Search and Genesco. These boots were made from the 60s through the 80s, so they can still be found pretty easily for 100 ish, give or take depending on condition. I'd recommend oil/conditioner even on the newer model boots because they've still been sitting around for decades in most cases. Once you do that they're very comfy and hard wearing.

I'm a sucker for chocolate roughout, so I'd go with that.

i'm thinking the tan latigo might be the move as I don't have any boots with that color, but something about the chestnut keeps me from pulling the trigger

I've worn timberland redwood falls chukkas for half a year for walks and work. They're lovely imo and I don't see any vital damage.

ID on these please? Also, should I get pic related or Blacksmith 3340? My only pairs of boots are black IRs and Beeswax CDBs, looking for variety.

Do they really? That last looks like something Thursdays would shit out. Genuinely looks like shit in the details, too.

They usually put a slip into your mailbox. If not just get a refund
