I have thursday sneakers. They're great! They do require a bit of a break-in period.

With thursdays you get a lot for the money, the boots will serve you many years. But it's a good idea to not wear them every day, as with any shoe they last even longer if they have the time to properly dry off.

I like boots and try different brands. Just recently I got some Jim Green chukka shoes and am very satisfied with them. Amazing value shoes... Considering ordering their chelsea style too, but the african ranger is so cool as well. I like how wide their last is.
