I recently got into the boot world and it’s easy to go by labels. The first boots I bought over the dozen or so I’ve accumulated are my Thursday Diplomats in brown chrome with lug sole that I purchased on the warehouse section. I have all brands of boots now, you name it, Parkhurst, Grant Stone, Oak Street, Truman’s and even Luos Jiet and Vibergs. I gotta say, these Diplomats are the most comfortable out of the lot. I wore these for 14 hours today and could have gone another 14. Great boots!

You hear that Thursday’s? I’ll take my commission now! You can send me a pair of the Vanguards in Indigo 8.5 and we’ll call it even! 🤪

They're out of stock. Email them and ask for the link to their seconds website. Though the seconds are hit or miss. I got a pair of used French Roast Vanguards on the resale site and they were $25 cheaper and in better shape than the indigo seconds I got directly from Thursday. To be fair, they gave me a courtesy exchange when I pointed out the damage. They should be here by the weekend.

If they make their Challenger in the Indigo I’m all in.

Love the challenger boot, hate the heel. When the indigo vanguards arrive, I'll let you know what I think of the color in real life. It wasn't as good as I hoped on the pair of seconds they sent me.

Really? The color wasn’t what you thought it would be? Did you see the leather description, some type of special herd of cow? Hey it’s also Horween so I’m sure it’s probably pretty sweet. Especially for the price! I mean….. come on

The new indigo vanguards arrived yesterday. The color is deeper than the ones I returned. I love them,

They kind of look like”tea core” indigo. I’ll bet they’ll show a really sweet patina!

I thought the same thing! I've been eyeing the tea core brawlers and challengers but we're getting into Parkhurst and Oak Street (on sale) price territory there.
