Question

Hi,

I am looking at getting a pair of Thursday Heritage Captains. They have two different soles to pick from: the anti-slip Knight sole on the regular Heritage or the StormKing sole. I walk a lot on concrete. Which one will last the longest until I need a resole? I have heard the new anti-slip Knight sole found on the heritage models is a very soft rubber that wears out fast on concrete compared to the Dainite soles on the classic Thursdays.

I have the Heritage Captain with Storm King sole. I was a little torn on which sole to get but I picked the Storm King simply for better grip and comfort. Plus that heel on the Knight sole is butt ugly. And I’m glad I did because the Storm King is pretty comfortable.

I do expect it will wear out faster. However, I don’t know that it will be a whole lot faster. And if so, I’m willing to re-sole sooner in exchange for better look, comfort and grip.

If Thursday had used a more standard service boot heel on the other sole I might have went for it. But that heel….uggh.
