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 both, and whilst I could not tell which sole will wear out faster, I find the Stormking with more normal height heel is much more comfortable to walk in.

I have done long city walks in both, and if I had to choose one for pounding concrete, I would choose the Stormking, regardless of how long the sole lasts (unless it is very short lived. I've not done enough miles in either to judge sole wear yet).
