Thursday CAPTAIN vs STORM KING | What's the Difference? | BootSpy

In this video, I'm breaking down the differences between the standard Thursday Boots Captain and the Thursday Captain Storm King.

Both versions of the Thursday Boots Captain you see in this video are made with Thursday's own Rugged & Resilient leather. The standard Captain is in Arizona Adobe, and the Storm King is in Tobacco leather.

The regular Captain and Storm King are built on the same last, feature the same 360-degree Goodyear welt, and there are similar leather options between the two. Besides the higher profile you get with the Storm King, it’s not necessarily more water resistant to the regular Captain.

But there are a few subtle differences you'll want to know about before choosing which one is best for you.

I have both. I have the black matte captain in the standard and they’re comfortable but they do tire my feet more. In the storm king sole I have the captain whiskey color that is chrome leather and those are more comfortable. I use them for work. I just recently got the black matte Chelsea with the storm king and I wear them every day now. Super comfortable

Placed my order for the Storm King yesterday. I'm a wide size so tobacco was the only option but it's a great colour.

I first got a storm king version, and it just felt and looked clunky on my foot. Returned for a R&R Captain in the matte black, and it looks and feels so much sleeker.

I always find your channel informative, but I really would have appreciated some insight into how they perform on ice and snow. I was never able to find many people who have actually tested that.

I have both. I weighed them both and surprisingly the normal sole was heavier by a little. Stormking is definitely better suited for winter.

[derekthebarbaric]

I noticed the Stormking sole is only glued on, not stitched. Is this a concern for longevity or for resoling?

[steveb]

You mentioned that one is the rugged and resilient, and one is stormking. And you’re right there aren’t many differences, but it is worth noting that the classic captains use the encore last, and these two use the kingmaker. They don’t fit the same. They are both fine, but I prefer the encore for sure.

Love your channel. Thursday rugged leather is one of my favorite leathers.

Thank you for doing a thorough review on the soles. Was kinda on the fence getting regular soles vs stormking soles.

How did you get your Tobacco Captains so dark?

[fishNboots]

Great video! Love how much information is here

2 years later and the storm kings have color options that the standard doesn't. I was forced to go with stormking because I wanted the matte grey. (Just now saw the Majors have distressed grey and I would have with with those instead)

[dustinhamlin]

I just can't decide between the black matte and the gray matte. At first I had my heart set on the explorer but ik how picky I am, so I'm not sure I'm gonna enjoy my shoe being that far up leg.

[helvey]

Is the tobacco color always so dark? It doesn't look as dark on their website and I was thinking about getting that color.

[davidcheng]

Big fan! Started buying boots because of your videos. Got to ask, what Etat Libre d'Orange is up on your shelf?

[gmblunder]

I got the Captains after watching your reviews and RoseAnvil's! What's that great jacket though?

[jamesshall]

Hey, what jacket are you wearing? TY in advance!

[TheRealREDracing]

Are these good for really cold weather?
