I have had a pair in the past and feel as if they were not worth the value. The creases around the toe box eventually turned to tiny tears. The sole near the front end of the boot started to separate. And this was within 3 months. I used the boots for serving and although fashionable, weren't very durable. My solovairs have held up for years and still almost look the same.
Was a little confused what "RT3 Last" meant on the Captain or President, so did some quick digging. Apparently this is the specific foot shape mold they used sometime around June 2022 ~ Aug 2023 to improve comfort on wider feet, but gave the shoe a more bulbous toe look.
Short story is many ppl didn't like the look compared to the original more pointed shape called "True Last", which were a bit narrow for some, so the newest "Kingmaker Last" solves the issue by being wider while keeping the pointier look.
Thursday has a page on all of their Lasts: https://thursdayboots.com/pages/mens-last-guide, which even says themselves "Although not the most aesthetically pleasing, the RT3 is widely considered a well-fitting last great for long days on your feet."
Google "RT3 vs Kingmaker" for some comparison pics. Honestly, it's pretty minor difference and really all down to personal preference. Just beware what you're getting since the Warehouse Sale listings don't seem to use accurate pictures, and it's no return/final sale.
How dare they make boors for fashion and not work!

No boots here - no safety toes, no slip-resistant soles, not waterproof, don't meet ASTM safety standards. Just overpriced accessories for people who want to play dress up.

I ordered 3 different pairs as a gift from my lady on Amazon all same size. All were different lengths, toe box were not proportioned, quality of leather had many black defects heel thickness were different, soles were not the same thickness. No quality control. Returned them all, might have to go a tier higher $300-500 to find something to my standard.

Question is...why are you buying gifts for yourself and pretending it's coming from someone else?

I have two pairs from several years ago. They're pretty cheaply made. I can't speak about the more recent ones, but I don't think they're worth the price (or sale price).

Bruh, are you serious? Boots are not only for work! Get a job and see real men wearing casual non-WORK boots.
