I think you are right, I think they just should be more accurate with their portrayal/marketing. Don't call them boots, call them high-top loafers.

Do you have other boots already? I would recommend full lace up over chukka.
I think brand-wise, it sounds like JCrew Kenton boots (which go on big sales all the time) are probably a better value than the Thursday ones, although I think it's a bit of a crapshoot as well.

you GOTTA mix it up !!
also if you like wearing brown boots (imo better looking than black boots for most people and almost all occasions, unless you are a heavy metal / goth vibe), i would just get a tall brown boot in a slightly different shade

never owned any myself, but my understanding is that if you want to drop some real coin that Raleigh Denim is pretty good

I've said this on at least one other thread, but Rag and Bone are the best I've had (and I've had a lot).

Good suggestions -- I just realized my main issue is I hate having a button fly (that's been my issue with Unbranded). Will check out these other recos.

i think button flys are gonna be a thing on any nicer raw denim tbh, static zippers + fabric that stretches/shrinks not a good combo, also get a lot more of that "jean boner" action going on w/ them (zippers) as a result

Jeans are a nightmare for me. I was just a levi's guy for years, but find they don't wear well and i get a crotch tear pretty quick.
Lately I've been on the Macy's house brand. I am almost NEVER a store label guy...but bought some in a pinch and damn if they don't fit great.

I have a pair of japan blues that I like significantly more than the unbranded pair I had before, but they were only $135 back in 2017. Looks like similar pairs are ~250 now, and I don't think I would pay that. Plus now I'm so old I want everything to have stretch anyway.
Heritage 34 for jeans.
