Maybe I'll still pony up for the TBC Captain. The positive reviews really dominate Amazon. What size did you go with? I'm a 9 in my Red Wings, but a 9.5 in J Crew. I'm usually a 10.5 in normal kicks.
Also, I wouldn't make speed hooks a requirement here. 99% of the time you can add them later .

Long time lurker here. I've often considered adding my thoughts on various topics and finally decided to dive in.
I've been a Thursday Boot customer for over two years. I first purchased the President boot in dark brown and the Captains boot in Natural. Since then I have added various other boots and even purchased a few things for my wife. I can only speak for my experiences, but I have had zero quality control issues with TBC. I don't go hiking in them, but I wear them for pretty much everything daily wear can throw at them. I find them extremely comfortable and I love the slim profile. Maybe I am lucky, but I haven't had one problem with any of the boots I have purchased and I wear them all the time. Further, my wife loves how I look in them which is a very good thing.
One other thing I like very much about the boots is that any minor scuffs and scratches are easily buffed out. I haven't yet had to polish them. I just use some leather balm and a soft cloth. Anyway, they are boots and I personally like the character they develop over time.
I hope this is helpful. Just wanted to chime in with some first hand experience.

I have had the French Roast Vanguards in my cart for like 4 weeks and still have not pulled the trigger. I have a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile Cap toes, and I know they are probably a little bit better quality than the Thursday, but the Wolverines are just clunky and heavy in my opinion. Why am I so cheap?!?!

I feel conflicted about TBC. I have a pair of their chukkas, which I think look really great and were a good price, but they aren't especially comfortable to wear. The insole, as mentioned before, is oddly squeaky and offers little support. I love the rest of the boot, though. Is the insole for the Scout considerably different than their other boots?

I find the TBC scout boots to be very comfortable. If they squeak I haven't noticed that in mine. As for the insole, it seems to be similar to the other boots I have from them. Personally, I think they are a much better boot than Clarks. I do find what they say is true that they get more comfortable as you wear them and the cork bed midsole conforms to your feet.
Comfort in a shoe or boot is relative. What one person find comfortable, another may not. The feel of a pair of Chucks is a good example. Some love them, other don't. I suppose it's all about finding what works for you.

How about the wolverine 1k in navy suede for $145, use save15 for 15% off, which brings it down to $123 plus taxes.

Though sometimes overlooked in favor of the popular Indy, Alden makes some boots very suitable for office wear. Here's one, for example:

If you are very patient and diligent, you can sometimes find Aldens on sale for at least a couple of hundred off list.

I dress business casual for work, and my boot of choice for the colder months is the Crockett & Jones Islay. They are very versatile and good looking!
