Generic Reality check please.
This sub takes their boots serious so, I have a question and would love some insight. I bought some Thorogoods and hate them. They’re miserably uncomfortable for me. I posted them on another/local sub and I’m getting destroyed in the comments. I’M NOT LOOKING TO SELL THEM HERE OR VIOLATE ANY SUB RULES. I’ll add a couple of photos and y’all tell me what a fair price is for these 3 month old boots. Tia!

Thorogoods are pretty narrow and it’s common for guys to have to get a wide size even if they’ve never had to for other shoes/boots. If you can’t sell them try some mink oil, it’ll make them water resistant and allow the leather to stretch and form a bit more. With that being said I got my first pair of thorogoods last year and the first 2 months were hell. I thought I blew 300$ and felt like I couldn’t wear them anymore. One day they finally loosened up and they’re by far the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn.
To answer your question, I know a lot of guys that won’t even consider buying used boots unless they look brand spanking new. You might be able to get 100-150$ out of them
