The 21st Century Ruined Everything 😭
I would definitely look on the used market. I got a pair of Truman rambler boots barely used for $250. They are fantastic and easily my favorite shoes ever. Goodyear welted so resoleable if you are ever able to wear through them. Brand new they are north of $500.

I’ve had these Timberland boots for over 10 grueling New England winters, still going strong
Or Parkhurst, grant stone or Truman. More reasonably priced and really well made. Not quite as solid as those brands but those are arguably over built for most people's needs. Looks like Truman is cutting corners these days, so id recommend Parkhurst out of these three.

Boots of this style that aren’t made in China ?
I would hope that $4-500 boots would be significantly better than $2-250 boots. Grant Stone compares to Parkhurst, Oak Street, Truman and the like. There is no comparison to Thursday. It would be like saying a Lexus is better than a Hyundai. Thursday offers a good value at $200, and are far from the floor. They should be compared to Johnson and Murphy's, Allen Edmonds, modern Florsheim and the DSW brands. For the under $300 brands they amongst the better options out there. They don't offer the value of Urban Wolf Club but they are a better mass market option. The problem is they attract people that have never bought "expensive" boots before, or are coming from sneakers and have no idea what to expect. The amount of welt joints posted on the Thursday sub thinking they are a defect is incomprehensible.

Living in the US, looking for some good all round boots
Truman’s seconds: https://www.trumanboot.com/collections/seconds-sample-sale Drew’s: https://drewsboots.com/ Or wait for the next big sale. Baker’s and Truman typically have 25% off sales for major holidays.

Propper Boots, are they a BIFL?
*sigh* we get similar posts every day. Check out r/PNWbootmakers or r/goodyearwelt, they have pinned posts about most shoemakers in all price points. Nick’s, JK’s, Frank’s, Truman, Wesco, White’s, etc., for US-based bootmakers. So many more for UK-based, Australia-based, Indonesia-based, Japan-based, etc. It’s a good rabbit hole to jump into.
