Thursday bucked the industry real hard when they came onto the scene in 2014 with Goodyear welted boots for under $200, so it's no surprise they'd eventually venture into the mythical world of western boots. They currently sell three models but the Desperado is their top seller and it ticks all the boxes guys want from this kind of footwear: a tall shaft, resoleable construction, ornamental stitching, a squared off toe, all with a sneaky shock absorbing footbed for comfort. Tim Steiner did this review on his pair, behold!!!

I’m a Texan, and I like Thursday’s other offerings. I’m not sure if I’d pull the trigger on the Desperados. Good on them for making this style of boot for people that might not wear cowboy boots otherwise. Tim is cute with the axe and chainsaw cosplay 😂
Ok, owned mine for a year and they were my go-to in Arizona that whole time. I put them on in the morning and took them off at night to go to bed. I've worn them on the ranch, although they weren't my first choice because I had a pair of Dan Post storm series that were more built for ranch work. I did use these horseback riding though. The sole is plenty grippy. Speaking of the sole, I had an issue with the edge coming unglued about a month in. Thursday sent me a completely new pair of replacements! They've been just fine. The smooth leather upper means I don't always wear boot socks, especially on the hotter days. Now I'm back home in NC and same thing. I'm doing yard work, gardening, turning wrenches, and they're just my daily go-to boot. They look stylish and are comfortable. They're not heavy and clunky. Still plenty of rubber left on the sole. The leather is in great condition. Because they do get beat up I have taken regular care of them with brushing and every other month conditioning them with Bick 4 distressed conditioner. I've saddle soaped em once. Brown polish along the sole edges to dress 'em back up. Oh, and I own them in their Arizona Adobe. It's just the best looking brown boot going. I'll buy them again but probably won't have to as you can get them resoled. Those flat black ones are calling my name though.
I have a pair of Thursday Desperados and they’re very nice!
It’s my first pair of cowboy boots, I’m admittedly not a purist. But they’re very comfortable and I’m happy with them.
Yeah the foam insole differentiates it from most!
I love the Thursday brand! I have the captains and Duke. Can't wait to grab the Desperados in Arizona Adobe!
Decent review! The Desperado is my first (and likely only) foray into cowboy boots, as they're a bit of a statement for an Englishman, but I like how well they can be 'hidden', which means I have found them easy to wear without being too self conscious of looking like a cowboy-cosplayer! I've found them to be pretty comfortable once they broke in to walk in all day, but probably wouldn't use them to work in because they do run pretty hot. Great content as ever Nick!
(I was also influenced by the RA vid on the boots which definitely convinced me to go for them!)
You are a cowboy cos player.
Great looking boot. Tim was great, too. Very professional. 😁👍
Thank you!
Still debating whether I can pull off western boots. I had the same reservations about engineer boots, but they worked out well.
I think for someone like me- although growing up wearing boots in Texas, I now live in Florida and do not really need my boots to withstand much abuse anymore. So that being said, I am interested in trying a pair of these desperados. Wish the insole was removable.
Yeah a permanent insole is a weird choice on a boot that aims to be resolable
I bought these boots but I couldn't get them on passed the heel.I did size down, idk if the boot is to narrow or I just need to go a size up. I have the captain boots and those fit perfect when I sized down. Should I go a size up?
The script for this video reads more like a marketing copy than a review.
Tim kinda just has a lyrical way of speaking
Yea that’s how it felt to me
I’m taking this as a compliment.
I don’t wear cowboy boots, but even if I did, I really don’t like the look of those boots.
@@AJ-by6pdthe light colored ones look rly good imo.
Tim Steiner always does excellent reviews.
Thank you!
He has a unique perspective and phraseology, it's great fun to read/hear his writing
@@Stridewise Thanks Man!
Love boots but not too big on the box toe. If they do a classic round toe and at this price it would make for some fine daily westerns I would happily snag up.
You've reviewed all sorts of boots Nick, is it finally time you're heading West? If so, you should probably try out Tecovas next or Tony Lamas since they're in the same price range.
Got a Tecovas one here actually! th-cam.com/video/KFxlAOD1k4E/w-d-xo.html good call on tony lamas
I quite like Thursday Boot company, but I'm unsure why you would choose them over the inexpensive offerings from western companies. And the fact that they, as western boots, don't come in wide sizing is astonishing.
I think not coming in wide is pretty normal when it's a new brand, or new last/design. They probably will in the future. What are some comparable western boot brands you'd suggest at this price?
B3cause he has a profitable 📈 relationship with Thursday company already 😅
@@Stridewise I'd say Dan Post and Ariat, though Ariat is overseas production of course. Still excellent quality boots.
Thing is... Western Boots always come in a wide option. That's part of what makes them cowboy boots. It's an odd oversight.
Please do a review on some Visvim boots. The designs of their boots are like no other company (Grizzlys, 7 Hole, T.W.O)
Go to Japan.
“Lived on the east coast your entire life.” This is like getting a Maine lobster roll comparison from a guy from Oklahoma. Cowboy boot review for the Thursday night pub crawl crowd.
What boot is this?
Now that I’m seeing a cowboy boot being reviewed, I have hope you’ll cover an engineer boot one of these days
What's the most popular engineer boot? Are there any that aren't like hard to find Japanese ones?
Do a review on Visvim boots
@@StridewiseWesco makes a very good one. Whites and Nicks as well. Wesco Boss are the definitive version however.
Please use proper PPE when working with a chainsaw. It can get really ugly really quick. Maybe review some chainsaw boots while you're at it. Pfanner in Austria makes some in stitchdown construction.
Their leather and boot is nice quality but I returned a pair. They replaced them because that rubbery day nite tread gets nicked easily and chunks come off. My replacement pair did the same. They're comfortable but I would not buy these for serious work.
Oh that's too bad, Tim didn't experience that! Sorry to hear
So... poetic
I don't get the cringe comments from some viewers here talking bad about these boots and Thursday Boot Co. When you're ready for a pair of Western Boots you're gonna be glad TBC makes these boots and their price and quality. You guys are missing out. I have the Arizona Adobe and Old Town. I get continuous compliments on them. You got to give them a chance and know how to wear them and it's not that hard to put a fit using these boots together. Try Levis 505, 501 or 562 Regular Straight with Western shirt or Denim style or Polo shirt.
They're just fanboys who think they know something about a boot they probably haven't even touched.
My brother in crust... I've lived in New Mexico my entire life... you have not broken in those boots yet...
Looking for a good quality Western style boot for casual wear and for hunting and fishing. Boots that'll stand up to use and weather with a little care, and a boot that'll fend off a Copperhead bite. I won't be working them to death, i have dedicated work boots, but like i said i just want some decent nice looking real leather traditionally made Western boots that'll last me a long time with some care, and that can stand up to being worn in the woods and occasional splashes in creeks and mud holes. Anybody got any input on these? My budget is $250 U.S.
No such boot. No boot is snakebite proof unless stated and then those go for big dollars. Get a pair of Nacona basic leather and they will last for a long time.
I like how he says he likes classic working cowboy boots, but then describes ropers instead of buckaroos.
I grew up wearing rompers and many of the cowboys in my hometown wear them and have for years. Buckeroos aren’t really worn. Have you even ridden a horse, worked cattle, driven a tractor?
@Kingfisher1215 those were designed in the 1950s, roughly 200 hundred years after the American cowboy became a thing. That is by definition not traditional. Not even close lol. Maybe next horse you ride you should make sure is a historian.
I ordered the desperado boots and the quality control was the absolute worse. The white stitching had black paint on it. There was no way they should have allowed that to be sold. I ordered a second pair and it was even worse. Black paint again and the side of the sole was not painted all the way around. About a two inch gap in the front that was a lighter color than fhe rest. Then under the middle part where the stiching ended the layers were exposed and none of the sides looked the same. One had a weird glue like substance the other was missing. Im sorry if my explanations dont paint the best picture. Returning both. Also the company has no way of calling them. Emails take a day per reply. They have a text messaging service that also takes a day and they are of no help. Zero customer service.
Is this sponsored?
No, even I had zero input on this script, Tim just took to writing
People in the comments can talk smack about Thursday Boot Co all they want. The truth is that they make awesome boots for an awesome price. I own many of their boots and I am VERY happy with all of those purchases. I would love to try out their flight jacket too, but that is still a bit out of my price range.
I don't wear jeans wide enough for this style, so I look pretty goofy if I put them on. I do own a pair of Ariat cowboy boots which are also very good quality and comfy. I bet these Thursday ones are even better than those (quality wise).
My absolute favorite boot from Thursday is the Logger boot. Most comfy boot I've ever worn (once broken in). And the rough out Horween leather on them is superb. The only complaint I have is that the rubber heel on the bottom is too thin, but after looking at them again on their website, it seems they have fixed this issue with a thicker lugged rubber heel (underneath the leather heel stack anyway). Wish mine had that. But hey, a quick stop at the cobbler will make it all right again.
Also love my Captains with both of the outsoles they offer. Thursday is an awesome boot company and I look forward to seeing even more boot options from them in the future. Great video!
I bought the Thursday flight jacket in coffee, it almost fits like it was tailored. It's warm enough for early winter, with just enough room to add a layer. Good quality for the price.
I have the Schott racer, but I'm still considering getting a Thursday racer in a different color. The hero, jodhpurs, and high top sneakers all fit me like a glove. I don't get why people hate on this company. Sure, most of of their stuff is made in Mexico, but they have good ethics.
@@tacticalsweater5119 they do indeed. Also why I have two pairs (so far) of jim greens? I would love to try the Thursday jackets someday! Speaking of made in mexico, i also really want to get some Cordobes at some point.
Wearing cowboy boots in the snow. Come on guys...
I wore mine year around including in the snow, usually ones with a v track type sole or similar. Why, what’s your issue with wearing boots in the snow? What do you wear in the snow?
Not sure cowboy boots are for me. Where I live cowboy boots say "I'm going line dancing" rather than "rugged outdoorsy guy with a chainsaw".
Plenty of dudes work in cowboy boots but it's for sure a big stylistic choice
First.
You made it dude!
I've been a huge fan of the Hemingway Jones channel for a while. This felt like a horrible fit for both of you. I love hearing Tim talk about pens, but not so much with western boots.
WTF was he doing to that stump though?
Even TH-camrs are outsourcing
I don't like it. Don't know this lad. YT is more personal. You can't just put a rando in there, and expect the viewers to stick around.
I like having different voices/perspectives and more than that, the stuff I look at is all about durability so it's hard to test all of it to a suitable degree, so sometimes I get smart friends to share their thoughts on stuff I could buy new but probably wouldn't be able to give enough wear to properly review!
Women wearing cowboy boots in NYC is cute. Guys look like they came from the rodeo.
I'm not a big cowboy boot wearer but I would love to wear a stetson hat with impunity
@Stridewise Me too! I just bought an Open Road 6X in fawn. It's pretty great, and I'm looking forward to wearing it in the fall. I feel like it's close enough to a fedora.
@@davidpalmer9014 I guess if you can get away with a stetson in anywhere north of the mason dixon it's Manhattan but still, here it's still a statement piece and i want it to just be a normal way to keep sun out of your face haha
@Stridewise Well this is my life on the cutting edge of fashion
Cowboy boots from a group of New Yorkers?? No thanks.
this is filmed in Tim's home in rural massachusetts, pay attention!
they called desperado cause you hafta be desperate to cop turdsdays 😂
Turdsdays, nice
Mad because you can't afford.
@@tacticalsweater5119 turdsday fan detected
He does NOT run a chainsaw. Real people that use chainsaws run them so hard that you CAN’T read the name on the bar. He is a poser, wannabe Paul Bunyan!!😂😂😂😂
I don't see how a person who uses a chainsaw isn't a real person that uses a chainsaw
