My captains were just delivered. This is my first pair of pointed toe boots, so I don't really know how much room their should be between the end of my big toe and the front of the boot. With most shoes I've had, I consider between an index finger and a thumb width to be normal. In these I have nearly a thumb AND index finger's room. These are size 13. I usually wear 14 tennies, and 13 boots. Do I need to size down? Thanks.
Hey! Great video :) Thanks so much for sharing your feedback we truly appreciate all your support and we're so glad that you love the Captains. It's one of our favorites as well!
For the most part I love the design and comfort of these boots but may I suggest taking the heel down about half its size? The high heel looks a bit feminine. A lower heel would be more masculine and rugged but it would still maintain its dressy quality.
Thursday Boot Company .....just ordered my first pair of Thursday boots....the olive suede chukka....really looking forward to getting them. Based on what I keep hearing about these boots on quality, I may very well be ordering the captains soon after. 😄
@@AdonisBorn1 Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely looking for suggestions. I will be sure to share with the production team. Also, feel free to reach out to us founders@thursdayboots.com if you have any other suggestions or questions!
I’ve put my pair of Thursday’s through two years of hard wear (and I mean hiking, backpacking, all over the continental USA, as well as regular wear) and they are honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made. It’s sad to hear from the comments that others haven’t had the same experience, but in my personal use, they’ve exceeded my expectations. 1) Gorgeous, tough leather, 2) Easy to maintain (two years + regular conditioning and polishing and they’re still in amazing shape), 3) Comfortable as all heck, 4) Age beautifully (Trust me, after two years, they look better than they did when I first got them), 5) Amazing price. All in all, essentially a perfect all around boot for the price! PS. Great video, great channel!
Stridewise I give them a quick layer of polish whenever they’re looking a little worn and I fully condition them with Saphir Renovateur about once every 2 months.
+Nhat Tran. They are awesome. When I was hiking, I used mine to stomp a grass fire out and they were undamaged Only the laces caught alight and I just rubbed them out against the back of the leg of my jeans before they burnt through.
Thank you, this and your comparison videos really saved me from buying Red Wings and Wolverines, which I initially wanted for years. I definitely need something like the Captain, because of my delicate feet haha.
Im honestly stumped by the negative reviews thursdays get. I have 3 pairs and am pondering ordering a pair of presidents. My Captains are perfect going on a year, and while the internet may not believe me, I actually prefer the thursday desert boots to my allen edmonds dessert boots (im looking at you r/goodyearwelt). I've had zero quality control issues, they've worn well, and having a big wide foot its hard to find a pair thats just right. Whatever last Thursday uses is great for us wide footed few.
Right? They're really great. As I mentioned in the video, their first line of boots that came out after the kickstarter had a couple of issues but they have gone through many many (many) iterations since then, they're a different product now but a lot of the reviews that surface on reddit were from people who had the first run. I'm pumped to get a pair of Presidents myself, Josh, I'm thinking the Tobacco color. How about you?
I am really tempted by the natural, but Ive gotta go black, I have enough brown boots but my sons german sheperd puppy ate my only pair of black boots, and since I cant justify shelling out for a replacement pair of RM williams right now I am looking for a cost efficient alternative, another reason I like these boots, bang for the buck.
Haha yeah the President boots in black would be pretty versatile, are you planning on wearing them with a suit? I'm always curious as to if people work Thursday into a suit.
Im going to give it a shot and see how it looks, as I do wear suits for work. however I have a belief that if you arent clerking for the supreme court or entertaining the queen, you have 2 chances as a dude to stamp some personality on your ensemble, your watch and your footwear. SO if you break the "rules" of fashion there, but just a little you look better and stand out. so I like playing it fast and loose with those most of the time.
Thank you so much for making this video! I finally bought the Captain boots, and I can't stop smiling when I wear them. One weird thing I didn't expect is how amazing they smell lol I also love that they're handmade in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, Greatest leather shoe city in the world :D
@Rex Erection I've had mine since early December, but if I were you and your shoes are unworn, definitely return for one size up, if you find they're too big you can always switch back. I'm gonna get leather conditioner soon and I've heard that helps a little with softening the leather. Saludos, it's a beautiful city!
A lot of bad reviews on Amazon with photos. Scratches and scuffs, boots deforming, nails sticking in the heel, cheap insole, lace grommets falling out, laces too long and awkward in the holes, eyelets badly scratching the tongue, dark soles upper scuffing badly, soles tearing etc. Poor customer service. Buyer beware.
I bought the Captain Arizona Adobe for my husband about 10 months ago and he really likes them, but they're not very durable like Thursday Boots said they would be. He used to wear them them about 3 times a week, up until the point when the stitching on the outsole started wasting away (about 4-5 months into having them). He works inside a building so it's not like they would've wasted away from rough terrain. Also, the outsole and midsole are splitting apart in the front and the sides. While some wear and tear is expected, he didn't expect that much wearing down so soon. He still really likes these boots and will be taking them to a cobbler, these are just some things to keep in mind if you decide to purchase from Thursday Boots.
Great review my good man! I first heard of Thursday Boot on Barstool sports. I believe it was the Kirk Minihaine podcast. Hilarious show by the way but I digress. This is honestly one of the best pair of boots I've ever owned in my life. Certainly the most comfortable. Great quality for the price.
Yeah the value is second to none. I'm really big on value and versatility and no one else comes close. Well Parkhurst does but no one else is BETTER haha
I've got a pair of the Brown Scouts that I purchased before Christmas 2017 and those have held up nicely. These are so nice that I'm buying another pair. I did not want the clunky work boot look of the Red Wings, so the Thursday Boots satisfied me.
Was about to snag the Allen Edmonds Mill but even on sale they’re ~$300 total. These are a full $100 cheaper. And as you know here in NYC they’re just down the road from each other. You’re reviews aren’t invaluable my friend!
I own a pair of Thursday's captain boots with a Terracotta finish. I've had them four or five months now and have to say I love them. I agree with almost all of the information in your review. They are very solid, well finished and comfortable. I hope to have mine a long time. Two relatively minor points of disagreement with your review: mine scuff relatively easily. Those scuffs buff out with some minor polishing and regular care, so it's not a concern for me. Also, their sizing system is pretty accurate, although not perfect for me. I typically wear a size 8 shoe. I bought the same size of Thursday captains, but will occasionally feel my toes pressing against the front of the boot when I"m wearing a pair of thick socks. My next pair will be an 8 1/2. If anything, I would urge people to buy a half size larger than their shoe sizes. Thanks for the review.
Interesting! Yeah with the fit it's important to remember that there's a ton of stuff that can affect it, not just size of the foot/shoe but also the instep, toe box height, a ton of things. So yeah, fit can vary! Glad you like 'em, I love the look of Terracotta as well.
How did they hold up after those years? - idk, why everytime I go to Thursday website, i see all the boots leather colour looks very very polished and it makes the boots look like a toy of some sort.
A cobbler on TH-cam, Trenton and Heath did a tear down of Thursday boots and found that they were quality. From owning a pair, they are pretty good, a little heavy from the construction, but they do a good job. They come in a more rugged rough out version (I got those ones, which I waxed into a really nice texture) as well as suede, but suede isn’t as strong usually. Having really shiny shoes is really in trend right now, especially in dress shoes and I guess Thursday’s photography is buying into that with a lot of their leathers, but they’ll probably not come as polished, and worst comes to worst, you can scuff them up yourself.
Hi Nick......are these still your fav? I know you have tons of boots......would you still recommend Thursday over boots such as those at Cobbler Union? Appreciate the recommendations/thoughts. Do you have any pics of these captains when they were just out of the box new? :-). Thanks!
The last leaves me cold. It's kinda symmetrical. The best lasts are antinomically correct and support your foot. A good last makes a boot feel like they're part of you. These boots force your foot to conform to the boot.
This boot seems like it tries to be two things, yet is neither. I guess it is a casual boot that *could* be taken into the office on Fridays. It doesn’t seem tough enough for motorcycle duty, nor for a job site, nor for woodsy duty. I guess just walking around looking cool? LOL Not judging. This book looks really nice especially in this color, but I don’t know where I could wear it, other than walking around a city. Which i guess is just what this is for. Thanks for the review, I’m grateful for the information - I do think it’s an attractive boot, but I can see now that this boot is not going to work for me.
I can anyone tell me about a break in sizing issue , I bought the UK size, 8 1/2, 9 , 9 1/2 , size 9 1/2, way too big in length and width, 8 1/2 length is fine width is way to small, so I returned them and thought the 9 would be fine , recently opened the box left it too late to based in UK, I find the size 9 there is a bit of heel slippage, nothing too much to worry about, but the width around the, vamp is very very tight, I've been wearing them around the house, I've tried the thick socks thing, wearing them for about an hour at most, however the vamp, is extremely still,, have not worn them outside yet, I'm just wondering, whether they will, loosen up, and feel comfortable to walk in , what is the break in period, have applied conditioner, still way to tight, I find the sizing a bit strange in these boots, so can anyone tell if they will actually break in , and be comfortable, thanks for any help
Finally made a decision on a new boot to purchase and I purchased this one because of your videos! Fantastic informative reviews! Keep up the great work :)
All these youtube/fashion guys swear by Thursday boots but when you go on Amazon and read the reviews, there are a lot of complaints about the heel falling off or the varying sizing issue. I'm very wary about purchasing these boots especially in the era of social influencers and sponsored overpriced fashion product reviews. On one hand they look really nice but on the other it feels like a situation where if something seems too good to be true, it probably is
They’re good for the money. Mark Albert is basically the same company but all of their boots are made in the U.S, aside from their Italian made chelsea.
Great vid! Subscribed. First time boot buyer here. I bought a pair of brown captains because of your videos. Quick question: i only have access to Saphir products and I'm looking for a boot care regimen specifically for the brown Captains. What specific regimen/products would you recommend?
I got the diplomat in burnt copper as my first pair of boots. I love them. I'm seriously looking at Brown Captain for a little less bulky option and more versatile option. Great review. You've been a great resource.
"take into the forest and fight bear in..." "... i have a different pair of boots for that" lol I discovered this brand a bit ago and was thinking of purchasing a pair of these, kind of on the fence about it. Very helpful breakdown of this boot.
Gonna give these a shot! I have my reservations they'll be able to match my Butteros I've owned since 2010/2011, but what the hell. At $200, it's tough to go wrong.
I like theses styles but every picture shows jeans I work as a delivery driver and gotta wear a uniform so wounding how they would look and could they uphold this high demand job without blowing out the heal and sole in a few months
$265+tax Canadian and I just ordered my first pair yesterday. It's because of videos like this that I made the decision to go with this boot. Comfort and durability is a must, and being able to wear them casual or dress is a bonus. I can't wait to get these boots!
@@matiasgibbs251 well I ordered off Amazon Prime so it was quick.. You're going to love them, super comfy and so stylish. I recommend to treat them with a leather conditioner, it'll make the break in process painless.
I am a big fan of your channel, and you helped me get into boots, but I believe you are being disingenuous regarding the price/value. To say you would have thought Thursday boots would have been well over 300 dollars if not 400 is absolutely ludicrous. I purchased the Captain and President 4 years ago as my first quality boots. Since then, I now own Grant Stone, Red Wing, Truman and Nicks. All four of these brands run circles around Thursday. Grant Stone and Red Wing at 350 are obviously a major step up from Thursday and you know that. I won’t even mention Truman’s much less Nicks as there is simply no comparison. Thursdays are what they are. A quality boot for 200 bucks. It’s an erroneous lie to the viewers when you say they belong in the 300-400 range. No way in hell. Keep up the great work, but c’mon man, be honest here.
Thanks for this review, i live in Australia- Melb and i was looking to get Red Wing Iron Rangers but the price of $575 AUD put me off a bit so i have just ordered pair of Thursday Captains on Amazon.au for a more comfortable price of $370.
Yeah with the import fees and everything Red Wing can be tough. I mean that's $390 USD, they've thrown on 70USD to the cost! Hope you like the Capatins my man
well, “free returns” … until Thursday FLAGS you and then they ask you pay restocking fees no matter how many shoes you bought from them. I bought many thursday boots over the past two year but found that the sizing was always a lottery (ended up trying multiple sizes)… sizes vary from different leathers to style and even if it is the same boot … right now i have boots and shoes from Thursdays from size 9, 9.5, 10 and 10 wide… same feet though! I would call it inconsistent. Frustrating!
I have a pair of these. They're alright at best. Ive worn them maybe 75 times in 2.5 yrs. Getting ready for a date the other night and the speed hooks popped off the boot. Contacted Thursday Boot company to try to get them repaired... Nothing... Crickets. So I hit up their facebook page and they freaking blocked me. Guys spend your $200 with a company who will stand behind their products and back them up. These influencers act like $200 for boots is inexpensive. Guy's, I had to bust my ass and save to buy these boots and this company wont even entertain a conversation about repairing a well kept, very lightly used pair of boots bought from them. I was proud to own them. Now I'm embarrassed to say they took my hard earned $$. I would've gotten better wear from a $50 boot on amazon and recieved the same bad customer service
and the best of all, they are made in LEON GUANAJUATO MEXICO, the internacional city of the best leather shoes and Jackets, and with this great Italian boot design the best, casual and at same time for the office.
I debated between a few styles of their boots and just decided on and purchased this morning the Whiskey color. They use different soles on the Whiskey and Tobacco (which is backordered currently) colors. My first shoes with good leather and welted. Also, i'm getting a pair of the sneakers because the quality looks so good for the price of 129.
If you are not living in the States. Think twice if you want to buy boots from Thursday. I’m in Canada and purchased from Thursday. Delivery, not received after two weeks of wait, is terrible and return is costly as you need to cover the international delivery fees. Just my personal experience.
Just bought a pair and love them, so comfortable! Thank you for making this review, I never spent this much money on a pair of shoes/boots. They are completely worth it! Andy F. in the comments was right, you are the best boot guy reviewer on the internet, subbed!
My feet are nearly identical to yours I measure around 11.6 on bran nock? So I tried the Thursday captain in a size 11 but they were too big in the toe area so I’m trying a size 10 instead you think a size 10 will be good?
Thank you for your great videos and comparisons. Led me to buying a Captain. Love them for the price. Not sure if you’ve mentioned this elsewhere but which way would you go between Thursday Captains vs Red Wing Iron Ranger Seconds (since they are basically at the same price as seconds)?
Thanks for an excellent review. Was thinking of ordering a pair from Oak Street Bootmakers, being I'm a Chicagoan and so is the company and leather, but couldn't pass these up for value and quality.
@@Stridewise That's what changed my mind! Glad I didn't get caught up in the Chicago connection. Actually started to love the story behind Thursday. Got the same color as yours, love that burgundy shade. Thanks again! 😀👍
I just received my pair of thursdays captains today. If one believes in quality of the boot and look it as an investment for years to come, Thursday boot is not to go for. There are lot other boots from other manufacturers both US and imported that have way better quality of leather and craftsmenship. Redwings, Viberg, Whites, Meermin to name a few. To keep price low to beat competition, Thursday has cut corners with: 1.Inferior leather lining that they tout it fancy as glove leather lining. 2. Upper leather is not at all inferior but also definitely not highest quality as you would find on names mentioned and many other manufacturers from Europe. Leather used is thinner too. I would love to see how it would hold after 2 resolings. 3. Footbed is not leather insoled that would mold to your foot over time. Then again it is ok boot for someone seeking step higher than Clarks, Timberlands etc under 200. I own Brass boot from Grant stone and Viberg. 150 more for those boots than Captains is definitely justified.
Hi stridewise. Very good review. Out of your video I decided to buy one in midnight blue suede and you helped me out about the misery of the size. I talked to Thursday boots. It is difficult to order from outside of the US with the risk of sizing and fitting. Your video war helpful and after receiving the boots I will commend it here again.
Oh cool! I really appreciate the feedback, I hope you like the suede! A buddy of mine has the same pair, they're pretty eye catching. Sizing is definitely the most stressful part of buying a boot online, I'm very glad I could be of help.
I have a pair of Majors on the way, they shipped today in fact, but I'm definitely going to get myself a pair of Captains as my second purchase once I've had some time with the Majors
Rex Erection I wear Nikes us8.5, a bit snug. And wear Thursday us7. I went 1.5 sizes down! ha ha ha! But I don’t feel pain. It fits perfectly. Perhaps Japanese feet are different on shape(maybe wider). So suitable sneaker size is bigger than American’s. Therefore I recommend you to buy us8.5 or 9 concerning break-in. Thursday’s leather is soft, so it can widen (be expanding?). Sorry for my English skill 🙏
You can take it to a shoe repair shop and shouldn't cost you more than $40 for a toe repair BUT I would recommend just contacting Thursday and having them warrantied
@@AXV22 Thanks, appreciate the help. I did contact Thursday Boot Co, but their answer was "don't worry, this doesn't affect the structural integrity of the boot." I personally disagree, as the action of the rubber peeling off the sole tears the rubber at the stitching point. At this point it's been too long since I bought them, so I'll have to get a repair done. Thanks again!
Thanks nick, since looking at your vid along with some others on Thursday boots I pulled the trigger and got the same pair that are in this vid. They are surprisingly comfortable and I'm somewhat in love with them....weird but true. I sized down a half a size BUT they were too small in length so I went with my standard size 9 wide, which they only offer in 4 different finishes. So far I really like them and will definitely recommend them to others.
I love my black matte Captains! Had them about two weeks and am OBSESSED with the craftsmanship, look and high quality! Will need another pair of Tobacco or Arizona Adobe very soon! Getting major compliments on them! Why did I wait this long to snag them! Phenomenal boots! 💯🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️
I REALLY wish that they had a European part of the company. 20 dollar freight, 25% sales tax and 15% toll makes them pricey and pretty much impossible to exchange if the size is wrong. :( P.S: But the sneakers I ordered ANYWAY were absolutely beautiful, with no quality issues visible to me. :)
Stridewise I am just wondering what size boots I should get as I am 8 1/2 (H) Wide in RM Williams which I was told is a 9 EE in Red Wings...Could you please advise me which size I should go for in the Thursday Captain boots...cheers from down under...
Planning to buy a pair of Thursday Boot Majors and I normally wear a size US9 in Jordan 1s (I'm a 9.5 on the Brannock device). What size should i get for the Majors? Thanks
Curious what color boots those are. I know you said brown but the colors they list dont have a "brown." There is Arizona Adobe, Canyon, burnt copper, safari, whiskey.. etc..
The Thursday imitation dainite rubber sole is much thinner than actual Dainite. In other words, Thursday's version of Dainite will not last as long, will need to be resoled in a shorter amount of time, and will bald faster than the real deal. Also, the EVA insole is garbage. A solid leather insole with a cork midsole is adequate. The boots will stink like hell with EVA and textile materials inside.
As I said already the good year method is not the best. There is another method which makes the boot better and stronger. Since it is made in mexico naturally makes it cheaper. The construction is weaker. The good year method does not guarantee that the boot is waterproof. They only have 2 widths that is not enough to satisfy the public. More widths would make the boot more costly. If the rubber sole was only glued it would be better when it comes for repairs. A well glued attached sole does not need stitching and it is to repair. The grip of a sole depends mainly on the composition of the sole. Almost any boot can be made waterproof at the time of production but it makes the boot more expensive. The Thursday boot is acceptable for the price but it is nothing special. At $200 it is worth it
Sorry Bud, you speak so fast and with that heavy accent it's very hard to follow. I have inadvertently opened three separate videos where you happen to be the presenter. Same situation on each video. Fast talk, thick accent. Sorry.
No real difference between Captain and President besides the toe cap. The Vanguard is a narrower last and doesn't have the EVA strip, plus it's all made in America.
Lots of bad reviews on Amazon saying these boots are terribly uncomfortable and poor quality. Also that they crease very easily and you can’t return them if creased. Do more research if you plan to buy these. Maybe if it seems to be too good to be true, it really is.
Just found your channel. Great reviews! These are just the sort of boots I've been looking for. One question: should I get the neutral or the medium brown Venetian leather balm if I wanted to get the brown boots? Thanks!
Great question, I think if you're not married to the color of your boots you could get a colored balm, that could make it a bit more lustrous when you condition them, while Venetian shoe cream is a bit better at maintaining the current color, plus it *may* be better at getting rid of scuffs and scrapes (though I'm not quite sure how the balm works with scrapes when compared to the cream).
Thanks for the reply. So, the balm is different from a polish, right? Will the neutral (non-colored) balm still cover up minor scratches and dings on a brown boot like the ones featured here?
I don't want to say the wrong thing here because I have another video somewhere where a company recommends balm over cream, the thing is these companies are weirdly secretive about the ingredients in these things so I can't point to the actual differences. I think the balm makes the boot a little shinier than the cream, like it's just a little bit closer to a polish. So I don't want to make a definitive statement either way, I just hear people recommend Venetian shoe cream a lot more often than the balms :/ Sorry I can't be of more help
Stridewise No, it's good, man. I just want to make sure I get the right stuff to maintain my boots. I went to Thursday's website, and like you said, they had a bunch of gifs that broke down the basic maintenance process. They recommended the basic leather balm, so I guess that's what I'll go for. Thanks again for the quick response.
Just purchased my first pair of Thursday Captains in tobacco and I'm hooked. These are very satisfying boots to wear and part of that is the perceived value given the price. My first full day wearing them was a 12 hour day mostly on my feet. I took a backup pair of sneaks to change into just in case and didn't need to. Definitely purchasing more.
Saying they don't scuff easily is a bit surprising to me. I just got a pair of brown like these, I feel like the light contact between the eyelet and the tongue already scratched it.
I want to order my first pair of boots. Them being the Captain Tobacco but I want to know if you’ve changed your mind on sizing. I normally wear a size 10.5 with my Jordans and Nikes and that leaves me with some room in the toe but that’s how I like it to fit. I’ve never liked my toes to be right on the edge. Would you still recommend going a half size down? Once again this is going to be my first boot ever. Really don’t know how boots should fit or anything. Nice video btw Please reply.
These are Junk as is their quality control and customer service. Mine stared to unravel. Sent them pics and they told me to take to a cobbler to fix. I told them I’d worn them twice for a few hours each and that was it. What a joke!
Does Thursday Boot Company manufacture in Chinese sweatshops...employing forced (child) labour? I love how you glance over any information regarding Thursday's Founders' vast shoe making history and passion\ for the craft. Is this because Thursday is headed by a couple wealthy boot consuming entrepreneurs hoping to get more boot while paying workers less?
It was founded by entrepreneurs who like boots? It's a new company so of course there's not decades of history here. They're not made in China, they're made in Mexico, except for their Vanguard boots which I've reviewed
Stridewise what are your thoughts on the new StormKing sole for Tobacco/Whiskey for the Captains? Also I'm kind of lost in terms of which Captain color is the most versatile, do you happen to have an opinion on that?
Hey I really appreciate it, Matt! Loooove hearing positive feedback. Well, any kind of feedback is valuable but I obviously prefer comments like yours!
Probably the Captains, though the Presidents are also a possibility... I really like their Chelseas and Chukkas as well, but I feel like the others are a little more versatile, with the ability to be both rugged and smart.
Yeah. I love the Captains but I think the President is more versatile, it's practically identical but without the toe cap so it's even easier to dress down. Haven't thought much about their chelseas and chukkas just yet, but as summer approaches I need to start thinking about chukkas.
Never worn boots before....been a sandals or vans kinda guy. It’s time to man up. Any advice on which one to get? The popular one seems to be the captain
Hi Nick. I am considering buying this boot. How do they feel after 3 years of wear? I am hoping to alternate this with a pair of RM Williams Comfort Turnout for work. Thanks

Hey, I was wondering if you'd share what pants you're wearing at 0:10 they look great
@@AslanW Zanerobes! I dont think they make this color anymore tho
@@Stridewise Thank you! It seems as if you're correct unfortunately.
My captains were just delivered. This is my first pair of pointed toe boots, so I don't really know how much room their should be between the end of my big toe and the front of the boot. With most shoes I've had, I consider between an index finger and a thumb width to be normal. In these I have nearly a thumb AND index finger's room. These are size 13. I usually wear 14 tennies, and 13 boots. Do I need to size down? Thanks.
Hey! Great video :) Thanks so much for sharing your feedback we truly appreciate all your support and we're so glad that you love the Captains. It's one of our favorites as well!
Cool, glad you guys found this review! Keep up the good work :)
For the most part I love the design and comfort of these boots but may I suggest taking the heel down about half its size? The high heel looks a bit feminine. A lower heel would be more masculine and rugged but it would still maintain its dressy quality.
Thursday Boot Company .....just ordered my first pair of Thursday boots....the olive suede chukka....really looking forward to getting them. Based on what I keep hearing about these boots on quality, I may very well be ordering the captains soon after. 😄
@@AdonisBorn1 Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely looking for suggestions. I will be sure to share with the production team. Also, feel free to reach out to us founders@thursdayboots.com if you have any other suggestions or questions!
@@jay-rus4437 AMAZING! Welcome to the Team :)
The fact these boots are still the same price now is mind blowing
Thursday forever
You are the best boot guy on the internet by far. Keep it up.
You just made my week, thank you so much for the kind words, Andy! I'm printing out and framing this comment :)
Yes I have been researching boots for last month and your reviews are perfect. Well balanced and genuine.
Andy Flewelling bootlicker
I concur, very good reviews! The only other boot videos I watch is Brian the boot man and he is a cobbler working on said boots.
@@EW-ph7hj Agreed same here.
I’ve put my pair of Thursday’s through two years of hard wear (and I mean hiking, backpacking, all over the continental USA, as well as regular wear) and they are honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made. It’s sad to hear from the comments that others haven’t had the same experience, but in my personal use, they’ve exceeded my expectations.
1) Gorgeous, tough leather,
2) Easy to maintain (two years + regular conditioning and polishing and they’re still in amazing shape),
3) Comfortable as all heck,
4) Age beautifully (Trust me, after two years, they look better than they did when I first got them),
5) Amazing price.
All in all, essentially a perfect all around boot for the price!
PS. Great video, great channel!
Thanks Nhat! I'm still a huge fan of these boots. How often do you condition yours?
Stridewise I give them a quick layer of polish whenever they’re looking a little worn and I fully condition them with Saphir Renovateur about once every 2 months.
+Nhat Tran. They are awesome. When I was hiking, I used mine to stomp a grass fire out and they were undamaged Only the laces caught alight and I just rubbed them out against the back of the leg of my jeans before they burnt through.
+Nhat Tran sounds too good to be true.
what model of Thursday’s do you have?
Thank you, this and your comparison videos really saved me from buying Red Wings and Wolverines, which I initially wanted for years. I definitely need something like the Captain, because of my delicate feet haha.
Im honestly stumped by the negative reviews thursdays get. I have 3 pairs and am pondering ordering a pair of presidents. My Captains are perfect going on a year, and while the internet may not believe me, I actually prefer the thursday desert boots to my allen edmonds dessert boots (im looking at you r/goodyearwelt). I've had zero quality control issues, they've worn well, and having a big wide foot its hard to find a pair thats just right. Whatever last Thursday uses is great for us wide footed few.
Right? They're really great. As I mentioned in the video, their first line of boots that came out after the kickstarter had a couple of issues but they have gone through many many (many) iterations since then, they're a different product now but a lot of the reviews that surface on reddit were from people who had the first run. I'm pumped to get a pair of Presidents myself, Josh, I'm thinking the Tobacco color. How about you?
I am really tempted by the natural, but Ive gotta go black, I have enough brown boots but my sons german sheperd puppy ate my only pair of black boots, and since I cant justify shelling out for a replacement pair of RM williams right now I am looking for a cost efficient alternative, another reason I like these boots, bang for the buck.
Haha yeah the President boots in black would be pretty versatile, are you planning on wearing them with a suit? I'm always curious as to if people work Thursday into a suit.
Im going to give it a shot and see how it looks, as I do wear suits for work. however I have a belief that if you arent clerking for the supreme court or entertaining the queen, you have 2 chances as a dude to stamp some personality on your ensemble, your watch and your footwear. SO if you break the "rules" of fashion there, but just a little you look better and stand out. so I like playing it fast and loose with those most of the time.
Damn I like the way you think, Joshua. Hope the Presidents work out for ya!
Thank you so much for making this video! I finally bought the Captain boots, and I can't stop smiling when I wear them. One weird thing I didn't expect is how amazing they smell lol I also love that they're handmade in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, Greatest leather shoe city in the world :D
Rex Erection I did, wear a 10.5-11 in nike and 10 fit me well. I’m hoping with more time the leather will relax and they’ll get more comfortable.
@Rex Erection I've had mine since early December, but if I were you and your shoes are unworn, definitely return for one size up, if you find they're too big you can always switch back. I'm gonna get leather conditioner soon and I've heard that helps a little with softening the leather. Saludos, it's a beautiful city!
A lot of bad reviews on Amazon with photos. Scratches and scuffs, boots deforming, nails sticking in the heel, cheap insole, lace grommets falling out, laces too long and awkward in the holes, eyelets badly scratching the tongue, dark soles upper scuffing badly, soles tearing etc. Poor customer service. Buyer beware.
If you are in NYC you can try them on in person.
Their showroom in Flatiron smells so good haha
I bought the Captain Arizona Adobe for my husband about 10 months ago and he really likes them, but they're not very durable like Thursday Boots said they would be. He used to wear them them about 3 times a week, up until the point when the stitching on the outsole started wasting away (about 4-5 months into having them). He works inside a building so it's not like they would've wasted away from rough terrain. Also, the outsole and midsole are splitting apart in the front and the sides. While some wear and tear is expected, he didn't expect that much wearing down so soon. He still really likes these boots and will be taking them to a cobbler, these are just some things to keep in mind if you decide to purchase from Thursday Boots.
Thanks for the review. Just ordered the black Captains boot for a duty boot at the firehouse. Hope they work as hard as my subordinates.
Great review my good man! I first heard of Thursday Boot on Barstool sports. I believe it was the Kirk Minihaine podcast. Hilarious show by the way but I digress. This is honestly one of the best pair of boots I've ever owned in my life. Certainly the most comfortable. Great quality for the price.
Yeah the value is second to none. I'm really big on value and versatility and no one else comes close. Well Parkhurst does but no one else is BETTER haha
I've got a pair of the Brown Scouts that I purchased before Christmas 2017 and those have held up nicely. These are so nice that I'm buying another pair. I did not want the clunky work boot look of the Red Wings, so the Thursday Boots satisfied me.
Yeah, they're definitely a good blend of fashion and function.
AMAZING!!! Glad they've held up to the test and appreciate the shoutout!
Was about to snag the Allen Edmonds Mill but even on sale they’re ~$300 total. These are a full $100 cheaper.
And as you know here in NYC they’re just down the road from each other.
You’re reviews aren’t invaluable my friend!
You sound like Jon from TechnoBuffalo with an Aussie accent 😄. Nice video
Haha I'll have to check him out
what colour is this. the brown they make today doesnt appear as dark brown as this
I own a pair of Thursday's captain boots with a Terracotta finish. I've had them four or five months now and have to say I love them. I agree with almost all of the information in your review. They are very solid, well finished and comfortable. I hope to have mine a long time. Two relatively minor points of disagreement with your review: mine scuff relatively easily. Those scuffs buff out with some minor polishing and regular care, so it's not a concern for me. Also, their sizing system is pretty accurate, although not perfect for me. I typically wear a size 8 shoe. I bought the same size of Thursday captains, but will occasionally feel my toes pressing against the front of the boot when I"m wearing a pair of thick socks. My next pair will be an 8 1/2. If anything, I would urge people to buy a half size larger than their shoe sizes. Thanks for the review.
Interesting! Yeah with the fit it's important to remember that there's a ton of stuff that can affect it, not just size of the foot/shoe but also the instep, toe box height, a ton of things. So yeah, fit can vary! Glad you like 'em, I love the look of Terracotta as well.
How did they hold up after those years?
- idk, why everytime I go to Thursday website, i see all the boots leather colour looks very very polished and it makes the boots look like a toy of some sort.
A cobbler on TH-cam, Trenton and Heath did a tear down of Thursday boots and found that they were quality. From owning a pair, they are pretty good, a little heavy from the construction, but they do a good job. They come in a more rugged rough out version (I got those ones, which I waxed into a really nice texture) as well as suede, but suede isn’t as strong usually. Having really shiny shoes is really in trend right now, especially in dress shoes and I guess Thursday’s photography is buying into that with a lot of their leathers, but they’ll probably not come as polished, and worst comes to worst, you can scuff them up yourself.
i've heard so many mixed things about these but they look beautiful. probably worth a punt
Yeah the thing with Thursday is they're so inexpensive they're not a huge risk.
Hi Nick......are these still your fav? I know you have tons of boots......would you still recommend Thursday over boots such as those at Cobbler Union? Appreciate the recommendations/thoughts. Do you have any pics of these captains when they were just out of the box new? :-). Thanks!
The last leaves me cold. It's kinda symmetrical. The best lasts are antinomically correct and support your foot. A good last makes a boot feel like they're part of you. These boots force your foot to conform to the boot.
This boot seems like it tries to be two things, yet is neither. I guess it is a casual boot that *could* be taken into the office on Fridays. It doesn’t seem tough enough for motorcycle duty, nor for a job site, nor for woodsy duty. I guess just walking around looking cool? LOL Not judging. This book looks really nice especially in this color, but I don’t know where I could wear it, other than walking around a city. Which i guess is just what this is for. Thanks for the review, I’m grateful for the information - I do think it’s an attractive boot, but I can see now that this boot is not going to work for me.
Poor you, that you have a job that is so limited in the footwear they allow you.
I can anyone tell me about a break in sizing issue , I bought the UK size, 8 1/2, 9 , 9 1/2 , size 9 1/2, way too big in length and width, 8 1/2 length is fine width is way to small, so I returned them and thought the 9 would be fine , recently opened the box left it too late to based in UK, I find the size 9 there is a bit of heel slippage, nothing too much to worry about, but the width around the, vamp is very very tight, I've been wearing them around the house, I've tried the thick socks thing, wearing them for about an hour at most, however the vamp, is extremely still,, have not worn them outside yet, I'm just wondering, whether they will, loosen up, and feel comfortable to walk in , what is the break in period, have applied conditioner, still way to tight, I find the sizing a bit strange in these boots, so can anyone tell if they will actually break in , and be comfortable, thanks for any help
Bought mine's yesterday 🙌🏿
Hope you like 'em, Rhys!
Finally made a decision on a new boot to purchase and I purchased this one because of your videos! Fantastic informative reviews! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks so much Jack!
Hey there, how are you doing ? How are the boots now?
All these youtube/fashion guys swear by Thursday boots but when you go on Amazon and read the reviews, there are a lot of complaints about the heel falling off or the varying sizing issue. I'm very wary about purchasing these boots especially in the era of social influencers and sponsored overpriced fashion product reviews. On one hand they look really nice but on the other it feels like a situation where if something seems too good to be true, it probably is
They’re good for the money. Mark Albert is basically the same company but all of their boots are made in the U.S, aside from their Italian made chelsea.
Great vid! Subscribed. First time boot buyer here. I bought a pair of brown captains because of your videos.
Quick question: i only have access to Saphir products and I'm looking for a boot care regimen specifically for the brown Captains. What specific regimen/products would you recommend?
Venetian Shoe Cream is what they recommend! Glad you like the channel, Kyle.
i will be using you link when i purchase!
These have a pretty bad rep on reddit. I passed and went straight to more Red Wings. Cheers
Hey, Red Wings are awesome too!
I got the diplomat in burnt copper as my first pair of boots. I love them. I'm seriously looking at Brown Captain for a little less bulky option and more versatile option. Great review. You've been a great resource.
"take into the forest and fight bear in..." "... i have a different pair of boots for that" lol I discovered this brand a bit ago and was thinking of purchasing a pair of these, kind of on the fence about it. Very helpful breakdown of this boot.
I've been looking at these for a while now. But living in England ,I'm sure they deliver here but the size issue has me worried.
Gonna give these a shot! I have my reservations they'll be able to match my Butteros I've owned since 2010/2011, but what the hell. At $200, it's tough to go wrong.
Yeah it's so low risk
I like theses styles but every picture shows jeans I work as a delivery driver and gotta wear a uniform so wounding how they would look and could they uphold this high demand job without blowing out the heal and sole in a few months
$265+tax Canadian and I just ordered my first pair yesterday. It's because of videos like this that I made the decision to go with this boot. Comfort and durability is a must, and being able to wear them casual or dress is a bonus. I can't wait to get these boots!
Thinking also of buying them. Can you tell me how high the heel is?
just ordered a pair here in BC. How was your experience with the shipping?
@@matiasgibbs251 well I ordered off Amazon Prime so it was quick.. You're going to love them, super comfy and so stylish. I recommend to treat them with a leather conditioner, it'll make the break in process painless.
@@rodrissanen7047 how are you and how are the boots now and how r they treating you?
I am a big fan of your channel, and you helped me get into boots, but I believe you are being disingenuous regarding the price/value. To say you would have thought Thursday boots would have been well over 300 dollars if not 400 is absolutely ludicrous.
I purchased the Captain and President 4 years ago as my first quality boots. Since then, I now own Grant Stone, Red Wing, Truman and Nicks. All four of these brands run circles around Thursday. Grant Stone and Red Wing at 350 are obviously a major step up from Thursday and you know that. I won’t even mention Truman’s much less Nicks as there is simply no comparison.
Thursdays are what they are. A quality boot for 200 bucks. It’s an erroneous lie to the viewers when you say they belong in the 300-400 range. No way in hell. Keep up the great work, but c’mon man, be honest here.
I'm reading feedback on Amazon, tons of complains about quality control on the Thursday boots.
Thanks for this review, i live in Australia- Melb and i was looking to get Red Wing Iron Rangers but the price of $575 AUD put me off a bit so i have just ordered pair of Thursday Captains on Amazon.au for a more comfortable price of $370.
Yeah with the import fees and everything Red Wing can be tough. I mean that's $390 USD, they've thrown on 70USD to the cost! Hope you like the Capatins my man
Stridewise thanks I’ve got a good feeling about the Captains and I haven’t even got them yet! Can’t wait till Friday haha 😂
And have a happy Australia Day!!😎
well, “free returns” … until Thursday FLAGS you and then they ask you pay restocking fees no matter how many shoes you bought from them. I bought many thursday boots over the past two year but found that the sizing was always a lottery (ended up trying multiple sizes)… sizes vary from different leathers to style and even if it is the same boot … right now i have boots and shoes from Thursdays from size 9, 9.5, 10 and 10 wide… same feet though! I would call it inconsistent. Frustrating!
I have a pair of these. They're alright at best. Ive worn them maybe 75 times in 2.5 yrs. Getting ready for a date the other night and the speed hooks popped off the boot. Contacted Thursday Boot company to try to get them repaired... Nothing... Crickets. So I hit up their facebook page and they freaking blocked me. Guys spend your $200 with a company who will stand behind their products and back them up. These influencers act like $200 for boots is inexpensive. Guy's, I had to bust my ass and save to buy these boots and this company wont even entertain a conversation about repairing a well kept, very lightly used pair of boots bought from them. I was proud to own them. Now I'm embarrassed to say they took my hard earned $$. I would've gotten better wear from a $50 boot on amazon and recieved the same bad customer service
always enjoy your reviews brotha thank you for posting
Thanks for watching! I know this was a long one to get through :)
and the best of all, they are made in LEON GUANAJUATO MEXICO, the internacional city of the best leather shoes and Jackets, and with this great Italian boot design the best, casual and at same time for the office.
I'm thinking hard on these, I really like how they look
I debated between a few styles of their boots and just decided on and purchased this morning the Whiskey color. They use different soles on the Whiskey and Tobacco (which is backordered currently) colors. My first shoes with good leather and welted. Also, i'm getting a pair of the sneakers because the quality looks so good for the price of 129.
If you are not living in the States. Think twice if you want to buy boots from Thursday. I’m in Canada and purchased from Thursday. Delivery, not received after two weeks of wait, is terrible and return is costly as you need to cover the international delivery fees. Just my personal experience.
Just bought a pair and love them, so comfortable! Thank you for making this review, I never spent this much money on a pair of shoes/boots. They are completely worth it! Andy F. in the comments was right, you are the best boot guy reviewer on the internet, subbed!
I want to buy, how do I do it
Just wondering….3 years later, still your favorites?
can i just say it was a missed opportunity to not name the sole a "Thursday Night Sole"
My feet are nearly identical to yours I measure around 11.6 on bran nock? So I tried the Thursday captain in a size 11 but they were too big in the toe area so I’m trying a size 10 instead you think a size 10 will be good?
Thank you for your great videos and comparisons. Led me to buying a Captain. Love them for the price. Not sure if you’ve mentioned this elsewhere but which way would you go between Thursday Captains vs Red Wing Iron Ranger Seconds (since they are basically at the same price as seconds)?
Welcome to the Team Joe- We hope you enjoy your boots! Best, Kendra from Thursday
What brand are those red pants you're wearing at 0:10
Zanerobe! They don't do this color anymore though I'm afraid
I have these in black chrome. Very well made. There might prevent me from buying a pair of Wolverine 1000 mile boots
You’ve sold me! Gonna buy some. Thanks for the video!
I ordered this same pair but I'm not really loving the reddish brown colour. Any tips to make them darker brown and get rid of the reddish tone?
i have their president boots...their dope,like them a lot
Enjoy your boots!
This is the boot that man go outing with wife !
Thanks for an excellent review. Was thinking of ordering a pair from Oak Street Bootmakers, being I'm a Chicagoan and so is the company and leather, but couldn't pass these up for value and quality.
Cool, hope you like 'em! Oak Street is great as well but I didn't love how my toes slipped forward in them.
@@Stridewise That's what changed my mind! Glad I didn't get caught up in the Chicago connection. Actually started to love the story behind Thursday. Got the same color as yours, love that burgundy shade. Thanks again! 😀👍
I just received my pair of thursdays captains today. If one believes in quality of the boot and look it as an investment for years to come, Thursday boot is not to go for. There are lot other boots from other manufacturers both US and imported that have way better quality of leather and craftsmenship. Redwings, Viberg, Whites, Meermin to name a few. To keep price low to beat competition, Thursday has cut corners with:
1.Inferior leather lining that they tout it fancy as glove leather lining.
2. Upper leather is not at all inferior but also definitely not highest quality as you would find on names mentioned and many other manufacturers from Europe. Leather used is thinner too. I would love to see how it would hold after 2 resolings.
3. Footbed is not leather insoled that would mold to your foot over time.
Then again it is ok boot for someone seeking step higher than Clarks, Timberlands etc under 200.
I own Brass boot from Grant stone and Viberg. 150 more for those boots than Captains is definitely justified.
Thursday boots are not good. In Africa we make boot from Hippo skin. Very better.
I don't think there are any boots I would wear to put on and go fight a bear! lol.
Hi stridewise. Very good review. Out of your video I decided to buy one in midnight blue suede and you helped me out about the misery of the size. I talked to Thursday boots. It is difficult to order from outside of the US with the risk of sizing and fitting. Your video war helpful and after receiving the boots I will commend it here again.
Oh cool! I really appreciate the feedback, I hope you like the suede! A buddy of mine has the same pair, they're pretty eye catching. Sizing is definitely the most stressful part of buying a boot online, I'm very glad I could be of help.
I have a pair of Majors on the way, they shipped today in fact, but I'm definitely going to get myself a pair of Captains as my second purchase once I've had some time with the Majors
comfortable than sneaker😍
Rex Erection I wear Nikes us8.5, a bit snug. And wear Thursday us7. I went 1.5 sizes down! ha ha ha! But I don’t feel pain. It fits perfectly.
Perhaps Japanese feet are different on shape(maybe wider). So suitable sneaker size is bigger than American’s.
Therefore I recommend you to buy us8.5 or 9 concerning break-in. Thursday’s leather is soft, so it can widen (be expanding?).
Sorry for my English skill 🙏
How do you fix the rubber sole when the toe rips off? I have these exact same boots and I can't keep the sole on the toes for anything.
You can take it to a shoe repair shop and shouldn't cost you more than $40 for a toe repair BUT I would recommend just contacting Thursday and having them warrantied
@@AXV22 Thanks, appreciate the help. I did contact Thursday Boot Co, but their answer was "don't worry, this doesn't affect the structural integrity of the boot." I personally disagree, as the action of the rubber peeling off the sole tears the rubber at the stitching point. At this point it's been too long since I bought them, so I'll have to get a repair done.
Thanks again!
Thanks nick, since looking at your vid along with some others on Thursday boots I pulled the trigger and got the same pair that are in this vid. They are surprisingly comfortable and I'm somewhat in love with them....weird but true. I sized down a half a size BUT they were too small in length so I went with my standard size 9 wide, which they only offer in 4 different finishes. So far I really like them and will definitely recommend them to others.
I ordered boots after watching your video.
I hope my boots get on the plane safely.😃😃
I hope so too!
I love my black matte Captains! Had them about two weeks and am OBSESSED with the craftsmanship, look and high quality! Will need another pair of Tobacco or Arizona Adobe very soon! Getting major compliments on them! Why did I wait this long to snag them! Phenomenal boots! 💯🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️
I REALLY wish that they had a European part of the company. 20 dollar freight, 25% sales tax and 15% toll makes them pricey and pretty much impossible to exchange if the size is wrong. :(
P.S: But the sneakers I ordered ANYWAY were absolutely beautiful, with no quality issues visible to me. :)
Stridewise I am just wondering what size boots I should get as I am 8 1/2 (H) Wide in RM Williams which I was told is a 9 EE in Red Wings...Could you please advise me which size I should go for in the Thursday Captain boots...cheers from down under...
Planning to buy a pair of Thursday Boot Majors and I normally wear a size US9 in Jordan 1s (I'm a 9.5 on the Brannock device). What size should i get for the Majors? Thanks
I saw on another video these boots don't have a real toe cap..but still nice
Curious what color boots those are. I know you said brown but the colors they list dont have a "brown." There is Arizona Adobe, Canyon, burnt copper, safari, whiskey.. etc..
Still $199 in 2023. Just bought a pair.
The Thursday imitation dainite rubber sole is much thinner than actual Dainite. In other words, Thursday's version of Dainite will not last as long, will need to be resoled in a shorter amount of time, and will bald faster than the real deal. Also, the EVA insole is garbage. A solid leather insole with a cork midsole is adequate. The boots will stink like hell with EVA and textile materials inside.
Your video convinced me to buy a pair. Great work!
Can you do a comparison with the “Siplip Boot” from Amazon?
Looks like a copy but curious how well crafted it is or isn’t by comparison.
As I said already the good year method is not the best. There is another method which makes the boot better and stronger. Since it is made in mexico naturally makes it cheaper. The construction is weaker. The good year method does not guarantee that the boot is waterproof. They only have 2 widths that is not enough to satisfy the public. More widths would make the boot more costly. If the rubber sole was only glued it would be better when it comes for repairs. A well glued attached sole does not need stitching and it is to repair. The grip of a sole depends mainly on the composition of the sole. Almost any boot can be made waterproof at the time of production but it makes the boot more expensive. The Thursday boot is acceptable for the price but it is nothing special. At $200 it is worth it
Hi Stridewise,
Thank you for uploading awesome content.
What do you think of Thursday Roadster Jacket?
Sorry Bud, you speak so fast and with that heavy accent it's very hard to follow. I have inadvertently opened three separate videos where you happen to be the presenter. Same situation on each video. Fast talk, thick accent. Sorry.
I need a boot ..how can i get your boot . .i m from india
How do the Captains differ from the vanguard and the President? Besides the toecap
No real difference between Captain and President besides the toe cap. The Vanguard is a narrower last and doesn't have the EVA strip, plus it's all made in America.
How about do review on BLKBRD boots from India
Lots of bad reviews on Amazon saying these boots are terribly uncomfortable and poor quality. Also that they crease very easily and you can’t return them if creased. Do more research if you plan to buy these. Maybe if it seems to be too good to be true, it really is.
Are there any plans on reviewing Thursday's Logger Boots?
Just found your channel. Great reviews!
These are just the sort of boots I've been looking for.
One question: should I get the neutral or the medium brown Venetian leather balm if I wanted to get the brown boots? Thanks!
Great question, I think if you're not married to the color of your boots you could get a colored balm, that could make it a bit more lustrous when you condition them, while Venetian shoe cream is a bit better at maintaining the current color, plus it *may* be better at getting rid of scuffs and scrapes (though I'm not quite sure how the balm works with scrapes when compared to the cream).
Thanks for the reply. So, the balm is different from a polish, right? Will the neutral (non-colored) balm still cover up minor scratches and dings on a brown boot like the ones featured here?
I don't want to say the wrong thing here because I have another video somewhere where a company recommends balm over cream, the thing is these companies are weirdly secretive about the ingredients in these things so I can't point to the actual differences. I think the balm makes the boot a little shinier than the cream, like it's just a little bit closer to a polish. So I don't want to make a definitive statement either way, I just hear people recommend Venetian shoe cream a lot more often than the balms :/ Sorry I can't be of more help
Stridewise No, it's good, man. I just want to make sure I get the right stuff to maintain my boots. I went to Thursday's website, and like you said, they had a bunch of gifs that broke down the basic maintenance process. They recommended the basic leather balm, so I guess that's what I'll go for. Thanks again for the quick response.
Just purchased my first pair of Thursday Captains in tobacco and I'm hooked. These are very satisfying boots to wear and part of that is the perceived value given the price. My first full day wearing them was a 12 hour day mostly on my feet. I took a backup pair of sneaks to change into just in case and didn't need to. Definitely purchasing more.
Saying they don't scuff easily is a bit surprising to me. I just got a pair of brown like these, I feel like the light contact between the eyelet and the tongue already scratched it.
I want to order my first pair of boots. Them being the Captain Tobacco but I want to know if you’ve changed your mind on sizing. I normally wear a size 10.5 with my Jordans and Nikes and that leaves me with some room in the toe but that’s how I like it to fit. I’ve never liked my toes to be right on the edge. Would you still recommend going a half size down? Once again this is going to be my first boot ever. Really don’t know how boots should fit or anything.
Nice video btw
Please reply.
These are Junk as is their quality control and customer service. Mine stared to unravel. Sent them pics and they told me to take to a cobbler to fix. I told them I’d worn them twice for a few hours each and that was it. What a joke!
Had mine for about three weeks now. They have a squeak when I walk. Anyone else experienced this? Solution?
Does Thursday Boot Company manufacture in Chinese sweatshops...employing forced (child) labour? I love how you glance over any information regarding Thursday's Founders' vast shoe making history and passion\ for the craft. Is this because Thursday is headed by a couple wealthy boot consuming entrepreneurs hoping to get more boot while paying workers less?
It was founded by entrepreneurs who like boots? It's a new company so of course there's not decades of history here. They're not made in China, they're made in Mexico, except for their Vanguard boots which I've reviewed
@@Stridewise Thanks for noting that.
Stridewise what are your thoughts on the new StormKing sole for Tobacco/Whiskey for the Captains? Also I'm kind of lost in terms of which Captain color is the most versatile, do you happen to have an opinion on that?
Wtf is up with that thumbnail...... jogger pants and vintage leather boots DAFUQ?!?!?
This video is truly impressive considering your channel's youth...Great work! Subbed!
Hey I really appreciate it, Matt! Loooove hearing positive feedback. Well, any kind of feedback is valuable but I obviously prefer comments like yours!
Of course sir... I am hoping to have me a pair of these boots soon, and this video helped me pick the ones that I am ordering I think
Great! Which ones are you thinking of getting?
Probably the Captains, though the Presidents are also a possibility... I really like their Chelseas and Chukkas as well, but I feel like the others are a little more versatile, with the ability to be both rugged and smart.
Yeah. I love the Captains but I think the President is more versatile, it's practically identical but without the toe cap so it's even easier to dress down. Haven't thought much about their chelseas and chukkas just yet, but as summer approaches I need to start thinking about chukkas.
What color belt would you wear with that color, black? I don't have that color belt.
Yeah it's an unusual color. I think Thursday makes belts in this color though thursdayboots.com/products/brown-belt?collection=mens-belts-wallets
I need to get a pair of these I love the slim profile. They are beautiful.
Yeah, especially for a boot with a toe cap they're nice and slim, very different to Iron Rangers.
Thank ya sir- makes all the hard work worth it!🙏🎉
I'm on my 5th pair of Caps. Love them❤
🤣 I must’ve misunderstood the phrase “put through the ringer”. Either way your reviews are appreciated👍
Never worn boots before....been a sandals or vans kinda guy. It’s time to man up. Any advice on which one to get? The popular one seems to be the captain
Hi Nick. I am considering buying this boot. How do they feel after 3 years of wear? I am hoping to alternate this with a pair of RM Williams Comfort Turnout for work. Thanks
