    Do we really need another minimalist white sneaker? If it's this leather and this construction at this pricepoint, my answer is yes. The company that makes the best priced boots on the market have released a line of sneakers in a ton of different leathers and colors, so I grabbed three of them to compare and give you the most thorough review you'll find.

    I think what is part of the appeal of Thursday's 3 heritage leather ones (like the cacao), is that they use the same leather which they use for boots, so creasing actually adds character to the sneaker rather than being something one should try and minimize and stress over. @1:41

    these are the best shoes i've had , i think they look better and feel better than all of the other sneakers or shoes i have tried , i have had them on for many hours but they keep being comfortable. i can't figure out how to rate them on their site. but i've got my toffee colored sneakers recently and they look amazing , and are just what i have been looking for. as a result i have ordered another black pair. if you are still contemplating whether you should get them or not i think you should. they are amazing.

    I bought the natural chromexcel sneakers. Overall I'm quite happy with them. They did take some break-in, but nothing horrible. My main gripe is that they are a bit narrow. I don't usually wear wide sizes, but these shoes kind of roll up a bit at the edges of the inseams and even after a dozen wears or so they haven't quite reshaped. I'm not sure if they will, though they usually feel better by the end of the day than at the beginning (or maybe I just get used to it, I dunno.)

    Thought I chime in as I own the one in white in a size 9. It holds up really well and creases slower than other brands and for the few months I've had it wearing it once a week it's still has no creases. The leather feel great and just a very comfortable shoe. I have a pair of Oliver Cabells in white as well and love them both about the same but I'd think the Thursday boot sneaker will hold better over time. They both get a five star from me.

Fit and finish is perfect. And at a fair price. I could not see paying $300 to $400 or more for sneaks; that's just not gonna happen for me. I love the Thursday sneakers and thanks for a great review.

    I have these in the Natural Essex and they're really nice. I wish they had wide sizes, but the construction is very solid. I think the Cacao is overall the best but I got the Essex because I like how it ages and that color fit in my collection best. I'm not wild about Thursday's boots, but their sneakers are a good buy. They're quite narrow though, so heads up.

    Hi Stridewise. I’m planning on getting the Premier Low Top White. I’m still confused about the sizing. Some say it’s narrow and other’s say it’s true to size. I’m wide footed. I usually buy size 9 unless they recommend to go half size up, like On Shoes and I own 2 pairs of that. I have an Adidas Stan Smith size 8.5. The only size 8.5 shoe I have cause I tried size 9 and it’s too big for me. So for this Thursday Premier Low Top’s? What shoe size do you recommend? Do I stay true to size? Which is size 9. Or do i have to go half size up? Thank you for your help.

    I was in the Thursday shop yesterday, fully expecting to buy a pair of the Premiers. Normally a size 11 US in most shoes & sneakers, sometimes even a 10.5, but the 11 in the TBC was noticeable shorter when I lined them up sole-to-sole with the sneakers I wore into the shop (J&M Banks). When on my foot, my big toe was brushing up against the front of the sneaker, so I went up to an 11.5. That length was spot on, but I was getting a weird feeling along the outer sides. Not necessarily too narrow, but it felt like there was pressure along the outer edge of my foot coming up from the bottom (not in from the sides). It felt like the inside of the sneaker - or insole - had a lip along the outer edge which was putting upward pressure on my feet. I noticed it after less than a minute, so I know I wouldn't want to be in them for hours on end.
    Too bad, too, as I like the way they looked, they appeared to be constructed well, and the price was right. Some reviews of the Oliver Cabell say the stitching right along the back of the heel may cause discomfort &/or blistering, so that gives me pause. And I'd rather not spring for what Crown Northamptons are going for, especially w/o being able to try them on first, although the reviews are almost universally positive. Even though they're made to order, I believe CN allows returns, so that may be what I go for in the end. I may give the Thursday sneakers one more chance by trying them again with a non-stock insole to see if that makes a difference.

The Simonons don’t have the shiny lace eyelets and look a bit more minimalistic which was a con in the video. Is it an issue? I don’t mind.

I know they’re there, but it’s not like I’m actively “seeing” them if that makes sense. It’s not like it takes over the entire look of the shoe. I’ve been looking between these white Thursday boot sneakers and the Koio capri triple white sneakers, and I don’t like the way the Koios look with no eyelets

    I’ve been driving my Thursday white sneakers very hard for over two years. The finishing on the leather hasn’t held up particularly well, which is on par with the other white Napa leather sneaks. I’m generally not bothered by the break in process, which is fortunate for me with these bad boys. After a few weeks though, similarly to other leather shoes, they are super duper comfy. They will probably not see me through next summer as the insole+midsole has started to disintegrate. Would still generally recommend ‘cause who can live without white sneakers?

      White sneakers are very easy to wear with a lot of things in anyone's wardrobe. They are easy to combine and they can be dressed up or down, no other shoe has that type of versatility. If you don't like when a white sole get dirty then there is a thing called shoe cleaners. I even have all black sneakers and i clean them every time I finish using them as if I did to a white sneaker. The more you take care of your stuff the more they will last.

I know you said you deterred from the Thursday ones bc of the metal eyelets, but for the pair of Thursday sneakers you do have…if you were to go with only one for the value, quality, comfort, etc., would it be Koio’s or Thursday’s sneakers?

    I have been going back and forth on these sneakers. I have no idea what color to get. I think white is probably the most versatile followed by the black with white soles but I really like the various brown ones like the toffee and cacao. Also, really like the grey one too. However, not sure the later ones will be as versatile as the white and black ones. Like the white ones will go with pretty much everything.

    I got the toffee ones. Honestly, not in love with them. Barely any of that nice burnishing you see on the store page, and the quality control was everywhere: askew stitching, uneven tongues, and exposed foam. The last is also more narrow than the boots and I keep on getting blisters whenever I put the sneakers on. A great value it might be, but a great shoe it is not. At least for me.
    If I wasn't in absolute dire need of a shoe at that time I would've immediately sent it back.
