Received mine in black teacore this week. I also have the indigo Vanguards. These are beautiful but much heavier. Might be more boot than I need, but that's kind of the point. Came with the rawhide laces installed and a different pair that are too short.
I have just received this same boots in the same leather. These are awesome. I have Nicks urban logger but those are pretty heavy boots. I don't often wear them. But these looks badass but sleeker at the same time.
good looking boot. what can you say about the width of the toe box? is it significantly wider than the regular width captain? they dont have these in wide witdths.
I don't personally own the captains but I'd say it is probably the same if not a little wider. My toes don't feel cramped at all in the toe box, certainly not like a dress boot, but obviously not as roomy as a moc-toe or wide work boot. I wouldn't say " significantly" as it is still tapered. Thats about as good of an explanation as I can give since I don't own the Captains.
@@Gilad-000 I had to go up half a size to get about the same fit as the new Captain King Last, but then I also had to put in a neoprene insert to cut down some of the sloppiness and discomfort. The sizing can't be exactly the same because of the high heel and arch support style, which usually PNW boots tell you to SIZE DOWN, so I don't exactly know what is happening here that they run different from the Cpt, but I had to size up with the Hero model, too.
@@Highland_Paddy Going up a size can solve the width problem for sure but the last time I did that with Thursday boots they looked like clown shoes and getting an insert is just loosing the whole point of the leather insole.
@@Gilad-000 well, I could replace it later with leather insoles, but might as well wear out the poron heel pad first. also, neigh sure what's gonna happen w' then toe slits; might hafta rebuild that sooner than later, but at least then could switch t' honey sole. The toe cap isn't too clowny here, but wish it was optional. not sure how much more the toes will spring, either. I view them as an experiment, but overall I find them more wearable than some others so far but not counting on the same longevity, etc.
I'm curious to see how some of these leathers will perform over time, but most of the people buying these boots I suspect will neigh use them for any much heavy work or true outdoors purposes t' give me the feedback I really want. There are some other odd points of the construction compared t' the boots they are "challenging", etc.
It's an American company that sent the jobs over to Mexico. Nobody makes a PNW boot like people in the PNW. Save a little longer and get the real deal.

These Thursday’s are beautiful.
Great review!

the long laces are a nuisance. they will likely also shred the gusset bit prematurely.
the pricing is OK for what they are, I guess, but the target market is mostly for a fad?

The Drew’s are a good boot. Not to mention there’s very skilled boot makers is leon
