You can rub boot oil on it and it will be waterproof. I do that with all my boots. I don't like the worn out destroyed look. I want them to last and look good as long as possible.
Just received my pair of Captain today! Before it arrived, I was a bit scared they wouldn't fit, but I was worried for nothing because they fit! My feet are really wide, 5E in size 10,5, so it's a hassle for me to buy boots and shoes and If Thursday boots didn't change their Last, the boots wouldn't have fit my feet. So I'm glad they changed their last.
I normally wear 9 in sneakers ,for Thursday boots I go with 8.5, it’s a little bit snug at the beginning and the more I wear it it gets more and more comfortable, but you can search some videos about how a boots should fit I am sure some of the videos include Thursday boots in it
two things, get some leather conditioner (preferably saphir) to protect them, and be careful about salt on the roads man, that shit will ruin the leather.
Have you any separation at the sole? Mine are, its pretty minor but im thinking about contacting thursday because ive only had them for a little over a month.
BS. I bought my third pair and they refused to take them back. They were never worn. They are paper weights for me now. Just order Beckett Simonon much better quality.
Thursday boots are vary good boots. They surpass doc Martin by a mile doc martins are vary cheaply made compared to Thursday boots. Also the type of color also is how resilient the leather is the rugged and resilient line of colors are obviously the most resilient compared to all the others which are pretty much the same.
They're great boots, but the only, (and this is a TINY nitpick) thing I wish I knew is that the top 2 lace hooks will catch on the hem of my jeans. And so i spend a few times unhooking them whenever I wear my jeans.
I just got my Thursday Vanguards 11.5 yesterday. I love them but they really are pretty big. I have a B width and I went down a half size from my Brannock devise which is a 12, sneakers are also 12. Perhaps because I have a narrow somewhat flat foot I'm wondering if the 11 might be better. Do you have narrow or flat feet?
I’ve ordered a few pairs of shoes/boots. The boots were incredibly uncomfortable, even after using shoe stretchers. I’m probably done ordering their products.
0:46 I also went half a size down from sneaker size but they are a bit too long for my liking. I'm going buy new pair a full size down from Adidas, Nike sneaker size.
@@siimtorim I’d say go with their recommendation first, I haven’t gotten my full size down pair yet to verify. if you live in the us, you can easily return them (just be careful putting them on and don’t create any creases in the leather, they won’t accept them if creased, don’t walk in them)
@@zuko655did you get the full size down ones yet? I have a few pairs that are half size down but theyre just a little too big, i want to go down a full size i'm just worried they'll be too small
Their leather sneakers were way too narrow, I could not even stand in them, much less walk in them for a break-in as their customer support suggested. My findings are a common problem of their sneakers, google the internet.
@@bmccook14 unfortunately I did not find white leather in gum sole and wide, not a good company strategy for the company known for narrow sized shoes. Must be targeted more for South America feet.
Love em both lol. The dowler is more comfortable and a little more elegant. The captains are a little more casual and rugged. I personally think I like the comfort and fit of the dowlers better so i enjoy wearing them more. However I wear my captains more because usually I’m going to less formal places so I like to look a little more casual and I don’t mind if I get my captains dirty because they are brown and I think they still look good if they are a little distressed.
I've had mine for over three years. I liked them so much that i got them re-soled when the original soles wore down. The upper is still holding strong. Definitely not a work boot, but good and comfortable for general daily use.
They last much longer than 2 months. Every negative review is one of two things: 1) comparing them to work boots in durability (they aren’t work boots, don’t treat them that way) or 2) comparing them to $300+ boots like red wings (gotta keep price in mind here). For most people for casual use, they are great!
@@tentimetex yes they are, but the Good year welt is only a level two in boot manufacturing, Thorogoods, Redwings lol stitch down is king when you go up another level
Garbage and try to get a refund when they’re not worth wearing. They’ll ghost you and screw you out of your $$$. They did it to me. I hope they read my review on yelp.
I stumbled on these boots in Savers. They were my size and $15. I didn't buy them. They are no better then $30 shoes from Walmart. Total POS. Timberland boots are much better.
A Very weak boot, meant for SOY BOYS with skinny jeans. And are too over priced. You can get Nice 10 year boots from RED WING for that price and can still go casual. Many of the Celebs do. QUALITY should be first for that price.
@@technocreator2054 don’t know of any of the Redwing heritage line going for $200. And you’re talking like $200 is a lot for boots. Sorry I own a pair of Thursdays but also own higher end boots. Sold my Redwings on eBay on Tuesday to finance a different pair of boots

Thursdays are the ‘balling on a budget’ heritage style boot.
$200 dollars is on a budget ? New to the boot world but that tells me other boots are wayyyy more 😭
@@deviction9314don’t ask what I paid for my newest, have one pair of Thursdays but they only get worn about three times a year
@@deviction9314 yeah 200 about entry point for boots nowadays. Higher end ones can be almost 1k
@deviction9314 you can pay in installments for 40 a month
I wouldn't pay 30 for this crap. They belong in Walmart.

What kind of boot oil?
the oil name

Yeah just size down the leather will form to your foot

Good to know! I haven’t gone in the salt yet but that’s a great heads up

Very nice video btw!
Nah, I haven’t had any issues with them yet, they are just becoming more broken in the more I wear them
Contact them, they will send you a new pair. The sole shouldn’t separate.
@@longwalksguidemenerdwalk8866 Yeah, my soles separated at the soles in the front. They mailed me a new pair of boots.
Did they exchange the pair after you had worn them?
Yep 👍🏼

i’m a true size 10 on my sneakers. i know you sized down on these so would you still recommend sizing down? should i get a 9.5?
Same I wear size 11.5 vans don’t know if I should size down as well
Yes
Amazing video. Very Informative!! Thank You!! Are these soles slip resistant?
It don’t feel like it. I’d be careful walking on a slippery surface

shoe stretchers? you clearly didn't order the right size.
I suggest looking at their new Thunder range. Wider than most of the other styles.
great review there bud!
I wear a size 11 on nike air force ones and a size 10.5 on vans old skools what size captain should I get? Thursday said I should go with a size 10.5

Best damn boot ive ever put on.
You also have a BS Dowler. Which one would you choose - Thursday Captain or your BS Dowler?

The dowler is more comfortable and a little more elegant. The captains are a little more casual and rugged.

How much sound do they make when you walk on hard floor? Do you get people’s attention when you are walking by?
If you walk like a normal person theyre quiet but if you stomp your steps then you'll definitely hear them
What color are your boots
Thanks for sharing. I'm considering purchasing my first pair. I wear a size 11, should I do a 101/2?
I personally would lol
I’m in this same boat. Wear size 11 too and wondering if I should do 10.5 or 10
@@AlexBrown-vp5yggo a half size down ,I’m an 11 Brannock and my Thursday Chelsea’s are a 10 1/2
The 11 worked for me.
I think to 10.5 would have been to tight for me
I just ordered these. I have the Matte Black ones hah I wear them all the time, through the rain and all. Thursday Boots just look better with age.
I haven’t gotten black yet but I’m sure they look dope, I agree though, they age like fine wine lol
where are the blue jeans from?
Express clearance rack lol
Had two pairs and both Squeak with every step I took
Oh really, mine are holding up great
Are the good in the winter ?🥾
I think so, unless you’re trying to use them as snow boots
3lbs 1oz is pretty heavy for a boot. Especially for a smallish boot. Most come in between 1.5lbs - 2.5lbs. Just lettin ya know.
is it true that Thursday boots dont last more than 2 month? can anyone tell me their experiences with them?
