I was REALLY unimpressed by my Thursday sneaker. Leather started cracking early on, the bottom already wearing off, just didn't have good quality.

Wow! This is a great and honest honest honest review. I’ve been considering these shoes for a while. After seeing this review I will definitely spend a little more towards another brand.

This was a really nice vid. Cheers my dude

I like the eye lit idea! I know some brands don’t use eyelids at all and will often times pull on the shoe string and it pierces right through the leather and results in a dis-functional shoe unfortunately. I agree that somehow brands can be sketchy and weigh heavily on social media to sell their shoes. I can be the first to say that Thursday isn’t that company (not implying you were suggesting that). I think people often forget that marketing has changed dramatically in the past 10+ years and utilizing different tactics such as influencers, social media etc has a great advantage than randomized marketing. It’s important for the consumer to do their research before purchasing a product. Hence why I started this channel to help others do that. Analine leather is very high quality but yet requires more care. Usually in this price range, the consumer isn’t looking for something like that. But Thursday does offer pretty much as good as you can get leather without a large markup. Not only that, but the outsole rubber is also high quality. I also think Analine leather is a preference for the consumer. Is it great? Yes but like I said, it requires far more upkeep and care. In terms of anatomical shape, I must agree with the fact that these didn’t blow anyone out of the water. But, I know they have changed the last to help better themselves in that retrospect. I think you have to give beginner shoe/boot companies time to adapt to what their consumers feedback is to perfect their products. The shoe companies you’re referring to have had decades of trial and error to perfect theirs. All-in-all I think companies such as Thursday and Beckett Simonon offer amazing products at their price point for those who shop in those price ranges. This was an amazing comment by yourself and I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write it. 🙏 Best, Lantz

IMO the smarter thing to do is to use hidden eyelets. That way it looks like there aren't eyelets from the outside but if you look inside you will see that there are. Other brands that have been making and selling shoes in this style, since before the founders of any of these new trendy social media marketing companies were even born, do this. Also not being a middleman, glorified drop shipper like most of these social media fly by night brands are, and actually being a large well-established company has many benefits such as economies of scale. Meaning they have access to materials, technology and processes that the smaller companies don't. I'm not saying that's what Thursday is. Thursday seems like the least shady or scum like, the most legit, of any of these social media brands I've seen all over youtube. I still don't think I'd ever try their shoe when there are other brands, usually European brands that trendy social media hip folks seem to have never heard of, sell high quality shoes of a similar sort. That way consumers aren't going in blind and actually know what they're getting. I'd be more curious if any these social media companies selling shoes like this actually use aniline leather. There's no chance they're going to do that on a white shoe, but maybe for other colors. You can't fake aniline leather, only the best leather is finished in that way so it's a solid bet that you're getting high quality. For folks that like leather, aniline is just better. It wears and ages better, it lasts much longer than solid pigment or coated leathers. Sure, the solid pigment and coated leathers look good in the short to medium term and they are lower fuss, more water resistant and don't tend to scuff or mark as easily however once they start to go, that's it, there is no coming back. Because once that top layer is worn or cracks there isn't anything you can do. Analine leather on the other hand looks better off the bat because you can actually see the grain not just the plastic coating on top. It patinas gorgeously as it ages and literally lasts forever. You can easily buff it back to a like new condition again and again after years and years. As it's pigmented transparently, you can even change the way it looks entirely; making it lighter, darker, giving it various patinas, or even dye it a different color. Leather rant aside. The biggest difference I see aside from markups and middlemen posing as manufacturers is in the midsole. aka what your foot is actually stepping on. Most of these shoes are using solid or air blown rubber which is firm and unforgiving. The lasts tend to be narrow and not anatomically correct. European brands that have been making shoes like this for a very long time tend to use anatomically correct lasts that actually properly fit a human foot and some of them use much more comfortable and forgiving materials in the midsole, while still using a very hard-wearing rubber on the outsole that holds up to years and years of daily wear. I see lots of obsessing over leather from consumers that basically don't understand anything about leather and obsessing over marketing buzzwords for rather mundane things like Marom cupsoles, which is nothing more than a specific brand name for a generic rubber cupsole that isn't any better than any other rubber cupsole. it's a brand name, that's all it is. They have 60 employees. Lots of folks seem to think it's some special magical material. It's literally rubber.

Do they run true to size?

Thursday’s or Beckett Simonon???

This is the first honest review I have ever seen

I have 3 pairs 1st one was about 3 years ago and still love it. Then I bought 2 more (1year ago and afew months ago) . But these last 2 are not as slim or sleek.. there form/style is a little different but in a negative way.. it makes them look chunkier.. Have any of you experienced this?

Would you consider these TTS length wise?

😂😂😂😂😂

Right when I think he can't get anymore handsome, he does this.

I have a pair of the premier in cocoa and gum sole. The leather on mine is 2.6mm (I have a micrometer) that's tongue and inside past the 2nd heel leather. I really like them, but break-in is a bitch.

Looking for comfort for standing 10 hours a day. Excited to eventually try them out. Size 10, Texas, USA, Great Sense of Humor, Part-Time Pirate

He refuses to miss!

Just ordered these and I seriously can’t wait! I have waited for over a year to pull the trigger on these. Got the all white and then I see the epic looking gray ones also. But I think the next pair will be black with the white bottom.

I like Beckett Simonon, because they’re Blake stitched, so they’re resolable and no “brake in” needed, super comfortable right out of the box and very affordable.

Can we talk about how the sole doesn't even last a year? The shoes are great but I'm disappointed in the sole. I've worn a pair for the last year daily, as part of work and going around town. This has caused severe wear at the balls of both my feet just from walking. To the point where I can almost push my index finger through the rubber.

Did the bird dogs shrink after the wash? Specifically the length.

The ring eyelets look terrible on white sneakers so if Beckett sees this please DONT!

Mine are snug on the toes too. Going to return for wide

Great choice … I’ve never been a seersucker fan, but after seeing you in seersucker, I’m a convert!

Good review, I value comfort but also value. I think it’s the old buy once cry once is particularly true. For 200 dollars I expect a good quality product, not to say these aren’t but the glue being exposed is not a good sign. For 200 you can find other brands utilizing a goodyear welt with quality stitching.

If they are glued you can have them resoled

This is a great video! The cons really helped me. I still bought the shoe, but now I know what I'm getting into (no pun intended).

I would highly recommend a video review on Archibald London ultralight sneakers. Deer skin made in Italy and priced fair

Thursday or Cole Haan Sneakers ?

And, so you get that classic hotel bellhop look....

So you can say go Queensland

You can't keep leather from creasing. Those complaining about leather shoes creasing are just ignorant when comes to leather shoes.

Winner.

did they just missed the alphabet "T" in 2:11??

Another Banger!

Very helpful!

Great video!

I’m really looking into getting one of these, I have a slightly wide foot so I’m torn on what size to get, I like my shoes snug, and on shoes that are normally wider I wear a 9.5, narrower shoes I wear a size 10. I notice that there’s bigger width options online, but I’ve got no idea what width option would be best

Great look man! You brought the heat indoors!

You can have an honest review or a sponsored video. What this is, an ad. and what you are is a liar. fits right in on youtube. but no one with half a brain should trust a thing you say about it. If you had an ounce of integrity you would have bought them with your own money without contacting the brand in any way. but that's not why you make youtube videos, lets be real. you want free stuff and you want to make money on the side showing off free stuff. sweet deal. The fact that the brand is willing to do sponsored videos for guys with a few hundred subs gives more useful information than this video could. to be clear though. Spain has a rich history of working with leather and shoes. Tons of amazing companies in Spain making high end stuff similar in quality to the Italian and French names for a much better value. Colombia inherited some of this tradition through Spanish colonialism. However Colombia also has quite a reputation for... let's just say... unscrupulous business activities. And I'm not referring to the drug trade, I'm talking about all sorts of products and services which absolutely includes handmade leather goods. That's not an uncommon one. There's another Colombian made brand that sells similar stuff through Amazon and almost all of their positive reviews are the most obvious fakes I have seen. None of the so called reviewers bothered to remove the tags, they all uploaded photos, and all the accounts only have 1 review, clearly the same camera used in all of them. If you bother to check their store rating, rather than the individual products, that's where you get a drastically different and more accurate picture of how real customers felt about the products. I reported it to Amazon and the company fought back and had Amazon ban my ability to review products. I spent over $17,000 on amazon that year and often left honest and well researched reviews which got a lot of helpful votes. Nope, Gotta keep the scams going. I'm not saying that's what this is. This looks like a fine product. I don't believe it's worth $170 for one second, but no one actually pays that. These go on sale for $99 all the time. You could for sure do worse for that kind of money. But I would think anyone that actually wants a shoe that has, let's say, social appeal, would opt for brands that carry more social capital. These are for sure for a certain kind of customer that's looking for let's say a presumably luxury item but only, let's say, "for a deal."

I have six pairs of Thursdays-4 boots, 1 shoes and these. All the boots are a 9, except one pair of the boots are an 8 1/2 and are useless. The shoes are also an 8 1/2 and are useless too. I’m gonna get them stretched and hopefully I’ll be able to wear them. The sneakers are a 9 1/2 and are comfortable but could fit better. I just bought a pair of penny loafers and they told me to get an 8 1/2. I’m hoping they’ll fit. So herein lies my issue with Thursdays. The sizing is terrible. My boots are from the early days so the nines are perfect . I wish they would standardize their sizing because I think you can’t get a better pair of shoes for the price point.

I’m 66 I don’t tuck in my shirts anymore and I love bird dogs. I also love Vouri

I have the Reid sneakers, and also have shoe trees in them, however, I’m wondering it’s necessary with their short toe box.

Lookin’ good man … good hot weather choices!

The premier white comes in wide and extra wide.

I didnt expect to like them as much as i did, They go with everything. I saw your video on the Beckett Simonon white sneakers and im glad i got these. I will go to Beckett Simonon for the suede loafers.

Got that sexy style thang going on! I like it!

I’ve been wearing Beckett Simonon for a while. I own an older pair of Reids and 2 new pairs (1 high top, 1 low top). I feel that the first is higher quality. The new sole although it does add grip seems cheaper. Also, the shoe box is definitely way more flimsy. I worked in retail for many years and I understand that the change in the cost of materials leaves the brand to make a decision to either raise the price of the product or choose other materials and keep the price the same. It seems like they chose the latter. Gonna see how the new pairs wear over time. These same changes aren’t dealbreakers in my opinion but just observations, and/or comparison of the original and the new product.

Cool style but the short pants, i struggle with. Also, why not a belt?

That boy can move.

They lasted 3 months

I'm a big Thursday fan who's made many purchases from them (boots and sneakers). The pros with the sneakers is that they're sleek and stylish so they go with just about any outfit. The quality is great for the price. Other brands may have better quality, but it's ridiculous to spend hundreds of dollars for a sneaker! Cons include the narrowness of the sneakers, creasing of certain pairs and a some minor QC issues, like inconsistent glue and loose stitching (this is hardly noticeable) That said, unless you have a wide foot, Thursday sneakers are a great value for the price point.
