I've been wearing the Captain most days over the last three years. Super comfortable. They took a few months to break in, but now they fit like a glove. After three years, I had to replace the outsole on the heel only.
My favorite boots. Great price and build quality are great. Fit is perfect out of the box. Wide widths are also great. Can't get wide widths in Red Wing anymore...Plan on buying a few more pair. I already own 3 and their resilient leathers are also a nice choice for something different. First boots I ever ordered online..
I'm dreaming to further my studies to Columbia University and try to understand boots culture among American. As Malaysian, I'm never know another boots than Timberland & Red Wing.
It's hard to go wrong with Thursday! And good luck with Columbia University! Just show the admissions your sweet new boots and they'll have no choice but to say yes!
I bot thursday. Do go to the states and try them out. I took a risk but its well worth it. But the currency from RM to USD is very steep. To save the cost and headache. Go to the states to buy it. Sizing is a must to get right
Hi I want to ask you about Thursday’s boots. What is the difference in leather in the president full grain leather in black vs captain in Thursday black chrome? Is it thickness ? Is one more water proof ? What about shinning and polishing? Thank you.
Finally someone who doesn't roll their pants up to the top of their boots which looks extra special stupid even though that's how they tell us to wear them. Bravo.
From the looks of it, The captain is slimmer because it’s reinforced with the stitching The president could possibly stretch because nothing to keep it from stretching as much.
I don't think that would even get factored into the decision-making process here at all... I'm a tall and skinny person, and I like the toe-cap because it just looks cooler in a more casual way, but the shoe can still be worn when more dressed up. If you're wearing a sleek fancy suit and need some sleek shiny shoes, then the presidents are closer to what one would want there. I don't think I would ever require shoes that need to be more formal than the Captains, and if an event somewhat did call for it, then I find it fun to have shoes that are a little tougher and cooler looking anyway. Not a fan of super sleek and formal rather boring-looking shoes/boots.
Can you mention some brands for smart casual shoes for a night out? I like the ones from Clarks but I want similar look without real leather. I am not willing to spend time and money on special leather products. I prefer synthetic material just wipe it with bit of water and soap, that easy! Thanks :)
@@kris1089 they are doing very well. Still wearing them for casual occasions, ball games, movies, church, shopping ect. Only flaw I can see is some loose thread on left boot’s welt, not sure what it was attached to. Haven’t cleaned or babied them in anyway except I don’t wear them in wet conditions! Otherwise I’m satisfied!
@@lazysob2328 bruh you bought em same reason why I just ordered the captains for my birthday, Casual wear and Church, but that’s great information to know, luckily there boots if there’s ever a issue with the welt or bottoms I just go to a cobbler.
@@kris1089 my issue is, they have got to last! I get the, “take em to a cobbler”, thing, but cobblers aren’t cheap and needing to get them worked on after only a year of casual wear is suspect. They are still looking ok and there hasn’t been any separation, so time will tell!
Were you hoping for someone to actually try and prove you wrong on this, or was that just a nigh-subconscious way you typed that as a holdover from your younger days of debating religious people on the internet?
@@flfbsphatboyblue8970 - Yea? "god doesn't exist, prove me wrong". The Atomic Whirl atheist symbol. I was roasting myself with that one, too lol. Transported me back to my youth!
I have a pair of captains. 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
DID YOU SAY THE PRESIDENT HAS A CAP TOE? Lol jk. You should mention if you get the speed hooks they do have a hidden eyelet you can use under the speed hook. Most people don't know they and can't see it unless you own a pair.

Need the double E in my life. Great video. Can you talk about companies that serve wide feet?
I have same issue. On the cheaper side florsheim is great.
Allen edmonds on the midrange side from what I saw.

Thanks for your support :)
Red Wing definitely still has wide widths.
thanks for the comparison. appreciate the mention of EEE sizing.
You bet!

How about that jacket? Waxed or nylon?
Great job brother !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you !!!!!!!!!

I can't do it that way because I also think it looks dumb. Also, I don't want to get hairs in them while at the barber shop.
Dude I just saw I'm limited with the wide size 😭. Story of my life lol.
I love my Thursday boots. I have tobacco presidents and natural captains. They cover me for almost every situation.
real question is, does that cap-toe make it feel different or not?
From the looks of it, The captain is slimmer because it’s reinforced with the stitching
The president could possibly stretch because nothing to keep it from stretching as much.
So nice, thank you 🙏
How are these boots on slippery/ice surfaces? For walking on icy streets does the "stormking" sole on the Captains really make a difference?
I'm getting the storm King this week, so I haven't experienced it first hand, but I've heard that it helps a ton in the wet
I love thursdays wingtip.
Macklemore???
If you had to decide between captain or president which would you choose? Thank you
I would do the Captain because I like the cap toe.
Which one would look better on a skinny guy?
President. there’s no break, more streamlined look.
I don't think that would even get factored into the decision-making process here at all...

out of all the Thursday Boots which would you say adds the most height?
Check out the logger or vanguard line. I'd say those add the most height just because the heel is a little taller

@Brandon Lee Barrow what u trying to say
To cap toe or not to cap toe. That is the question...
The President rugged and resilient tobacco is my choice. I hope they last, I’m kind of hard on boots. I wear boots, boots don’t wear me!
How are they going now?

@@lazysob2328 honestly for Thursday’s I wouldn’t even take em to a cobbler, you wouldn’t be saving much, unless you really wanna keep the same upper
The Captain isn’t a true cap toe. It’s a faux cap toe. Prove me wrong.
No one can, even thou I wish they had a 1-1.5 mm cap toe for better protection

he said the same thing 5 times but in different ways
I disagree slightly. Because of the nature of how cap toe boots are made, the Captain has a little roomier toe box compared to the President.

Unfortunately, Thursday doesn’t make boots in wide widths anymore. I guess no more Thursday boots for me.
It’s not even a real cap toe
