Try European brands, some of which are rather big brands too, that have been making shoes like this since before the founders of these trendy social media brands were born. They tend to use lasts that are actually anatomically correct, so you don't need a wide option because the shoe is actually made to fit a human foot. I wear 4E in running shoes and I don't have any issue. I'm not naming any companies because the last thing I want is the trendy social media crowd to turn one of those brands into the latest trendy social fad. I'd have to burn my collection to avoid association. It kind of surprises me that I've never seen any of the social media crowd mention any of these brands since they've well known around the world, have been around forever, but I'm not mad about it. Different worlds I guess. Social media people are only going to swim in their little pond of glorified drop shipper brands like common projects it's dozen derivatives.
@@TimJohnson-x1o im in europe and been trying to find wide sized good quality shoes. cant find them. id love for you to share brands, or at least the google search you would go with to find them. appreciate any input
5:06 sizing issue is definitely something to be careful of with Thursday products. As a warning, I bought their online-reccomended size and thought I was breaking in a tight-feeling shoe. The shoe was too small and Thursday did not refund/stand behind their online rec. Getting the wrong Thursday size can be a costly mistake.
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.
First off, thank you for checking both of these videos out. I hope you got some value out of it. You'll have to keep me posted on how you like the suede loafers from them!
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
Hey man really convincing video with accurate facts. Great work. I wear size 10.5 in skechers and 11 in Nike. Thursday size recommendation suggests me to order size 11. what do you recommend? Should I still go for wider option (EE) considering I cannot wear shoes that are too narrow from the front. would really appreciate if you respond.
Thank you for the kind words! Thats tough because Nike runs narrow in my opinion. Because I work so closely to podiatrists (foot doctors) I know a wider shoe is always the best bet. I don’t think you’ll have any issues if you go that route. If anything, you could always buy the regular and narrow and return the ones you don’t like. 👍🏼 Thanks again!
I have several pair of their sneakers and like them a lot however, they run narrow in the toe and i have a reg width foot and do not have issues with other shoe brands,,,,i wish they made the toe box a tad wider or offered wide widths ,,, they did not when i bought them....i use a shoe tree which helps some but it is not as good as having a proper width
I just got the yesterday sneakers in a size 10, and they are crazy snug. I pretty much can't walk around. I do have a pair of the captains in a size 10 and I have no issue with them. So now I'm wondering when I return them if I should get a size 10.5 or get a 10 wide. I don't have wife feet either.
thanks for the review. Have you by chance seen the Bruno Marc Men's Casual Dress Sneakers Skate Shoes ? They're only $40 and look the same. It would be great to do a comparison of the two.
@@alexiscuarezma I have reviewed a Bruno Mark shoes in the past and while they are a cheaper option and budget friendly, the quality is nowhere near the quality of Thursday. Thursday utilizes real leather out of reputable tanneries. Bruno Mars utilizes synthetic leather. I think both brands do a great job, but if you want something that’s going to last a little bit longer you may want to invest in Thursday.
@@lantzkulp thanks so much for the quick response. Aye, how long is a little bit longer for 3x the price? I certainly know you pay what you get for. I have a pair of slip on black sneaker from The Greats I got 7 years ago and they still hold up great. They were $200. But I'm building my shoe collection and I wouldn't wear the white sneakers much. So I'm debating if I should spend $120 on shoes I'd wear maybe 20-30% of the time. Then again, buying cheap is almost like wasting money. Would you say Bruno Mars aren't worth at all? Or okay for wearing maybe a few times a month?
@ that’s a tough call. If it were me, I’d go with something that’s going to last. I can’t stand wasting money 😂. Not to say you’d do that with BM but I’d rather invest in the quality aspect.
@@lantzkulp I ended up buying the Sketchers Arch Fit Legend - Drezo. I know the brand well and the price was $110 and got them on sale for $88. All white, premium leather. Same exact look. Now I just wish I could compare them to Thursdays ha!
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?
@@viniciusacmauroI see what you’re saying. Was the brown pair regular width? I’m wondering if they updated the last they use when you ordered your latest pair.
I have the brown ones with leather shoelaces, I love them! They remind me of fancy bowling shoes. Mine still look like new although I've had them several years now and WORN them. I have my eyes on a pair of their Chelsea Boots! now! 😂
I bought High Top Premier Sneaker in Tobacco. Its leather is super tough and caused blisters on my feet even after 1-2 mths of me trying to break it in. Don’t waste your money on it. Online reviews are mostly bs….
That’s unfortunate that happened to you. It sounds like you may have just ordered a size too small (which is common). Did you try another size after returning them? As for reviews online, I beg to differ from your opinion. The leather comes from reputable tanneries and it’s assembled with quality materials. Some of the best leather reviewers have spoken to how high the quality is along with the price point. Sounds like you just had a bad experience.
they rub very narrow... also they squeak a lot when walking. i want to order a double e size to see if that can be a solution to the problems i have with the shoes
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.
@@ItsSeals I guess it would decide on how "snug" your shoes are. If your pinky toe and or big toe are being squished, I'd return for a wider option. 👍🏼
